Binding source filtering

Question

Hope you can help me with this.

I'd like to filter my datagridview by using a certain keyword like a name for example. I used a data set then bind it to a data source then to my datagridview for viewing.

When I used the bindingsource.filter I can't get any result.

Here is my code:

    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim bs As New BindingSource

    Dim sql As String = "SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dbo.DimCustomer"
    Dim connection As New SqlConnection(sqlconnectionstring)
    Dim dataadapter As New SqlDataAdapter(sql, connection)



    connection.Open()
    ds.Clear()
    dataadapter.Fill(ds, "Customer")
    connection.Close()


    bs.DataSource = ds

    dgv1.DataSource = bs
    dgv1.DataMember = "Customer"
    bs.Filter = "FirstName = 'Jon'"

Answer 1

Thank you guys for the help but I got it working with the following codes below:

Dim sql As String = "select * from HumanResources.vEmployee"
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(sqlconnectionstring)
Dim dataadapter As New SqlDataAdapter(sql, connection)
Dim dsView As New DataView()

Try
  connection.Open()
  ds.Clear()
  dataadapter.Fill(ds, "test")
  dsView = ds.Tables(0).DefaultView
  bs.DataSource = dsView
  dgv1.DataSource = bs
  bs.Filter = "FirstName like 'J%'"
Catch ex As Exception
  MessageBox.Show("Error while connecting to SQL Server." & ex.Message)
Finally
  connection.Close()
End Try
