VB.Net, ListView find

ListView find

I have a list view that has 5 columns in it (shown in detail mode). I want
to allow the user to type in a name, and then I want to search the list for
that particular name. What is the easiest/best way to do that?

I tried the lstboard.items.contains, but I can't get that to work.

So, for example:

Code Name Phone Fax Zone
0001 Bob 123-1234 123-1235 XYZ
0002 Carl 132-3452 152-6454 ABC

The user could type Car and it would automatically find, and highlight the
line that has 0002 Carl on it.

Hi there,

There is no "Find" method in the listview control - the best way would be to
just loop through your list of items and search for the text you are looking
for.
