    Thanks! Another question, using the code mentioned, how you set filtering to disregard case-sensitivity? I tried adding the line:

    RadFileExplorer1.Grid.GroupingSettings.CaseSensitive = false;

    on page load but it doesn't work.

    Hi Philip,

    The actual filtering is performed manually in the ExplorerPopulated event and you need to implement case insensitive comparison manually. An example implementation is to pass a second parameter StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase to the comparison methods. The required changes are highlighted in the code snipped bellow:
    switch (gridKnownFunction)
    {
        case GridKnownFunction.StartsWith:
            {
                e.List = e.List.FindAll(fi => fi.Name.StartsWith(filterText, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)).ToList();
            }; break;
        case GridKnownFunction.EndsWith:
            {
                e.List = e.List.FindAll(fi => fi.Name.EndsWith(filterText, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)).ToList();
            }; break;
        case GridKnownFunction.Contains:
            {
                e.List = e.List.FindAll(fi => fi.Name.ToLower().Contains(filterText.ToLower())).ToList();
            }; break;
    }
