Hey Kartik, If you have a huge amount of data loaded in datagridview then this problem occurs. For that, you can use background-worker control or use the async method.

Hello Amit Sir, This is what I exactly want. The code is working for me after some modifications. But sometimes it will hang the application when I perform Find or Find Next operation.
