try like this



if (row.Cells["Case Name"].Value.Contains("TFT"))

<div>
It says object does not contain a definition for Contains. Also, I don't see it as an option after:<br />
<br />
if (row.Cells[&quot;Case Name&quot;].Value.
</div>

I am trying to see if a cell inside my DataGridViewRow contains a certain word -- &quot;TFT&quot;.<br />

if (row.Cells[&quot;Case Name&quot;].Value.Equals(&quot;TFT&quot;)<wbr />) // works great at checking if it equals the word I'm looking for, but I need to check for &quot;contains&quot; not &quot;equals&quot;. How would I go about doing that?<br />

The equivalent of what I'm looking for in SQL would be: WHERE CaseName like '%TFT%'

C# DataGridViewRow

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
