In this tutorial, I will teach you how to create a simple search based on radiobutton using c# and mysql database. This method has the ability to select one option from a group that is used to control the data, then it will be displayed in the datagriview. Follow the step by step guide to see how it works.

Creating Application

Step 1

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and create a new windows form application for c#. ps1

Step 2

Do the form just like shown below. ps2

Step 3

Open the code editor by pressing the F7 on the keyboard. In the code editor, add a namespace to access MySQL Libraries.

using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;

Step 4

Create a connection between C# and MySQL Database. After that, declare all the classes that are needed.

        MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("server=localhost;user id=root;password=;database=profile;sslMode=none");
        MySqlCommand cmd;
        MySqlDataAdapter da;
        DataTable dt;
        string sql;

Step 5

Create a method for retrieving data in the database and it will be displayed inside the datagridview.

 
        private void LoadData(string sql,DataGridView dtg)
        {
            try
            {
                con.Open();
 
                cmd = new MySqlCommand();
                da = new MySqlDataAdapter();
                dt = new DataTable();
 
                cmd.Connection = con;
                cmd.CommandText = sql;
 
                da.SelectCommand = cmd;
                da.Fill(dt);
 
                dtg.DataSource = dt;
 
 
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                con.Close();
                da.Dispose();
            }
        } 

Step 6

Write the following code for retrieving data in the database in the first load of the form.

 
 private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            sql = "SELECT * FROM `profile`";
            LoadData(sql, dataGridView1);
        }

Step 7

Write this code for finding data in the database.

 
        private void rdoFemale_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            sql = "SELECT * FROM `profile` WHERE `gender`='" + rdoFemale.Text + "'";
            LoadData(sql, dataGridView1);
        }
        private void rdoMale_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            sql = "SELECT * FROM `profile` WHERE `gender`='" + rdoMale.Text + "'";
            LoadData(sql, dataGridView1);
        }
