Question : .aspx.cs code for adding a textbox entry to "[contains(title, 'TextboxEntry']"

I have a project which has a Search textbox for the user to enter keyword(s) to retrieve from an
.xml page called rss.xml.  In the .aspx.cs page I was instructed to do this by declaring a
string (sTemp) and sTemp = "[contains(title, 'asp')]" for example.  However, I now need to replace the
'asp' with whatever the user inputs into the textbox.  I've attached the back code that I'm using.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string In = string.Empty;
            string SearchText =  txtSearch.Text;
            if (ddlSearchWhere.SelectedIndex == 0) -----this is from a dropdown list for the user to choose where they want their text searched----
                In  = "[contains(title,"+'txtSearch.Text')]";
            if (SearchText != null)
                SearchText = In;
                //In = "[contains(title, '" + SearchText;
            xmlDataSource1.DataFile = @"rss.xml";
            xmlDataSource1.XPath = @"rss/channel/item" + SearchText;// + sTemp;
            xmlDataSource1.DataBind();

            dtlDisplay.DataSource = xmlDataSource1;
            dtlDisplay.DataBind();

Answer : .aspx.cs code for adding a textbox entry to "[contains(title, 'TextboxEntry']"

Do you code compile?

If not one error can be found in the statement assigning to you "In" variable.
To be valid this should be: "[contains(title, '" + SearchText + "')]";

...but an even better alternative would be: "[contains(translate(title, 'ABCDEF...VWXYZ', 'abcdef...vwxyz') , '" + SearchText.ToLower() + "')]";
since this will make your search case insensitive.
