Solution 1

Have a look at this[^] MSDN article.
The first example (To find an item using text) from the article demonstrates the usage ListView.FindItemWithText[^] method. :)

[EDIT AFTER OP COMMENT]
You wanted to filter a ListView based on a text entered in TextBox. I gave you a link with example that does exactly what you want.
Now you want from me to suggest an answer for your question. My answer is the same, because the question is the same. If you elaborate and explain what is your specific problem I'll do my best in order to help you but with given information from you, that is all I can do.

Thanks 4 ur reply. I'm fetching only one value that too in msgbox. I dont require this.
When i enter substring in textbox and when press enter, it should match with Name column of listview and listview should display all the rows that are matched else raise error.

eg:
if i enter "t" in textbox..it should match with Name column of listview and display all the rows that are matched else raise error.
Hope now it's clear to u..Plz reply soon
