I am creating a simple program, I really need the code for this..here is my situation..

For example if I input a student no. in a textbox to perform search option then click the search button, I want to see the info of the said student to appear from the list of student in my datagrid..then if I click that particular row in the datagrid it will appear on a textbox..

I would really appreciate your help...thanks:)

There is no need to query the database multiple times for the same student record every time they click on an option.

Ardent, I would sugest starting by filling a DataTable with the (class) students you want to work with. Bind the Student Name to the DisplayMember of a Combobox and the StudentId to the ValueMember.

You can display the entire student table/records in a DataGridView (DGV) control with one line of code. When they select a student either from the ComboBox and/or a search TextBox, you can filter your DataTable (which you already have in memory) to display the selected record. Likewise when they double click on a record in the DGV you can bind the record fields right to there appropiate controls on a form for viewing/editing; without the need of re-querying the database or looping thru each record column to assign individual values to controls.
