[Solved] Filtering not working with field backed with securestring

[Nijanand]

I have a field A of type securestring in my Model, i expose a string property for the securestring, converting it to a string, for grid binding.

Sorting on column B works, but when i use filters, it throws an InvalidCastException ( Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'System.Security.SecureString'.)
      

  public SecureString A;
   public string B{
       get { return A.ConvertToUnsecureString();
           }  //We have a public getter to ensure grid Telerik binding works
        set { A = value.ConvertToSecureString();
            }}

columns.Bound(o => o.B)

Nijanand,

The problem you are experience is happening because the control is attempting to model bind to the public SecureString backing field "A".

Simply change it's access modifier to private and the exception will go away :-)
