Search Multiple Database Columns with a Single Textbox Using dataGridView





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I am trying to use a single textbox to search multiple
columns in a database. The following code works for one
single column.



private void tboxSearchRID_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataView dv = dt.DefaultView;
dv.RowFilter = "RID1 LIKE '%" + tboxSearchRID.Text + "%'" ;
}


This code works fine with just the single Database column RID1.
Is there a way that I can include RID2, RID3, RID4 into the same
search?

          We are talking about an ADO.NET DataView right?



          You can use a filter that applies to multiply columns OR in the SQL:



          dv.RowFilter = string.Format(
          "RID1 LIKE '%{0}%' OR RID2 LIKE '%{0}%' OR RID3 LIKE '%{0}%' OR RID4 LIKE '%{0}%'", tboxSearchRID.Text
          );

          • And a Home run for you, my friend. How fortunate to get the perfect answer on the first try. I'm only a hobby programmer with (believe it or not) about 2 - 3 weeks experience and absolutely no training. So, my questions may be simple, but a real PITA to solve on my own. Thank you so much
