filter listview based on text entered in textbox

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

In a listview control, I have a textbox which I want to use autofiltering in. For instance, if I enter kis into the textbos then I would expect that all records that start with kis would be displayed (similar to the way that Google autofiltering works). Does anybody have any pointers on where I should start?

Solution 1

You need to handle the TextChanged event for the textbox control, and in that event handler, perform a linq query on your dataset to find all entries that start with whatever letters have been typed, and put them in the listbox.

Keep in mind that this is only going to practical if your dataset only has a small number of records.
