when the wordt isn't found , or there is no text in the text box , i want a msgbox to open.
can somebody help me whit the code
Dim strcolumn, strsearchvalueAsString
strcolumn = CataloogDataSet2.boltype.Columns(0).ColumnName
strsearchvalue = toolstriptextbox1.Text
Me.BoltypeBindingSource.Position =Me.BoltypeBindingSource.Find(strcolumn, strsearchvalue)
Dim strcolumn, strsearchvalue As String strcolumn = CataloogDataSet2.boltype.Columns(0).ColumnName strsearchvalue = toolstriptextbox1.Text Dim index As int index = Me.BoltypeBindingSource.Find(strcolumn, strsearchvalue) If index >= 0 Then Me.BoltypeBindingSource.Position = index Else MessageBox.Show("Not Found!") End If just check for any syntax errors as i'm typing this code directly without testing it in VS IDE.
Works great THANKS
but if i press the button when the textbox is empty i get following error
System.FormatException was unhandled
oh, i didn't notice that condition... here goes...
Dim index As int = -1
if strsearchvalue.Length > 0 Then
index = Me.BoltypeBindingSource.Find(strcolumn, strsearchvalue)
End If
If index >= 0 Then
Me.BoltypeBindingSource.Position = index
Else
MessageBox.Show("Not Found!")
End If
