Adding template to FilterTemplate Programmatically

[Ricky]

Hello Anyone,
I guess i am missing something here. I have created an ITemplate as below and adding it to the FilterTemplate of one of the column of RadGrid. 

public class cblItemTemplate : ITemplate
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Create the template
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="container"></param>
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        Panel pnl = new Panel();

        //checkbox
        CheckBoxList cbl = new CheckBoxList();
        cbl.ID = "cblCounty";
        cbl.AutoPostBack = false;
        cbl.DataBinding += cbl_DataBinding;

        //button
        Button btn = new Button();
        btn.ID = "btnApply";
        btn.Text = "Apply";

        //button
        Button btnClear = new Button();
        btnClear.ID = "btnClear";
        btnClear.Text = "Clear";

        pnl.Controls.Add(cbl);
        pnl.Controls.Add(btn);
        pnl.Controls.Add(btnClear);

        container.Controls.Add(pnl);
    }

    void cbl_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CheckBoxList cbl = (CheckBoxList)sender;
        cbl.Items.Add(new ListItem("County1"));
        cbl.Items.Add(new ListItem("County2"));
    }
}

On first load, i see the template added to the column. But when i click on the Apply button, the template vanishes; i do not see it. I am adding the template on the ColumnCreated event of the radgrid as below:

protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
{
     if (col.UniqueName == "county")
     {
           var cbl = new cblItemTemplate();
           col.FilterTemplate = cbl;
     }
}

Can someone please let me know where i am going wrong? Do i need to add the filtertemplate in a different event?

I guess i also need to know how do i bind an event to button where i can rebind the grid with the FilterExpression. Any help is much appreciated!

Hello Ricky,

I've created a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate how you can modify the filter cell of a given column programmatically. This is the recommended way instead of creating dynamic FilterTemplate. Please run the attached application and let me know if it helps you.

Hi Eyup,

Can you please provide a VB version of the attachment? I tried converting but somethings not right. 

Thank you.
