RadDataFilter Save/Restore

[Richard Harrigan]

Hi,

Is the information at the following link the recommended way of saving and restoring RadDataFIlter?  Is there a easier and/or  better way?

Thanks

Hello,

 Other possible approach will be to use separate classes to serialize the filters similar to this RadGriView demo:

Hi

Your example was for RadGridView not RadDataFilter.  Is it missing anything I might need to implement for RadDataFilter.

Thanks

Hi,

 Indeed the example is for RadGridView however you can use the same approach. 

All the best,

Hi
The link for the grid view save loda example now leads to the demo's main screen and I didn't see any example that might be the same.
Can you update for a new example (if there's anything more relevant to radDataFilter it would be better of course)
I know this is the silverlight forum but I need to save and load filter in a wpf project with radDataFilter, so if there's anything I should consider please tell me so I can post a question in the wpf forum.
thanks

Hello,

As for saving and loading the filter criteria with RadDataFilter, you will have to manually go over RadDataFilter.FilterDescriptors collection and save the object graph into format that you can save to your storage. Then you can parse this saved data and restore the FilterDescriptors back.  

The way to read though the FilterDescriptors collection and then restore it would be as demonstrated on this online demo.
