Hello:

I have a textbox that searches a gridview. When I clear the results from a search and do another search, the results from the previous search shows. LastNameSearch is the textbox that searches the GridView.

    protected void GridSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        BindGridView1();
    }
    protected void GridSearchClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridView1.DataSource = null;
        LastNameSearch.Text = "";
    }

<asp:Button ID="GridSearch" Text="Search" runat="server" onclick="GridSearch_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="GridSearchClear" Text="Clear" runat="server" onclick="SearchClear_Click" />

Hi RecipeDan,

I'd suggest to look into BindGridView1(); method. You might have cached the search result somewhere and on PageLoad you might be binding it to the GridView again.

Regards,
Chinmay.

call databind after setting null,

    GridView1.DataSource = null;
        GridView1.DataBind();

It is on page load, postback is just a check you perform to identify if the page is loading again in response of a user action or not. So I'd suggest you check on Page Load first.

Copy paste content of the Page_Load here so I can have a good look at it.

It works but it lists all records in the temporary table. If I type David the record for David should show. Then I press Clear and type Sam. Sam's record should show.

That is not happening in my original question. For example, I would type David and David's record lists. then I press clear and type Sam. David's record would still show.

Hi RecipeDan,

"..then I press clear"
does the grid clears on this action ?

" David's record would still show "
Your retrieval query might have issue .

Try this, It has search option and do the clear part well .
