Introduction

ASPX File

In aspx page three controls has been added.

• txtSearch used to enter the search string.
• Button1 used to start search.
• ListView1 used to show the result set.

// write code here
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Search" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
    <asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" ItemPlaceholderID="itemPlaceholder">
        <LayoutTemplate>
            <table border="0" cellpadding="1">
                <tr style="background-color: #E5E5FE">
                    <th align="left" >
                        <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text="Name" ></asp:Literal>
                    </th>
                    <th align="left">
                        <asp:Literal ID="Literal2" runat="server" Text="Country" ></asp:Literal>
                    </th>
                </tr>
                <tr id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server">
                </tr>
            </table>
        </LayoutTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
            <tr runat="server" id="_itemrow">
                <td >
                    <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'></asp:Literal>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <asp:Literal ID="Literal2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Country") %>' ></asp:Literal>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:ListView>

C# Code

public partial class TestPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
ListView1.ItemDataBound += new EventHandler<ListViewItemEventArgs>(ListView1_ItemDataBound);
if (!IsPostBack)
       BindListView();
}

void ListView1_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtSearch.Text) && 
txtSearch.Text.Trim().Length > 0)
{
string srch = txtSearch.Text.Trim().ToLower();
var _data = (e.Item as ListViewDataItem).DataItem as Sample;
if ((!string.IsNullOrEmpty(_data.Name) && 
_data.Name.ToLower().Contains(srch)) || (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(_data.Country) && 
_data.Country.ToLower().Contains(srch)))
{
HtmlTableRow abc = e.Item.FindControl("_itemrow") as HtmlTableRow;
abc.BgColor = "Green";
}
}
}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
BindListView();
}

private void BindListView()
{
ListView1.DataSource = GetSampleList();
ListView1.DataBind();
}

private List<Sample> GetSampleList()
{
// build a sample collection to bind in list view
List<Sample> lst = new List<Sample>();
lst.Add(new Sample { Country = "India", Name = "Dotnetfunda" });
lst.Add(new Sample { Country = "Usa", Name = "abc def" });
lst.Add(new Sample { Country = "Singapore", Name = "hello z" });
lst.Add(new Sample { Country = "UK", Name = "salman khan" });
return lst;
}
}

public class Sample
{
public string Name { get;set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
