[Solved] Filter Values lost on post back when EnableColumnsViewState is false

[Randy]

I am trying to use the built in filtering in a grid that I am building dynamically.  Everything works fine as long as the EnableColumnsViewState is true.  When this value is false, and I am filtering on multiple columns, the Filter Values are not being retained on postback.   Just the last filter is re-displayed.  The grid is still being filtered correctly because I have implemented custom filtering using a FilteredDataset. How can I get around this issue?  I need to disable column viewstate due to other problems I encountered.

Hi Randy,

From what I understand RadGrid requires the column ViewState to be enabled for managing the Grid filtering. Telerik has also mentioned that in one of the help article.

Thanks.   That makes sense.  Do you know if I can manually set the filter value so it is displayed on postback?  I am using custom filtering (Filtered Dataset) and I have all of the filters values already stored in viewstate in an object that I am managing.  At what point (or what event) can I tap into that will allow me to set the the filtervalue when the grid is being rendered. 

thanks, Randy
