Hello Anand,

You can use an IValueConverter on the column's DataMemberBinding in order to transform the raw enum value into the human-friendly value.

Thank you for the reply, can you please show me any sample code, as I am not fully understand the concept.

I have written code like this:

                        newCol.UniqueName = col.ColID
                        Dim customFilter As New CustomizedFilteringControl
                        newCol.FilteringControl = customFilter

'And the class CustomizedFilteringControl is like:


Public Class CustomizedFilteringControl
    Inherits FilteringControl
    Public Overrides Sub Prepare(ByVal column As GridViewBoundColumnBase)
        MyBase.Prepare(column)

        Dim availableOperators = New List(Of FilterOperator)(New FilterOperator() {FilterOperator.Contains, FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, FilterOperator.IsNotEqualTo, FilterOperator.StartsWith, FilterOperator.EndsWith, FilterOperator.DoesNotContain, FilterOperator.IsContainedIn})

        Dim cbo1 = Me.ChildrenOfType(Of RadComboBox)().Where(Function(b) b.Name = "PART_Filter1ComboBox").FirstOrDefault()
        cbo1.SelectedValue = availableOperators.FirstOrDefault()
        cbo1.ItemsSource = availableOperators

        Dim cbo2 = Me.ChildrenOfType(Of RadComboBox)().Where(Function(b) b.Name = "PART_Filter2ComboBox").FirstOrDefault()
        cbo2.SelectedValue = availableOperators.FirstOrDefault()
        cbo2.ItemsSource = availableOperators
    End Sub
End Class

Please help me. 
Thanking you for this.
