How to implement Find and Find Next functionality in DataGridView in c# win forms ?

I have a datagridview of more than 1000 records. Here I have to find a particular word or number like Find and Find Next functionality in excel. Can someone provide me some sample code or help me with this problem.

Hey Kartik,

If you have a huge amount of data loaded in datagridview then this problem occurs. For that, you can use background-worker control or use the async method.

Hello Amit Sir,

This is what I exactly want. The code is working for me after some modifications. But sometimes it will hang the application when I perform Find or Find Next operation.

1. for (int row = DataGrid.CurrentRow.Index; row < DataGrid.Rows.Count; row++)
2. {
3. for (int col = 0; col < DataGrid.Columns.Count; col++)
4. {
5. if (DataGrid.Rows[row].Cells[col].Value.ToString() == your string to match)
6. {
7. // match here
8. }
9. if (maches)
10. {
11. break;
