Search within Gridview Not in database.

Search all rows and columns of gridview from gridview, not searching from the database.

Search within Gridview based on search criteria



In other forum,  one user asked me to search within Grid view , and its display only those rows which match with the search criteria. so I given some code like this:



Code Snippet :

             // iterate through all rows

             for (int j = 0; j < GridView1.Rows.Count; j++)

             {

                 // iterate through all cols

                 for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count; i++)

                 {

                      //match each cell of row with search value

                     if (GridView1.Rows[j].Cells[i].Text.Contains("search criteria"))

                     {

                          //set visible true if match with criteria

                         GridView1.Rows[j].Cells[i].Visible = true;

                         break;

                     }

                      else

                     {

                          //set visible false if match with criteria

                         GridView1.Rows[j].Cells[i].Visible = false;

                    }

                }

            }
