Hi,

Please, try to correctly override and implement the TryGetIndex and TrySetIndex methods (just as you have done with TryGetMember and TrySetMember) on your dynamic object since you are accessing the Cells through its indexer. Maybe this will help.

Thanks for your support,

I have  override  TrySetIndex and TryGetIndex functions and set 

column.FilterMemberPath property but i does't seems to work.

Please download and check the project from below path.

Hi,

After a lot of debugging I found out what the problem is. Unfortunately, the data engine cannot handle a case like yours -- i.e. when you have a dynamic object which returns another normal object (Cell) and you want to drill down into its properties. When we enter the dynamic paradigm we cannot go outside it when trying to resolve properties. We don't know what this dynamic object will return and we cannot generate a member access expression unfortunately.

We support dynamic objects but you can only use their direct properties or indices, i.e. you cannot return a Cell for everything and then drill down into its Text property. You can, but we cannot support this scenario and build the correct LINQ expression at runtime.

If you modify your dynamic object to directly return the Text when asked about ["ID"] or ["Name"] then things should work. You will have to change the Binding of course to be [{0}] and help the column by setting its DataType to typeof(string). In other words -- eliminate the ".Text" part from the whole design.
