RadGridView GridViewDataColumn DataFilter Number ContainedIn filtering

[Ravin]

Good afternoon,

 

I am trying to filter a column that is an Int32 type, and I want to supply a list of numbers to filter it similar to:

Collection<Int32>.Contains(Int32)

 

Ideally, I would like it being applied to the server side of a Linq query (using the QueryableDataServiceCollectionView<T>) class.

 

I see by default, the Is Contained In filter is not enabled or available for non-String types, but is there a way I can override of create a custom behavior to add this IFilterDescriptor (or maybe the IColumnFilterDescriptor contract is what I need to be looking for) to the list that shows up in the CompositeFilterDescriptor to be selected during run time?

 

I found the following post on our company blog: http://www.telerik.com/blogs/filtering-collection-properties-with-radgridview-for-silverlight-and-wpf, which illustrates the example of:

this.players.Where(player => player.FormerClubs.Contains(”Liverpool”));

 

What I need is something like:

(new List<Int32>() { 13, 45, 20 }).Contains(this.tableDto.PrimaryKeyCol);

 

In the instance of the value input into the box being "13,45,20".

Any idea on how I can go about setting this up?

 

Thanks,
Ravin
