I have a list of class
How can I filter on some condition..I am applying following it is working when value gets exact match
Dim result = obj.OfType(Of clsEmrItmMstr)().Where(Function(s) s.GenName Like txtserach.Text)
grddetails.DataSource = result
grddetails.DataBind()
where "clsEmrItmMstr" is my class name and "GenName" is field in class
Instead of the Like operator you could simply use String.Contains:
Dim result = obj.OfType(Of clsEmrItmMstr)().
Where(Function(s) s.GenName.Contains(txtserach.Text))
With Like you need * as wildcard, so this should work:
Dim result = obj.OfType(Of clsEmrItmMstr)().
Where(Function(s) s.GenName Like String.Format("*{0}*", txtserach.Text))
(assuming that you want to find all objects where the GenName contains the text entered in the TextBox)
You can use Contains function
Dim result As dynamic = obj.OfType(Of clsEmrItmMstr)().Where(Function(s) s.GenName.Contains(txtserach.Text))
grddetails.DataSource = result
grddetails.DataBind()
