Please assist. Instead of filtering I want to find a value for example value 10 and jump to that value 10 but still display values that are less than 10 and greater than 10. This value is a size of something so if I don't have size 10 I want to be able to see available sizes greater or less as they may suite my need. Values are sorted in ascending order So instead of filtering the data I am jumping to value 10 and should be able to scroll up or down to see values less or greater than my value. If The value 10 is not available it can jump to the next greater value. My code below is not selecting the value I searched for, it is just displaying from zero.
Sub search()
Try
DataGridRecords.Rows.Clear()
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * from tblDies where `IDSIZE` <> " & txtIdSize.Text & " ", conn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
While dr.Read
DataGridRecords.Rows.Add(dr.Item("ID"), dr.Item("DIENUMBER"), dr.Item("DESCRIPT"), dr.Item("OLDNUMBER"), dr.Item("CODE"), dr.Item("QUANTITY"), dr.Item("IDSIZE"), dr.Item("ODSIZE"), dr.Item("HEIGHT"), dr.Item("FLANGE HT"), dr.Item("FLANGE DIA"), dr.Item("CuRef"), dr.Item("CUTEL"), dr.Item("CuContact"), dr.Item("Price-selling"), dr.Item("P/no"), dr.Item("Stoksize"), dr.Item("Material"), dr.Item("Shore"), dr.Item("DieChkd"), dr.Item("DIECOST"), dr.Item("DATE"), dr.Item("REMARKS"), dr.Item("PRREF"))
End While
DataGridRecords.Sort(DataGridRecords.Columns(6), System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Ascending)
dr.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
conn.Close()
End Sub
Don't add the data directly to your grid. Populate a DataTable
and bind that to the grid via a BindingSource
. If you need to sort (you should use the query by default) then set the Sort
property. The BindingSource
has a Find
method that will return an index, which you can assign to its Position
property.
Dim table As New DataTable
table.Load(myDataReader)
myBindingSource.DataSource = table
myDataGridView.DataSource = myBindingSource
myBindingSource.Position = myBindingSource.Find(columnName, value)
