Hi,

I want to populate a DataGridView that I am using in my form. I have a form with a text box, a button and a DataGridView control. I want that when I enter a string in the text box and click the button, matching records from a table in my access DB should be displayed in my DataGridView.
Any ideas on how to do this ???
Any help wud be much appreciated.

Since you are using Access as the back end, you will need the following namespace added to your form by inserting the following:

Imports System.Data.OleDb

Next, read up on the use of the following data objects and properties:

1.) OleDbCommand
2.) OleDbDataAdapter
3.) Dataset
4.) DataGridView.DataSource

Your post is very general in nature. If you are trying this for the first time you will generate many more questions before you are done.

Good luck.
