VB.NET

Private Sub TextBox6_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox6.TextChanged
    Dim DV As New DataView(ED_dataDataSet27.Users)
    DV.RowFilter = String.Format("User name Like '%{0}%'", TextBox6.Text)
    DataGridView3.DataSource = DV
End Sub

What I have tried:

I tried to change to |" DV.RowFilter = String.Format("Password Like '%{0}%'", TextBox6.Text) " | and it worked but when I change from Password to User name, this error come up | "Syntax error: Missing operand after 'i' operator vb.net" |

It's the space in your name.
Try this:

VB

DV.RowFilter = String.Format("[User name] Like '%{0}%'", TextBox6.Text)

BTW: Do yourself a favour, and stop using Visual Studio default names for everything - you may remember that "TextBox6" is the user name today, but when you have to modify it in three weeks time, will you then? Use descriptive names - "tbUserName" for example - and your code becomes easier to read, more self documenting, easier to maintain - and surprisingly quicker to code because Intellisense can get to to "tbUserName" in three keystrokes, where "TextBox6" takes thinking about and 8 keystrokes...
