dataview

[dagoose]

Hi All,

i am trying to write a simple search screen, 1 text box, 1 datagrid and a search button with a datafilter.

Dim sn As String
        sn = txtSurname.Text
        Dim dvCFilter As New DataView(objdsCSearch.Tables("CDetails"), _
                                  "Surname = '& sn &'", _
                                  "DOB", _
                                  DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
            grdCDetails.DataSource = dvFilter

This works if i change ' & sn & ' to an actual surname but i need to be able to search by the name entered into the text box.

Should i be using dataview to filter?

Cheers

Try:

"Surname='" & sn &"'",
