You can scan through the rows with a For Each, then scroll to the row (if found). An example is

For Each row As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows
    If row.Cells(1).Value = txtName.Text Then
        row.Selected = True
        DataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = row.Index
        Exit For
    End If
Next

abdalqader.abdelhalem according to your post you are using ms access to fill the datagridview, I will assume (and I hate to do that) you are filling a datatable and using it as the source for the DataGridView. Why not query the datatable for your string using LINQ. If the data you are searching for is in a single column of the table it is very easy and fast to get the row number.
