[Solved] Grid Filtering on Hyperlink Column

[John Cooney]

 

I have a grid which runs off a stored procedure and works fine.

I implemented filtering, which worked fine.

I then converted one of the columns I'm filtering on from GridBoundColumn

 

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="plaintiff" HeaderText="Plaintiff" SortExpression="plaintiff" UniqueName="plaintiff" ReadOnly="True">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

 

 

 

 

 

 

to a GridHyperLinkColumn

 

 

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextFormatString="{0}" DataNavigateUrlFields="id_tblmaster" UniqueName="Plaintiff1" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="showtags1.aspx?cs={0}" HeaderText="Plaintiff"
 DataTextField="Plaintiff" SortExpression="plaintiff">
</telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

 

 

 

 

The hyperlink works fine and does what I wish and the DataNavigateUrlFields I am using here is in fact a GUID.

I find however that I now get an error filtering on this hyperlink style column.  The filter functionality seems to be trying to filter using the DataNavigateUrl value instead of the DataTextField value.  I do not see where I have a property to set which value the filter should evaluate.

It seems to me that the filtering function should look at the DataTextField value in the case of a GridHyperLinkColumn.

Any help greatly appeciated.

Hi,

Please try  setting the DataType of the GridHyperLinkColumn to string as shown below:

ASPX:

   <telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataType="System.String" DataTextField="ProductName" DataNavigateUrlFields="ProductID"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/Default4.aspx?key={0}">
   </telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

Also  take a look at the forum link below which discusses on a similar issue:

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
