.net - Multiple Column Filtering With BindingListView -

i using bindinglistview dll located @ http://blw.sourceforge.net/ enable sorting of datagridview generic list it's datasource. read filtering , simple utilize i'm having issues trying figure out how utilize multiple search parameters filter. here example...

private sub txtprojectnumber_textchanged(sender object, e system.eventargs) handles txtprojectnumber.textchanged, txtdescription.textchanged, txtoraclenumber.textchanged, txtbudgetyearfrom.textchanged, txtbudgetyearto.textchanged, txtweek3start.textchanged, txtweek3end.textchanged view.applyfilter(addressof filterdata) end sub private function filterdata(byval projectdetails projectdetails) boolean seek if not string.isnullorwhitespace(txtprojectnumber.text) homecoming projectdetails.projectnum.tolower().startswith(txtprojectnumber.text.tolower()) end if if not string.isnullorwhitespace(txtdescription.text) homecoming projectdetails.description.tolower().startswith(txtdescription.text.tolower()) end if grab ex exception messagebox.show(ex.message, "error", messageboxbuttons.ok, messageboxicon.error) end seek homecoming false end function

so here can see if alter text in txtprojectnumber textbox filter homecoming right results. if put, "x" in txtprojectnumber textbox , want search txtdescription of "morning", txtdescription ignored because hits txtprojectnumber , returned, never hitting txtdescription textbox. how can go on way down, building filter each non-empty input?

you need homecoming boolean based on test, not returning object rather multiple returns set conditions in if/andalso statement , homecoming true if conditions met.

private function filterdata(byval projectdetails projectdetails) boolean dim result boolean = false if projectdetails.projectnum.tolower().startswith(txtprojectnumber.text.tolower()) andalso _ projectdetails.description.tolower().startswith(txtdescription.text.tolower()) andalso _ <remaining tests> result = true end if homecoming result end function
