And so on… this is the code:

  <%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="Search_CS" %>
    using System;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;
    using System.Configuration;
    using System.Text;

    public class Search_CS : IHttpHandler {

    public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
        string prefixText = context.Request.QueryString["q"];
        using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection())
        {
            conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager
                    .ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
            {
                cmd.CommandText = "select * from directory where name like @SearchText + '%'";
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SearchText", prefixText);
                cmd.Connection = conn;
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); 
                conn.Open();
                using (SqlDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    while (sdr.Read())
                    {
                        sb.Append(sdr["name"])
                            .Append(Environment.NewLine);
                    }
                }
                conn.Close();
                context.Response.Write(sb.ToString()); 
            }
        }
    }

    public bool IsReusable {
        get {
            return false;
        }
    }
    }

Answer 1

when your adding name to your string builder, also add the email.. this code should work

while (sdr.Read())
{
    sb.Append(sdr["name"] + " " + sdr['email']).Append(Environment.NewLine);
}

or

while (sdr.Read())
{
    sb.Append(sdr["name"])
    sb.Append(" ") //space between name and email
    sb.Append(sdr['email'])
    sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
}
