I have a textbox that I want to make into a search bar. My table has an int "id" and varchar(50) "name". I want to search for either the name or the id in the same textbox. Is that even possible? I've tried many things but haven't gotten to a solution yet.
Here's what I have:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:New_QuickBooksConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Testing1]" FilterExpression="([id] = {0}) OR ([name] LIKE '%(CAST {0} AS VARCHAR(50))%')">
<FilterParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox1" Name="id" PropertyName="Text" Type="int32" />
</FilterParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
This just returns the id when I type in a number. It doesn't work for name. What can I do?
Try changing the
type = "String"
and convert ID toString
, likeCONVERT([Id],'System.String') like '{0}'
