types a code ->select the database/dataset/datatable(This depends on your needs) to search you need->bind datagridview again.If you do not wish to refresh,you can use ajax.dll. i am chinese,english is not my first language.so i can't speak in detail.Hope I express clearly

when user types a code number in the code Column...... description and price is automatically displayed let me see.yes ,i do not understand the message . Two kinds of situations 1: add a new textbox to input the code ,when the textbox change,the information display in the datagridview.of course,you said you want search the datagridview,so the datagridview is be filled at firt.datagridview's datasource usuall is datatable . you can write the code like this

    DataTable dt = ds.Table\[0\];
    DataView dv = dt.DefaultView;
    dv.RowFilter = "ID = '"+textBox1.Text+"'";   //
     dataGridView1.DataSource = dv;

2:I am a real jerk.I don't understand what you mean.If this is true.i am very sorry,but you could laugh whit me at my poor english.
