If the item to be searched for is the Primary Key you can use the DataTable.Find()[^] method.

Otherwise use a BindingSource and the BindingSource.Find()[^] method.

Alternatively, if you are using a BindingSource, there is the BindingSource.Filter[^] property, which may be better for cases where there is more than one match.
