Filter Grid from a public property that comes from a controll

[Nikola]

I have a public property witch looks like this

public string SelectedCountry
{
get { return this.cmbCountry.SelectedValue; }
}

Where i receive what the user has selected in the RadComboBox.

Now I want to filter my gird by this selected value how can I do this ?

On the gird page I prepared method like this witch is triggered when the user clicks on a button (apply filter)

protected void Af_FilterButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
jobFilter.SelectedCountry.Where() //jobFilter is my custom control
}

I thought that I have to do something like this ?Thanks for help and fast answer !

Hi Nikola,

In order to filter the gird you can use one of the below listed techniques.

• If the grid uses advanced data-binding you can filter the data source using the selected country prior to passing it to the grid.
• One can create a filter expression manually as explained in this help article.
• If the grid has enabled filtering you can try firing a filter command as shown below

  GridFilteringItem filterItem = (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem)[0] as GridFilteringItem);
         RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("ColumnUniqueName").CurrentFilterValue = "Company10";
         filterItem.FireCommandEvent("Filter", new Pair("EqualTo", "ColumnUniqueName"));
