I would like to use a TextBoxor Label (item) inside of a Gridview. When field is clicked, I would like to display list of records that contain: - Item Name - Description - Price - Image - Add Button

It sounds to me like you are talking about having a "filter" option for your GridView.

If I'm reading your post correctly, you would like to be able to enter text into the TextBox and then filter the data within the GridView to show matching records. Below is some pseudo code that will hopefully help get you started...

FRONT END CODE

<asp:TextBox id="myBox" runat="server" OnTextChange="myBox_OnTextChange"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:GridView id="myGrid" runat="server">
    //COLUMN 1
    //COLUMN 2
    //IMAGE TO ADD
</asp:GridView>

CODE BEHIND

//THIS CODE IS NOT CORRECT EXAMPLE ONLY TO GET YOU STARTED
protected void myBox_OnTextChange(EventArgs e)
{
    if(!String.isNullorEmpty(this.myBox.Text))
    {
        //MyFunction will filter your datasource with the text box data and 
        //return a DataSet or DataTable or etc.....
        this.myGrid.DataSource = MyFunction(myBox.Text);
        this.myGrid.DataBind();
    }
}
