Grid will not bind correctly post filter (combo) selection

[vidya]

I have attached 2 files. An aspx page and a code behind vb page. I am trying to apply filter by implementing filter template. I have a radcombobox that filters the radgrid. 

Datasource for the radgrid is a dataset defined in aspx.vb. There are 2 tables in the dataset

Radcombobox datasource is a datatable from the above dataset defined in aspx.vb.

Trying to rebind the radgrid after the radcombobox selection both in code behind and on aspx via JS. 

1) using the following lines in cmbStateSelectedIndexChanged event does not rebind the grid.

 gv_MainStatusDynamic.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = e.Value<br>  filterItem.FireCommandEvent("Filter", New Pair("Contains", e.Value))<br>  gv_MainStatusDynamic.Rebind()

 

2) using FilterExpression in radgrid prerender does not rebind the grid

If isFiltered Then<br>            If rg_dynamic.MasterTableView.FilterExpression <> "0" Then<br>            Dim filterItem As GridFilteringItem = TryCast(TryCast(sender, RadComboBox).NamingContainer, GridFilteringItem)<br>            Dim aCombo As RadComboBox = TryCast(filterItem.FindControl("cmbState"), RadComboBox)<br>            rg_dynamic.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = Session("StateVal")<br>            rg_dynamic.MasterTableView.Rebind()<br>            End If<br>        End If

 

3) using filtering in aspx page does not rebind grid.

<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="RadScriptBlock1" runat="server"><br>                                           <script type="text/javascript"><br>                                               function SelectedIndexChanged(sender, args)<br>                                               {<br>                                                   var tableView = $find("<%# TryCast(Container, GridItem).OwnerTableView.ClientID %>");<br>                                                   tableView.filter("State", args.get_item().get_value(), "EqualTo");<br>                                               }<br>                                           </script><br>                                       </telerik:RadScriptBlock>

 

In my first and second cases after I select a state and I do rg_dynamic.MasterTableView.Rebind(), the cmbState will not hold the selected value.

In my third case applying just that code to filter the grid on aspx side (that is commenting filter expression code in grid prerender and combobox selected index changed server side events) will hold the selected value. 

I have the datasource available for both grid and combox box on my server side. The grid will not rebind post filtered value. I came across an example on your forum pages http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/functionality/filtering/filter-templates/defaultcs.aspx
But it is not helping me.

Any help on this is appreciated.

I have tried to select from dataset and apply the expression to rebind the grid inside the grid pre-render event. Not sure if I am doing this right. 

In the combo selected index changed event I am saving the text(name of the state) to session variable instead of stateCompID as I was doing it earlier. But the grid still does not rebind. 

Dim SprocData As DataSet = GetData()<br>                Dim items = (From p In SprocData.Tables(0).AsEnumerable()<br>                Select New With {.ID = p.Field(Of Integer)("StateCompID"),<br>                                .Name = p.Field(Of String)("State")}).ToList()<br>                Dim filtered = items.Where(Function(x) x.Name.Contains(Session("StateVal"))).ToList()<br>                gv_MainStatusDynamic.MasterTableView.FilterExpression = filtered.ToString<br>                gv_MainStatusDynamic.MasterTableView.Rebind()

Hi Vidya,

The following live sample you mentioned should work as expected:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/functionality/filtering/filter-templates/defaultcs.aspx

Also, you can check the first sample provided in the following post for an actual demonstration:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-persist-dropdownlist-selected-index-and-value-on-postback-from-radgrid-filtertemplate#GW3MyQLmVEmy8XzsmrHzeQ

In addition, I am also sending a VB sample.
