Hello,

I am trying to match data within a dataset on a SQL database with text in a input box.  the user types in a job number then it should search through all jobs in the datatable for a match, when it finds a match i pull specific fields and add them to a list. i then make the list the datasource for a DGV. I believe my loop is wrong as i can see the DGV has the proper headers based on my list. the list is just empty.

I have very limited experience messing with databases and tables. so im just not sure if im accessing it correctly.

**EDIT**

I figured out that i had 2 seperate connections and i was accessing the wrong one. but now with the same code, accessing the proper connection, i can get a row displayed. but only 1 it wont let me do another row. any insight?
