asp.net vb 2008: searching in grid results
<p>We have a client who wants the following:</p>

<ol>
<li>display all equipment in a grid</li>
<li>when entering a search string in two textboxes which target different columns, automatically search on either entered string</li>
<li>grid holds approximately 5000 items and must be paged and header-sortable</li>
</ol>

<p>I have just made the very unwelcome discovery that the FindItemWithText method is not available in an ASP Listview.</p>

<p>QUESTIONS:</p>

<p>What is the best data container to use to enable this kind of searching?</p>

<p>How can it be implemented?</p>

<p>THANKS</p>
