Hi,

I get this error when I try to filter a string readonly property:

this is the grid definition:

 <TelerikGrid Data="@Inseriti" Height="100%" Class="fill-height"
                         Pageable="true" Sortable="true" Groupable="true"
                         PageSize=25 TotalCount="@Total"
                         OnRead=@ReadItems
                         FilterMode="Telerik.Blazor.GridFilterMode.FilterRow">
                <GridColumns>
                    <GridColumn Field="@(nameof(Card.Numero))" Title="Barcode" />
                    <GridColumn Field="@(nameof(Card.Cognome))" Title="Cognome" Groupable="false"/>
                </GridColumns>
            </TelerikGrid>

the Card is a EF class:

 public partial class Card
    {

      public int IdCard { get; set; }
        public int IdPatient { get; set; }

(accidentally posted before to complete)

   public string Cognome { get => this.Patient.Cognome; }

than the EF method:
  public async Task<IEnumerable<Card>> GetCards(DataSourceRequest request)
        {
            using (Context Db = new Context())
            {
                var list = from x in Db.Card
                        select x;

                var result = await list.ToDataSourceResultAsync(request);
                return result.Data as IEnumerable<Card>;
            }
        }

if I filter the Numero property (string) all works fine.

If I try to filter the Cognome property (string too) the eccor occurs.

UPDATE 2:

After further investigation I read about breaking changes in EF Core 3.0 preview 4 that disallow client-evaluation of query that cannot be propertly translate in SQL. For those interested read here .

Then in case of computed properties (as Telerik Blazor Knowledge Base suggests here Bind to navigation properties in complex objects and as I have done in the code above) it needs to use one of these solution mentioned here. 

But using Templates I should avoid the client-eval problem, so I change the following code:

 <GridColumn Field="@(nameof(Card.Patient.Cognome))" Title="Nome" Groupable="false">
       <Template>
        @((context as Card).Patient.Cognome)
       </Template>
 </GridColumn>

First of all, If I omit Field="@(nameof(Card.Patient.Cognome))" the app hang with this error:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key')

Otherwise, If I try to filter the field (with FilterRow option) I get another error:

I'm sorry for the long post and a bit confused, but I hope can help you to improve your product.
Thanks

Hi,

As the KB article you found states - at the moment only flat data models are supported. Nesting objects causes exceptions.

We had a spike of similar requests recently, so I have reopened the investigation into the ability to support nested (complex, navigation, or whatever else you may call them) models. Here's a link for a page you can Follow: https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1432615-support-for-nested-complex-models.

Marin Bratanov
