dotnet windows forms databinding:

I'm uisng a custom class to fuel my datasouce. I've draged the datasource
over in detail view and put in the

Me.CampersBindingSource.DataSource = oCampers

the data appears fine. now what I'm trying to figure out is how to wire the
textbox in the binding navigor toolstrip so that when I type something in, i
can get it to search through a "column" in my dataset and bring up that
info. can i have it search several columns??

Per Bart's suggestion.. i'm using this in my camper class

Public Class Campers

Inherits System.ComponentModel.BindingList(Of Camper)

to help out.. lets say i'm trying to filter on the property "LastName"

I tried

Private Sub ToolStripTextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripTextBox1.TextChanged

Me.CampersBindingSource.Filter = "LastName='Smith'"

End Sub

no luck

thanks for any help

Try something like a movefirst or databind method to refresh the form view

try this:
Me.PaymentPlanBindingSource.RemoveFilter()
If Not Me.ToolStripTextBox1.Text Is Nothing Then

Me.PaymentPlanBindingSource.Filter = "planame Like " & "'*" &
Me.ToolStripTextBox1.Text & "*'"

Me.PaymentPlanBindingSource.MoveFirst()

End If
