Enable Filter functionality on a columns binded with a converter.

[Juan]

Hello, I have the following scenario, where I need some columns where its displayed data comes from more than one property from the entity associated to the ItemSource of the grid view.

I have a Documents collection, and inside this, one document have two properties, CreationDate and CreatorUser, and I need to have this two pieces of information into one single column named "Creation" then, I used for this a converter that from the row data item takes this two properties and concatenates the string resulting from the two, the problem is that for this particular column there is no Filter icon, so the user is not able to filter by the information displayed in this column.

Is is possible to force the gridview to allow filter?

Thanks.

Juan

Hi Juan,

Filtering of columns in RadGridView is not allowed when they cannot determine an appropriate DataType. To enable it you may try setting it explicitly through the DataType property of GridViewBoundColumnBase.
