Yes, of course. asp:TextBox is rendered as an input just as you use it now.

See this article: TextBox AutoComplete with ASP.NET and jQuery UI

Here’s a quick example:

<asp:TextBox ID="tbAuto" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $("input[id$=tbAuto]").autocomplete({ /* .. */ });
</script>

I’ve modified this example so you can see how the selector will work with ClientIDMode left as the default AutoID, but if you set it to Static you can use a direct selector:

<asp:TextBox ID="tbAuto" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static"></asp:TextBox>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $("#tbAuto").autocomplete({ /* .. */ });
</script>
