Powerful Search Technique..

hello.

How to do Search in the method which is done in MSDN library 2005 (local application)?

i.e enabling a search filter and then (most incredibly) as you type the criteria, the
list gets updated depending on the characters entered.

for eg. you type: loo
and obtain the following display:
Look in dialog box
Look tab
lookaheads
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l

How to use this fast searching technique in vb.net 2005 and the items to be searched in
sql server 2005 express?

Hi,
The best alternative i think is the SQL Server 2005 Full-Text search feature. Here where to start : SQL Server 2005 Full-Text Search: Internals and Enhancements

POST BACK TO SERVER

hi all,

i want to filter data from a database using parameters supplied by the user via textboxes. i've been able to write the select statement. my problem now is, the code behind for the "view data" button. do i do "sqldatasource1.select" orpost the databack to theserver? if i'm topostback to theserver, whats the code i should use?

protected void button1_Click(object sender, Eventargs e)

{

????

}

I guess it depends. Are you simply displaying data within something like a GridView? If so, then just use GridView.DataBind() and set your Parameters within the SqlDataSource.Selecting event. You could also set up your Parameters to be ControlParameters and point them directly to your TextBoxes.

well i had done that already. it was just the code behind i needed. i didnt put any code and at runtime i clicked the button and it posted to the server. so i guess thats all i need. thanks for the input though
