which column in a datarow?

Hi,
I finally got a search in a datatable working (so that I can type "p", and
the first row with data beginning with a p is highlighted). I use this:
string searchThis = "p";
DataRow[] dr = tCat.Select("Customer LIKE'" + searchThis + "*'");
My problem is that I need to specify which column to search in. The way it
is now, if something starts with a p in the first column, it will highlight
the row. (I need to search one of four columns.) Is there any way to
determine which column the matched string was found in?
Thanks again so much!

The Select function does a search on a column. It's very similar to the
'WHERE' clause in your select statement.

So should this be enough to say to search in the column called Customer?

DataRow[] dr = tCat.Select("Customer LIKE'" + searchThis + "*'","Customer
ASC");

Thanks again,

Yes, take a look at MSDN for DataTable.Select.
