For anyone who is having this issue. This code below fixed the issue:

protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DS.SelectCommand = 
      "SELECT ReportName, ReportType, 
       FROM Table 
       WHERE ReportName LIKE @param 
       ORDER BY ReportType Desc";
   DS.SelectParameters.Add("Param", searchTxtBox.Text.Replace("'", "''"));
   DS.DataBind();
   ListView1.DataBind();               
}
