Import .dbf data to gridview

 System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection oConn = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection();
        Con.ConnectionString = @"Driver={Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)};SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=D:\Sample\;Exclusive=No; Collate=Machine;NULL=NO;DELETED=NO;BACKGROUNDFETCH=NO;";
        Con.Open();
        System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand oCmd = oConn.CreateCommand();
        oCmd.CommandText = @"SELECT * FROM D:\Sample\IndiaDB\FileName.dbf";
        DataTable dat = new DataTable();
        dat.Load(oCmd.ExecuteReader());
        Con.Close();
     
        GridView1.DataSource = dat;
        GridView1.DataBind();


To import this data to SQL table, create a table with sample field and use this code...
 DataTableReader reader = dt.CreateDataReader();

          myConnection.Open();   ///this is my connection to the sql server
          SqlBulkCopy sqlcpy = new SqlBulkCopy(myConnection);

          sqlcpy.DestinationTableName = "YourTable";  //copy the datatable to the sql table

          sqlcpy.WriteToServer(dt);

          myConnection.Close();

Highlight Search Keyword in datalist

When you are displaying search result in datalist, if you highlight seach keyword,it will be easy for user user.

Use thisfunction to highlight search term.

protected string HighlightText(string searchWord, string inputText)

        {
            Regex expression = new Regex(searchWord.Replace(" ", "|"), RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
            return expression.Replace(inputText, new MatchEvaluator(ReplaceKeywords));
        }
        return inputText;
    }

    public string ReplaceKeywords(Match m)
    {

        return  "" + m.Value + "";

 add this to Auto Complete extender :

  
                    CompletionListCssClass="AutoExtender" CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass="AutoExtenderHighlight" CompletionListItemCssClass=".AutoExtenderList"
 runat="server" TargetControlID="txtSearch"  ServicePath="AutoComplete.asmx" OnClientItemSelected=" GetCode"  ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"
                    

CSS:

.AutoExtender
        {
            font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
            font-size: .8em;
margin:0px;
            font-weight: normal;
            border:solid 1px #006699;

            line-height:20px;
            padding:0px;
            background-color:White;

To enable OnClientItemSelected write this script:

Place one hiddenfield and call the event in script

• function GetCode(source, eventArgs) {
  
       $get('<%=this.HiddenField1.ClientID%>').value = eventArgs.get_value();
       $get('<%=this.ImageButton1.ClientID%>').click();
