how to search in gridview values using textbox 

VB.NET  in ASP.NET


This example demonstrates how to search/query gridview using textbox .

Step 1) Add GridView and bind it to List of Customer History.

       <div style="width:600px;">
        <div style="float:right;"><font color="green;"><b>Search  String:</b></font>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtQuery" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" OnClick="btnSearch_Click" /></div>

       <div style="float:right;"> 

<asp:GridView Caption="<h1 style='color:red;text-align:left;'>GridView Search using Textbox</h1>" CaptionAlign="Left"  ID="GridView1" runat="server" Width="568px" EmptyDataText="No data Found"></asp:GridView>

</div>
       </div>

add a class called CustOrderHistResult.vb
Public Class CustOrderHistResult
Public WriteOnly Property ProductName() As String
Set (ByVal Value As String) 
}
End Set
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property Total() As Integer
Get 
}
End Get
End Property
End Class

Here is the OUTPUT




 Figure 1:  All data 
Figure 2:  searching for value 6

Figure 3: searching for   "spread"  as shown below

Figure 4:  Pass some junk value , it returns Search result is nothing..
