Good day

How can I use special characters % and * in DataView.RowFilter
expression in which I have already LIKE statement?

I am using a DataView to display records from datatable. I allow
users to enter the string which will be pasted into RowFilter in such way

MyDataView.RowFilter= myColumn LIKE '%"+MyTextBox.Text+"%'";

What must I change in the RowFilter Statement?

hi

dataView.RowFilter = "Name LIKE '%ad%'" // values that contain 'ad'
if you want for the value of textbox,Please try to concatenate it

dataView.RowFilter = "Name LIKE '%"+MyTextBox.Text+%'";

I wrote the following and it works

ViewTermDetails.RowFilter = string.Concat("CONVERT(", myColumn,",System.String) LIKE '%", Textbox.Text, "%'");
