BindingSource.Find Question

[Alexander Loose]

Hello,

I am using the BindingSource.Find-Methode to find an Item in my
BindingSource. This works fine to find the exact pattern, but now I
search for a fuzzy finding method.

For example:

XXX34234234
DDD4324543
HAM5454545
MUC6456566

I want to do a fuzzy search for "HAM" .

therefore I sort the bindingsource and the I perform the
BindingSource.Find Method.
I also tried it with * or % patterns.

Does anyone know a way to do fuzzy/unexact find/search operations in a
BindingSource

Best regards from Germany

Unfortunatley, there is nothing like the old 'seek' method. So, depending on
how many records are in your source, either linear search for the first '>='
or code a binary search. Also, I would sugest using the underlying
'DataView' to do the search.
