I was just curious as to how the textbox + button search actually performs the search to fill up my gridviews, because I couldn’t see anywhere that causes the databounds or anything. Is it a post-back thing? How does it work?! o.o
<asp:TextBox ID="SearchBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="Search" />
Thanks heaps 🙂
There is no magic binding between a textbox called “searchbox” and a “submit” button in asp.net. The work has to be done somewhere and it’s probably just hidden away in some part of the project that you cannot easily find.
In this case, it seems like a normal postback is occurring and some logic in the code behind is interrogating the “SearchBox”‘s .Text property.
Just do a project wide search on SearchBox.Text, you should be able to find where the logic is.
