web app

protected function searchcustomer()     dim searchlist list(of prxcustomerwebservice1.customer)     dim objcustomerws new prxcustomerwebservice1.customerws      searchlist = cache("customerdata")     'arr = searchlist.toarray     if (ddlsearchspecs.text = "contains")         searchlist = objcustomerws.getcontains(tbsearch.text, ddlsearchfields.text, searchlist)     elseif (ddlsearchspecs.text = "starts with")         searchlist = objcustomerws.getstartswith(tbsearch.text, ddlsearchfields.text, searchlist)     else         searchlist = objcustomerws.getexact(tbsearch.text, ddlsearchfields.text, searchlist)     end if     if searchlist.count = 0         lmessage.text = "no customers found"     end if     return searchlist end function 

web method

<webmethod(description:="gets customers contain specific value")> _ public function getcontains(byval sstringcontains string, byval spropertyname string, byval olistofcustomers list(of customer))     olistofcustomers()     return customerfactory.getcontains(sstringcontains, spropertyname, olistofcustomers) end function
