Not answered how can i attach a RadFilter to a RadGrid which is located in a user control

[rashad kabbara]

i have a RadGrid in a usercontrol.
i have an aspx page that contains the usercontrol and a RadFilter.
how can i assign the FilterContainerID of the RadFilter to the RadGrid?

i already tried to directly giving it the ID as such:

 

<telerik:RadFilter 

ID="rfCustomFilter" runat="server"FilterContainerID="RadGrid1"/>

and i have also tried to assign filterContainerID in code behind as such:
rfCustomFilter.FilterContainerID = "RadGrid1";

both did not work, and i get an error when Adding an expression:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Hi,

Indeed, you can try setting the FilterContainer property in the page code-behind for instance on Page_Load. But instead of hardcoding the grid ID as you did, try finding the RadGrid control and set the RadFilter property as below:

RadGrid myGrid = <YourUserControl>.FindControl("RadGrid1") as RadGrid;
rfCustomFilter.FilterContainer = myGrid;

I hope this helps.

it won't work since FilterContainer is read only and cannot be assigned to.
any other possible solutions?

What about setting the FilterContainerID like this:

RadGrid myGrid = <YourUserControl>.FindControl("RadGrid1") as RadGrid;
rfCustomFilter.FilterContainerID = myGrid.ID;

I am in the exact same predicament.  Has anyone figured out a solution or a workaround?
