Datagrid Search C#

[.netidiot]

Hi, I have been using asp.net for a short period of time now and really enjoy the functionality offered by visual studio. However I see there is no automated way of generating a search of a datagrid. What i want to do is simple take the string from a textbot when the search button is pressed and either highlight the matches in the datagrid or to regenerate the datagrid displaying the matches. I want to search only on column which will be the resource name. I have looked throug many threads and there have been a few solutions but they all seem to be in VB.NET. As I have only ever used C# I am terrified by this code! If anyone would be so kind to either link me to a page with C# code for searching a datagrid or to perhaps post some code of their own it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

add below code in aspx.cs

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        
        dg.DataSource = SqlDataSource1;
        dg.DataBind();
        Panel1.Controls.Add(dg);
    }
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (DataGridItem dgi in dg.Items)
        {
            if (dgi.Cells[0].Text == TextBox1.Text)
            {
                for(int i=0;i<dgi.Cells.Count;i++)
                dgi.Cells[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Beige;
            }
        }
    }
}

            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks, when i paste code however it says Paenl1 does not exist in current context. Could you explain what panel1 is ?
thanks!

Nevermind Ive added a Panel from the toolbar and placed all contents of the page inside the panel. Is this correct?

Ok i have disabled callbacks and selecting but now when i launch the page it simply display two copys of my datagrid and the search appears to do nothing.

In the code I pasted above, the DataGrid was added dynamically, and therefore need to be put either on a Panel or directly on the page.

DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    { 
        dg.DataSource = SqlDataSource1;
        dg.DataBind();
//Here you add to Panel1
        [B]Panel1.Controls.Add(dg);[/B]
//Or You can directly add to page as below
       [B] //Page.Controls.Add(dg); [/B]
    }

You just need to put a Panel on the page. And dynamically add the DataGrid on runtime.
Therefore you need not add any controls Manually on to the Panel.
