searching in List<> - c#-4.0

Question

i want to find value in List<> but i am not getting the integer value. Here is my code from that i want to find the value in the List
private void txtnapsaserach_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//decimal find = decimal.Parse(txtnapsaserach.Text);
if (decimal.Parse(txtnapsaserach.Text) > 0)
{
List<NapsaTable> _napsatabs = this.napsaTableBindingSource.List as List<NapsaTable>;
this.napsaTableBindingSource.DataSource =
_napsatabs.Where(p =>p.NapsaRate.Equals(txtnapsaserach.Text)).ToList();
}
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
}
}
any solution for me . Because this works for me when i try to find string value.

Answer 1

private void txtnapsaserach_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
float value;
if (!float.TryParse(txtnapsaserach.Text, out value))
return; // return if text cannot be parsed as float number
if (value > 0)
{
var napsatabs = napsaTableBindingSource.List as List<NapsaTable>;
napsaTableBindingSource.DataSource =
napsatabs.Where(p =>p.NapsaRate == value).ToList();
}
}
try this

Your p.NapsaRate is either integer type or floating point number, (probably decimal) Convert your txtnapsaserach.Text to decimal value and then compare it in where clause.
decimal rate = 0;
if(!decimal.TryParse(txtnapsaserach.Text), out rate)
{
//Invalid number in textbox
}
this.napsaTableBindingSource.DataSource =
_napsatabs.Where(p =>p.NapsaRate == rate)).ToList();
if p.NapsaRate is of type double or float you can parse them accordingly using Double.TryParse or Double.Parse etc
The reason you are not getting any error is that you are using object.Equals method for comparing decimal value with string. You should always use == for equality comparison of value types.
