Filters dont persist on page change?

[Michael]

So i drop down the filter boxes and initiate a filter for Starts With B. I get 25 Results (set to 10 per page).   If I go to page 2 then back to page 1 the filter is no longer applied. 

What is the recommended way to have filter settings persist across page changes?

Thanks,
Michael

I get the same problem, but if I filter and then click to the next page, the filter has disappeared.

Hello Michael,

Take a look at the following demo.
Grid / Persisting Grid Settings

-Shinu.

So, the RadGrid controls don't actually persist the settings at all? Surely this should be standard functionality?  

If i'm honest, i seem to be constantly asking questions on this forum about things which should be standard functionality but are not.  This is a prime example, the grid control handles filtering and the grid control handles paging but if you wanna use both (which i would expect to be a common thing to do) then you have to go and code it yourself.

I'll look more into this class/code but it goes with out saying that I am unhappy about this solution. We have 15+ RadGrids in our product and I am now going to have to go and add this code to them all.

Hello,

The grid filter expression is persisted though postbacks. You can see this in the below demos for instance:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/generalfeatures/filtering/defaultcs.aspx
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandcombo/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid

So there should something in your cases that is in fact clearing the expression implicitly. Can you elaborate a bit more on your case? How is the grid bound, where do you have calls to the Rebind() or DataBind method, is ViewState enabled? If you can share the full page code here, .aspx and .cs/.vb, we will check it out and try finding what went wrong.
