I made a dataSet with various tables.
I have a textBox in witch I would like to write for example a name of a
person and search through dataSet to see if there is someone with that name
and if there is put some more data about that person into grid.

Hrvoje,

You cannot search through a dataset. A column of a datatable is the highest
part you can in that.

For that you can use the
Dataview.rowfilter (very efficient)
Dataview.find
Datarowcollection.find
Datatable.select

I would start as I was you with creating a new dataview and use for that a
rowfilter that has the text from the textbox. That dataview is the
datasource of your datagrid.

I hope this helps?

why not derive off DataSet and create a searchable DataSet as required by
the business logic

just my 2 cents
