Hello Lee,

If you need to find records in a Column of C1Combo, you may use the FindString() or FindStringExact() methods of C1Combo but they will search the records contained in the Display Member column only.

To find the records in any Column of the Grid, you may try the following workaround :

 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ' Set the DataMode for C1Combo
        C1Combo1.DataMode = DataModeEnum.AddItem
        ' Populate the C1Combo with data
        C1Combo1.AddItemTitles("Value;Company")
        C1Combo1.DisplayMember = "Company"
        C1Combo1.ValueMember = "Value"
        C1Combo1.AddItem("10;ABC")
        C1Combo1.AddItem("11;IJK")
        C1Combo1.AddItem("12;DEF")
        C1Combo1.AddItem("13;PQR")
        C1Combo1.AddItem("14;XYZ")
     
    End Sub

    ' On the Click of Find Button – find the record specified in textbox1 & display it in textbox2
    Private Sub FindBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FindBtn.Click
        Dim dt As DataTable = DirectCast(C1Combo1.DataSource, DataTable)
        Dim dv As DataView = dt.DefaultView
        dv.Sort = "Company"           'specify the column name in which you want to search
        TextBox2.Text = dv.Find(TextBox1.Text)
    End Sub

Please refer to the attached sample for the implementation details.

Let me know if this works for you or not.

Hello Lee,

This is because when using the Sort property on Company Column, I have not specified the order in which to sort the data in the DataView & by default the sort order is ascending, so it is sorting the data in the Company Column in ascending order & displaying the result accordingly.

Since you have changed the data to descending order, you can specify the sorting order in the Sort property of the DataView & the Find method will display the result accordingly.

Here is what you can do :

dv.Sort = "Company DESC"

Hope this helps.
