Hi guys,
I have found this article http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/gridview-how-to-create-external-filtering.html
which explains how to do nice external custom search on all the columns of the grid.
In that example it is convenient that all of the columns are strings which makes the problem a little bit easier.
In my code most of the columns are strings but I also have some that are DateTime, enums (status fields), and integers.
I know how to exclude these columns from participating in the search but that is not acceptable solution. I need to be able to search all the columns regardless of the input.
Is there a way to set all of the columns to be of type:String for filtering function (but for sorting they need to be of the correct type DateTime, int, etc)?
Any suggestion on how to solve my problem are helpful.
Thanks,
