Ian's SharePoint Blog -

Why does the Contacts Management Template show names starting with R in the results?

Someone asked this in the comments of a very only post and I can't see their email address so hopefully they see this answer.

I know the cause but I don't know why. The list of contacts is provided by a Data View web part which contains the following...

Editing the page with SharePoint Designer and changing the default value to something like ! will result in no contacts being displayed when the page is first loaded.

I have done this on the demo site http://www.wssdemo.com/application/contacts/default.aspx

I posted that question. I didn't think anyone would see it since the blog was so old. Thank you for the reply. Everything works great.

Question on ParameterBinding, when i used a textbox to filter the items in the data view through this: , the value returned is "SingleLine" instead of the value I entered in the textbox? It seems that the TextMode property of the Textbox is being returned instead of the Text property. What should I do to resolve this? Thanks.
