Hi,
Im using Rad ListView in my application and everything was going great until I decided to add search functionality, the search was a success and it displays the records founded the problem is if the found records were in different pages see what happens once I go to another page is that it cancels the search somehow and it reloads all the original records
this is my ListView

<telerik:RadListView ID="packageListView" runat="server"

DataKeyNames="PackageID"

ItemPlaceholderID="PackageContainer" AllowPaging="True"

OnItemCommand="packageListView_ItemCommand" OnNeedDataSource="packageListView_NeedDataSource">

and here is the code of my search Button click event handler

public void btn_Search_Click(object sendr, EventArgs e)

{

packageDBDataContext db = new packageDBDataContext();

var query = from contact in db.Packages

where contact.PackageName.Contains(txtSearch.Text.Trim())

select contact;

packageListView.DataBind();

}

Help please it is quite an annoying problem

Hi Rasha,

Please note that using DataBind() is not recommended. Performing complex listview operations such as Inserting, Deleting, Updating, Paging, Sorting, Filtering require accommodating appropriate database operations. Therefore, we suggest you to avoid Simple Databinding and strongly recommend the use of more advanced databinding methods, which automatically handle the aforementioned functions: Declarative DataSource or Advanced Data Binding:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/listview-simple-vs-advanced-binding.html

Additionally, you can check out the following examples for implementing the requested approach:

Hope this helps.
