hi i have done it in a project about 2 yrs before,

loop through each row then column in gridview

search for columns (cells) for starting value in ur case "a"

if current cell or column contain or starts with "a" just make this row selected (you have to set multiselect = true in gridview) and continue from the loop;

it might work.

Solution 2

Write a Select Query,

SQL

mSQL= "Select * From TableName Where ColumnName LIKE 'A%'";

Get this Data in a DataTable.
At last set

C#

DataGridView.DataSource=DataTable.

Hope This Help
