Hi Mahdi,

On my side the suggested approach works exactly as requested:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn ... DataType="System.String">

Alternatively, you can use the following configuration to achieve the requested functionality:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="NumericFieldName" HeaderText="Header"

DataField="Freight" DataType="System.String">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Freight") %>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Hello Eyup
Thank you for Reply
When I Use DataType="System.string" ,It shows me Some Items Like 'Contains','StartWith','EndWith' ,.... .It Shows All Of items BUT this Items Doesn't Work for Integer.I mean When I click On This Items Nothing Happens.just Items like 'GreaterThan','LessThan','EqualTo' ,... Work for Integer . I tried Your Code But it acts Like this.
It is My Code :

<telerik:GridNumericColumn CurrentFilterFunction="equalto" DataField="ContractNumber"

FilterControlWidth="100px" HeaderStyle-Width="300px" UniqueName="ContractNumber"

HeaderText="شماره قرارداد" ShowFilterIcon="true">

</telerik:GridNumericColumn>

I Changed GridNumericColumn to GridBoundColumn and GridTemplateColumn, But My Problem Exists yet.
I don't Know What My Problem is.

Hi Mahdi,

I have prepared a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate that the suggested approach works as expected. Can you please run the attached application and try to determine the crucial differences between our projects?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Shinu,

I have tried above example from Eyup, where I added EnableLinqExpressions="false" parameter. It didn't work either. It shows all rows instead of filtered ...

Hi Vasssek,

I guess you want to apply Default Filter on Initial Load, hence you are setting EnableLinqExpressions="false". With EnableLinqExpressions="false",your required scenario cannot be obtained. You can set EnableLinqExpressions="true" and try the FilterExpression for default filter as mentioned here . Coding this way you can filter Integer GridBoundColumn as string. Below is a sample I have tried:

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//When EnableLinqExpressions="true", the FilterExpression is as follows

if (!Page.IsPostBack)

{

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = @"it[""ShipCountry""].ToString().Contains(""Germany"")";

GridColumn column = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("ShipCountry");

column.CurrentFilterFunction = GridKnownFunction.Contains;

column.CurrentFilterValue = "Germany";

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

}

Thanks,
Shinu

Hi Shinu,

you're right. I use it in RadGrid1_PreRender where I need to traverse all pages in the RadGrid until the newly inserted item is found. The problem is that I have approx. 100000 records and standard steps (Radgrid.rebind and select next page) are taken too much time.

Now, I do it this way:

string filterExpression = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression.Length > 0 ? RadGrid1.MasterTableView.FilterExpression : string.Empty;

string

sortExpression = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.Count > 0 ? RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SortExpressions[0].ToString() :

string.Empty;

int pageSize = RadGrid1.PageSize;

int

currentPageIndex = GetcurrentPageIndex(recordIDexpression, filterExpression, sortExpression, pageSize, (DataTable)RadGrid1.DataSource);

private int GetcurrentPageIndex(string recordIDexpression, string filterExpression, string sortExpression, int pageSize, DataTable dataTable)

{

DataRow[] foundrows = null;

DataRow[] foundrow = null;

DataTable custom_dt;

int currentPageIndex = -1;

try

{

if (dataTable.Rows.Count > 0)

{

if (sortExpression.Length > 0)

{

dataTable.DefaultView.Sort = sortExpression;

dataTable = dataTable.DefaultView.ToTable();

}

if (filterExpression.Length > 0)

{

foundrows = dataTable.Select(filterExpression);

if (foundrows.Length > 0)

{

custom_dt = foundrows.CopyToDataTable();

foundrow = custom_dt.Select(recordIDexpression);

currentPageIndex = custom_dt.Rows.IndexOf(foundrow[0]) / pageSize;

}

else

{

foundrow = dataTable.Select(recordIDexpression);

currentPageIndex = dataTable.Rows.IndexOf(foundrow[0]) / pageSize;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

}

return currentPageIndex;

}

As you can see function GetcurrentPageIndex uses datatable.select with SQL filter expression (EnableLinqExpressions="false").

If I want to use numeric column filtering as string I must use EnableLinqExpressions="true" and rewrite datatable select and sort via linq language or do you have any idea ?

Best regards

RadGridSQLPosition.zip

Hi Vasssek,

To be able to filter numeric field as a string one, you need to keep EnableLinqExpressions set as True. In case you want to navigate to the newly inserted item, you can use the approach demonstrated in the attached sample once you have the item's unique ID.

Hope this helps.

Hello Vasssek,

Yes, this is correct because the GetRecordPosition method returns the original record index from the datasource, but in the grid it has a different position after the Sort or Filter expression applied.

In that case, I suggest you to use the double Rebind() approach demonstrated in this sample:
http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid/get-selected-items-through-all-pages.aspx

Thank you for the suggestion. You can log it in our feedback portal so our developers take it under consideration:

Hi Offir,

Here is an example:

public class ProductViewModel

{

public int ProductID

{ get; set; }

public string ProductName

{ get; set; }

}

Now, if we have a Grid showing the IDs and the Product names, you can use the Contains filter on the ProductName but not on the ProductID. If, for example, the ProductID is of type string, then you would be able to use the Contains operator.

The issue with the DropDownList however is not related to this topic and I would ask you to open a new support ticket for it.

In my case i have a grid with a dateTime column:

columns.Bound(Function(p) p.PriorityEndDateTime).ClientTemplate("#=kendo.toString(PriorityEndDateTime,'yyyy/MM/dd')#").
HeaderTemplate("End Date").
HeaderHtmlAttributes(New With {.class = "col-xs-2"})

i understand it is not possible to filter on numeric columns such as dates so i thought to create a hidden column that will hold the date values as strings, the only problem is that i don't know how to convert those columns into strings.
please show me how.
best regards
