Client Side Filtering

[Gaurav]

hi all,

well i have a question, i am using a telerik RadGrid to bind the data from the server end and i need the filter that data on the client end without hitting the server again i.e. without getting the data back from database.

i know it is possible with using columns and binding the data back with GridBoundColumn but my problem is that i am using ItemTemplate within which i am creating the table to make it look just like my client needs, so is it possible to filter the data in the ItemTemplate without columns(gridboundcolumns).

i hope i make sense out of it.

Thanks in advance, 

waiting for the possible solution asap.

Hello Gaurav,

Since you are binding the grid from server side , the control will be rebound once the data is filtered and the call to the server will be raised. In order to filter template columns, you can set the DataField property. Here is the sample code.
aspx:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id">
    <ItemTemplate>
      <%# Eval("Id")%>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello Gaurav,

Generally, Filtering is a complex grid operation which requires accommodating appropriate database operations when it is performed. Therefore, it  is a more advanced feature that needs binding to your DataSource every time you filter a given column.

It is possible to fire a grid filter command from the client side using the Column's UniqueName. This approach is described and demonstrated with examples in the following article:
