Hi,

I'd like my searchbox.text to display not only the LastName but corresponded by FirstName... by using a space or a comma, any of those two.

this is my code

Dim dv As New DataView(dbdataset)
dv.RowFilter = String.Format("LastName Like '%{0}%'", TextBox6.Text)
DataGridView1.DataSource = dv

thanks in advance...

If I understand your question correctly, you can use Or operator. Something like

"LastName Like '%{0}%' Or FirstName Like '%{1}%'"

If you want to embed space to the condition for first and last name consider something like

"LastName Like '% {0}%' Or FirstName Like '%{1} %'"
