Search within Gridview Not in database.

Search within Gridview based on search criteria



In other forum,  one user asked me to search within Grid view , and its display only those rows which match with the search criteria. so I given some code like this:



Code Snippet :

             // iterate through all rows

             for (int j = 0; j < GridView1.Rows.Count; j++)

             {

                 // iterate through all cols

                 for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count; i++)

                 {

                      //match each cell of row with search value

                     if (GridView1.Rows[j].Cells[i].Text.Contains("search criteria"))

                     {

                          //set visible true if match with criteria

                         GridView1.Rows[j].Cells[i].Visible = true;

                         break;

                     }

                      else

                     {

                          //set visible false if match with criteria

                         GridView1.Rows[j].Cells[i].Visible = false;

                    }

                }

            }
