I am unable to get Data into my dataGridView

I ran the SQL Query in SQL Server Management Studio and it worked.

Here is my code

    private void buttonRunQuery_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
         if (connection == null)
         {
             connection = ConnectionStateToSQLServer();
             SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(null, connection);
             command = createSQLQuery(command);
             dataGridView1.DataSource = GetData(command);
         }
         else
         {
             SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(null, connection);
             command = createSQLQuery(command);
             dataGridView1.DataSource = GetData(command);
         }
     }

    private SqlCommand createSQLQuery(SqlCommand command)
     {
         string[] allTheseWords;
         if (textBoxAllTheseWords.Text.Length > 0)
         {
             allTheseWords = textBoxAllTheseWords.Text.Split(' ');
             string SQLQuery = "SELECT distinct [database].[dbo].[customerTable].[name], [database].[dbo].[customerTable].[dos], [database].[dbo].[customerTable].[accountID], [database].[dbo].[reportTable].[customerID], [database].[dbo].[reportTable].[accountID], [database].[dbo].[reportTable].[fullreport] FROM [database].[dbo].[reportTable], [database].[dbo].[customerTable] WHERE ";
             int i = 1;
             foreach (string word in allTheseWords)
             {
                 var name = "@word" + (i++).ToString();
                 command.Parameters.AddWithValue(name, "'%" + word "%'");
                 SQLQuery = SQLQuery + String.Format(" [database].[dbo].[reportTable].[fullreport] LIKE {0} AND ", name);
             }
             SQLQuery = SQLQuery + " [database].[dbo].[customerTable].[accountID] = [database].[dbo].[reportTable].[accountID]";
             command.CommandText = SQLQuery;
         }
         MessageBox.Show(command.CommandText.ToString());
         return command;
     }

    public DataTable GetData(SqlCommand cmd)
     {
         //SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connString);
         //SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlcmdString, cn);
         SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
         connection.Open();
         DataTable dt = new DataTable();
         da.Fill(dt);
         connection.Close();
         return dt;
     }

No error is given by VS2012 and no data is presented in my DataGridView

Any suggestions?

I saw this website and it didn't really help

I am using an SQL Server 2012

The updated Query brings 1 single result in the SQL Server Management Studio (which is expected). The same query does not produce any rows in my datagrid.

I can't figure out whats going on? Do I need to bind anything using the GUI for VS2012?

I notice you're doing a LIKE search, but when you're adding your parameters, you're not using "%". Try adding this:

command.Parameters.AddWithValue(name, "%" + word +"%");

Hope this helps.

BTW -- The DataBind method is not used in win forms for gridviews, just in web forms.

Good luck.

You should call method DataBind() on your DataGrid to actually bind data from the data source to the grid.

dataGridView1.DataBind();
