Filtering not working

[Simon]

Hello,

I manually enter the text to be filtered in the textbox and click on the filter icon.

However, the same records are still displayed.

What is going wrong with my grid?

Here is the GridBoundColumn for the Lastname:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Driver.LastName"  DataType="System.String" HeaderText="Fahrer" UniqueName="DriverLastName"  AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="true" AllowFiltering="true"  >
                       </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

 

And here is the whole Radgrid:     

<telerik:RadGrid Height="100%" runat="server" ID="RadGrid1" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" AllowPaging="true" PageSize="12"
               Font-Size="Small" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Culture="de-DE" MasterTableView-CommandItemSettings-AddNewRecordText="Reisekostenerfassung"

Hi Simon,

The Column declaration you've shared is correct.

Assuming the binding is also correct. For example, having the following models:

class DriverModel
{
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}
class Order
{
    public int OrderID { get; set; }
    public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
    public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
    public DriverModel Driver { get; set; }
}

 

Binding a list of Orders to RadGrid:

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.DataSource = Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Select(o => new Order()
    {
        OrderID = o,
        OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddHours(o),
        ShipCountry = "Country " + o,
        Driver = new DriverModel()
        {
            LastName = "Driver " + o
        }
    }).ToList();
}

 

Using the same column you've showed us:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Driver.LastName" DataType="System.String" HeaderText="Fahrer" UniqueName="DriverLastName" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="true" AllowFiltering="true">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

 

Results:

 

If that is the case and the issue still persist, perhaps there are other issues.

1. Check out the Pro Tips part under the Debug JavaScript section of the Improve Your Debugging Skills with Chrome DevTools blog post. Ensure that there are no errors present.
2. Turn off AJAX temporarily and test the application without that: Get more descriptive errors by disabling AJAX. While developing/testing application we highly recommend doing that without having AJAX enabled. If enabled, it could hide a lot of errors generated by the server and a result of that productivity decreases and causes frustrations.
3. Data binding is another important factor. If not used correctly, the Grid won't produce the expected results. See How to bind RadGrid properly on server-side
4. Last, but not least, check the code behind and ensure that no Command is cancelled. The Grid has the ItemCommand event, and in the event handler avoid setting the "e.Canceled = true;"

Hi Attila,

thank you.

Perhaps the reason is I have no list as Datasource.

It is of the type DataTable.

I show you:

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
       {
           RadGrid1.DataSource = this.Employees;
           this.Employees.PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] {                this.Employees.Columns["OperationalTravelingExpensesId"] };
       }

 

And:

private DataTable Employees
     {
         get
         {
             object obj = this.Session["Employees"];
             if ((!(obj == null)))
             {
                 return ((DataTable)(obj));
             }
             DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable();
             myDataTable = CreateDataTable<MyOperationalTravelingExpense>(OperationalTravelingExpenses);
             this.Session["Employees"] = myDataTable;
             return myDataTable;
         }
     }

UPDATE:

I have installed Google Chrome.

When I investigate the page I get some errors.

"Driver.LastName is no datacoloumn or datarelation for the table."

For me it says nothing.

By the way:

I have generate a new project with your above codeexample and the filtering is working.

But no idea what is going wrong with my project.

Best regards

Hi Simon,

 

1. From the screenshot I can see that AJAX is still enabled. Please make sure to turn it off by following the instructions I have mentioned in my previous post. Specially when troubleshooting. Although it's a good practice to have it turned off for as long the application is being developed. AJAX is not required for an application to work, and so, having it enabled would only slow down the development process.

2. Judging by the error message,  the Grid is trying to access LastName property of Driver object which doesn't exist. Regardless of the DataSource type (List or DataTable), you will need to ensure that the Object and its referenced properties are available.

Hi Attila,

but the object Driver exists, because the lastnames are displayed in the table.

That's just the joke at the thing, that the lastnames are displayed but not filterable.

It is better when I show you the frontend:

Please see the attached files radgridView_1.jpg, radgridView_2.jpg and radgridView_3.jpg !

...and I have AJAX disabled as you can see, but filtering still not working.

<telerik:RadGrid Height="100%" runat="server"  ID="RadGrid1" EnableLinqExpressions="false" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" EnableAJAX="false" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="12"

Hi Simon,

Disabling AJAX is not done through the Grid declaration. Check out the article I have shared earlier and follow the instructions there. Once AJAX is disabled, you will see all server errors in details, if any is generated.

Please follow the first 3 points from my first response and test the application again. If the issue still persist, share the complete markup of the Grid including the column declarations as well as all the code behind that is related to RadGrid.

You can also compare my code snippets to the code you have at your side and see what is done differently. Most likely the Grid at your side is configured differently and that's the reason the filtering is not working.

Hi Simon,

I have attached a runnable sample that works with Sub-Objects and DataTables. (Telerik assemblies not included)

Please modify this sample to replicate the error and share it with us so that we can see what is happening.

Kind regards,

Hi Attila,

thank you for your shared sample, it works!

But there is a difference in the project templates.

My project template in Visual Studio is a webapplication not a website!

And therefore I have a MasterPage file.

Very interesting: When I copy and paste my radgrid from my project in your sample it works too!

Perhaps the MasterPage is the problem.

The radgrid is in the maincontent (ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" )

Here is my MasterPage:

Hi Simon,

We're always using Web Site project when troubleshooting an issue. The biggest advantage that it does need to be built every time you make a change as opposed to a Web Application project. You can check out the following article discussing the main differences briefly: ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application?

For simple scenarios, a Web Site project will do just as well as an Application would, and the difference will not be noticeable except that you will need to build it before the changes can be displayed in the browser. If you create a test page in the Application project and only copy the source code from my sample, that will also work. 

Speaking of building, I was thinking maybe you have changed things but the build was not done, or not complete for some reason. That is something you will need to double check before opening the page.

In any case, I would require a runnable sample project that produces the error so that I can debug it and see why things aren't working.

Try isolating the issue in a sample project and share it with me.

Kind regards,
Attila Antal
