So you need to type the parameter in a input box to filter the Grid?

Are you using VS 2003 or VS 2005?

Database SQL or Access?

Ok, what's the problem? Assume you want your users to enter a term in a textbox then you will search for that term. Is that correct? Give a little more info on the issue and what you need.

VS 2005 et database Access

You could loop through the rows in the datagridview ? Or maybe re-query the datasource?

Dim intcount As Integer = 0
For Each Row As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
If DataGridView1.Rows(intcount).Cells(0).Value = "StringSearch" Then
'Do Something
intcount +=1
End If
Next Row

Do you want to search a particuar column from the DB or just any text in the Grid?

Text in the grid... I think they mean... ?

You Can use something like this using DataView

Dim dv As New DataView(ds.Tables(0))
dv.RowFilter = "FirstName = '" & TextBox1.Text & "'"
DataGrid1.DataSource = dv

You can replace the Textbox2.text to the value returned from the inputbox.

hi thanks it works...
the search works, it select only the fullrows containing the firstname i type in the input box but all the other data disappear.
i don't want it to disapppear, i want it to be in the datagrid..
help me plz

i want to search a particular rows in the datagrid..
for example Any columns containing the data the user want to type, i want only the the data to be selected


for ex the user may want to serach all female, then only the rows female will b selected

Private Function Find(ByVal StrSearchString As String) As Boolean

        DataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect

        Dim intcount As Integer = 0
        For Each Row As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
            If DataGridView1.Rows(intcount).Cells(0).Value.ToString = StrSearchString Then
                DataGridView1.Rows(intcount).Selected = True                
                    Find = True
                Exit Function
            End If
            intcount += 1
        Next Row
        Find = False
    End Function

I think the logic from Triss would do that. Let me know.

Hi triss can u help me how can i search name that starts with the letter F in a datagridview.
For example if i type F in the inputbox i got every name started with the letter F.

Hi I would either use the filter options or requery your datasource.

Hey guys I have been closely watching your threads regarding searching a record in a datagrid as I have the same problem as Geetajilo.

I can easily search for something in a datagrid by entering a field into a textbox and pressing the search button. This works fine when the record is already in the datagrid, but however how can you retrieve a record from the database and place it in the datagrid.??


Thanks for your time

You can do it by quering it based on a column name. So you have to write a backend query to bind your search to the GRID.

For Each CurrentRow As DataGridViewRow In DgCustomerList.Rows
            If CurrentRow.Cells(3).Value.ToString.Contains(TxtSearch.Text) Then
                CurrentRow.Selected = True
            Else
                DgCustomerList.Rows(0).Selected = True
            End If
        Next
    End Sub
