We report a search for the rare decays B{sup +}{yields}D{sup +}K{sup 0} and B{sup +}{yields}D{sup +}K{sup *0} in an event sample of approximately 465x10{sup 6} BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We find no significant evidence for either mode and we set 90% probability upper limits on the branching fractions of B(B{sup +}{yields}D{sup +}K{sup 0})<2.9x10{sup -6} and B(B{sup +}{yields}D{sup +}K{sup *0})<3.0x10{sup -6}.
