Santosh Kumar · Answer

The code in 1 shows the search code. First, it calls a DataHelper (DAL) search method to find any matches in the database table for the search text. If any matches are found, it uses a Regex. Replace to wrap each instance of the search text in an HTML SPAN tag which highlights the finds. 1> DataHelper hlpr = new DataHelper ( AppWrapper .DBConnection); DataTable dt = hlpr.SearchFAQs(searchString); if (dt.Rows.Count > 0) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder (); foreach ( DataRow dr in dt.Rows) { string coloredSearchString = string .Format( " {0} " , searchString); string question = NullableTypeHelper .NullSafeToString(dr[ "Question" ]); string answer = NullableTypeHelper .NullSafeToString(dr[ "Answer" ]); // create regex replace pattern and make it safe by escaping it string searchPattern = string .Format( "(? {0})" , searchString); string replacePattern = " ${find} " ; // color the searched for text yellow in question and answer question = Regex .Replace(question, searchPattern, replacePattern, RegexOptions .IgnoreCase); answer = Regex .Replace(answer, searchPattern, replacePattern, RegexOptions .IgnoreCase); string concat = string .Format( " {0} {1} " , question, answer); sb.Append(concat); } // foreach litSearchAnswers.Text=sb.ToString(); } // if else { litSearchAnswers.Text = GetLocalResourceObject( "MsgNotFound" ).ToString(); } // else 2> What steps do I follow before sending a message to my contact list ? 1.
