Using DataFilter without Sourcing from GRID

[Deepak]

Hi There,

we are planning to use "RADDataFilter" only as the UI to provide Search criteria and then use those criteria's as an input to sql procedure and search against the database. so to do this we need to get the criteria's entered by the user from DataFilter.
i checked properties of the DataFilter ,but could not get any which provides the information. 

Any help/comments would be appreciated.

Regards
Deepak

Hello Deepak,

 If you would like to use the RadDataFilter for the UI only, then this help article would be helpful.

 RadDataFilter will be used as UI to filter the data, but the filtering itself will be done outside the RadDataFilter via manipulation of FilterDescriptor objects. You could find the information about the search criteria using the FilterDescriptors.
