I have a text box in my ASP page and yes I using database.
I want to show all names which is all names previously entered. When a user types in a letter in that textbox, whatever names starting with that letter.
The names are from a list generated by other function, pulled out from active directory.
So for example:
When user types in "a" in a textbox then automatically names "aron" "asron" "amanda" in the list shows, and user can select one of those names.
Actually I'm using ASP language not ASP.NET. I have tried using normal coding but I can't get the result that I want because if I using that coding, user must entered full name instead the first letter.

You need to learn Javascript I believe. Attach to the keyup event, then search the db with ajax and display the results in a drop down.

W3Schools has a lesson on "live searches" for both
ASP & Ajax
and
PHP & Ajax
. I would use PHP and Ajax (:
