How to create a control like Tags

Hi Dharmesh,
Firs you have to create Database to store tags which contain fields "TagID (Pk)" ,"TagName".
After that create table to link tag with message. This table have fields "TagId (fk)" "MessageID(fk)".
User enter tags in text box. one message may have more than 1 tag. So all tags will be seperated by comma(,).
On click of post button tags data will save in Database.

protected void btnPost_Click(Object sender,EventArgs e)

{

string tag=txtTags.text;

string tags[]=tag.Split(',');

foreach(string s in tags)

{

if(!TagAlreadyExists())

{
//First save tag in database and find out its TagID

// save tag in database for perticular messageID and TagID

}

else

{

//find TagId of s from Database and then store MessageID and TagID in database

}
