Answer 1

Consider these notes:

• You've put the column name between '' which makes it as a string literal.

• Use [] around column name if it's a complex name.

• To compare an integer column with LIKE operator, you should first convert it to string because LIKE is an string operator.

• Also make sure your column name is Courier # and it's not the caption/header text.

Example

dataView.RowFilter = "Convert([Some Column], System.String) LIKE '12%'";
