Hey im still new to VB.NET, but I have code that works as follows below. Performs a search depending on the field specified in the dropdown. However, I am looking for a way for it to find duplicate records from the field specified, and then list them in a listbox if any are found. The user will then double click the correct one and then it will be selected. I guess the first step is me asking what I should 1st start with. How can I perform duplicate checking? Any tips, pointers, examples appreciated. Thanks

VB.NET:
    Private Sub Button9_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button9.Click
        Dim intposition As Integer
        Select Case SearchBYBox.SelectedIndex

            Case 0
                objDataview.Sort = "LastName"
            Case 1
                objDataview.Sort = "FullName"
            Case 2
                objDataview.Sort = "StudentID"

        End Select

        intposition = objDataview.Find(SearchBox.Text)

        If intposition = -1 Then
            StatusBar1.Text = "Record Not Found."

        Else
            StatusBar1.Text = "Record Found."
            sspanelSearch.Visible = False
            SearchBox.Text = ""

            objcurrencyManager.Position = intposition
        End If
        Showposition()


    End Sub
