Hello!
I'm trying to enable filtering on a column which is bound to a property of a object whose structure is something like this:
Portfolios:
- PortfolioInformationExtended:
- String
- PortfolioInformationExtended:
- String
- PortfolioInformationExtended:
- String
PortfolioInformationExtended is a sub-class of PortfolioInformation.
I have tried to be diligent in my reading of the documentation and have implemented IComparable<PortfolioInfoExtended>, IEquatable<PortfolioInfoExtended>, IComparable<String>, IEquatable<String> in the PortfolioInfoExtended-class as per instructions here on the forum and in the documentation.
I have successfully gotten the column to group (when I drag the header) but when I try to filter it I get the error message:
"No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection`1[MarketValueWeb.RateServiceReference.PortfolioInfo]' and MIQ.SilverlightExstenstion.Nordkap.PortfolioInfoExtended'.
The DataType property of this column is set to PortfolioInformation, and since the grouping works the operators seem to be working.
I am a bit confused by this and is wondering if I have missed some obvious step, or if everything seem to be in order. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I have investigated this further and realised that the problem lies in the fact that the itemSource the column is bound to is a collection of my objects and that the search function returns a single object.
If I implement a implicit operator between my class and my list, it seems to work. However, I don't get any "suggestions" (where you normally can click boxes). I have implemented ToString() on my object, but that does not seem to help.

Hello,

This error says that you try to use a value that is of diffident type than the column's values. If the actual type of the property is a ObservableCollection`1[MarketValueWeb.RateServiceReference.PortfolioInfo]' , then it cannot be treated as a PortfolioInfoExtended оr а string, because comparisons have to be made and those two types don't compare to each other out-of-the-box.
You should ensure the DataType of the bound data is the same as the DataType of the Value you set.
