Is there a web control which is the equivalent of a drop down combobox
with an editable portion ? It seems backwards to have to use two
separate web controls, a drop down list and a textbox, to implement this
idea which has its own solution in a single control under Windows.

No. There is not an HTML control equivalent to the Win Forms combo box. You
have to design custom controls to do it. Look at this sample using atlas in
asp.net 2.0:

Unfortunately there is no ComboBox in HTML. But you can create one using
JavaScript or use one that somebody else already wrote.
Here are some suggested resources for creating an ASP.NET combo box:

This is neat. Is this use of WinForm controls on WebForms documented
anywhere in MSDN ?
