Thanks guys, I was able to make it work using your articles. The key point was mentioned in one of the articles which was that suggestion component is preconfigured in techproducts sample. I started my work from there and tweaked it to suit my needs. Thanks a lot!
One thing still remaining, I don't find the support for "suggest" is Solr.NET. What I found is that we should use Spell check but that is not the recommended option as per the articles. Spell Check component in Solr.NET will use /spell component while I have configured suggestions using /suggest component. It is easy to handle it myself as well but I was just wondering if Solr.NET supports suggest component somehow.
