The control will expose a fluent-like server-side API which can be used to specify filter expression in the following manner:   listView.FilterExpressions.BuildExpression() .GreaterThanOrEqualTo("OrderDate", DateTime.Parse("7/5/1996")) .And() .Group(group => group.EqualTo("ShipCountry", "Germany") .Or().EqualTo("ShipCountry", "France") ...
