HowTo: Filtering grid associated with Datatable

[Jorge Gonzalez]

Hello,

    I finally figured out how to filter a grid associated with a datatable. Instead of filtering the grid, which was a traumatic experience, I filtered the datatable associated with the grid instead. It took less than 7 lines of code and most of those lines of code were for creating the filter expression:

I am collecting a bunch of values in another window so I can filter the varnames column in my grid so:

string filterexpression = "varnames in (" + < bunch of values> + ")"

gridname.ItemsSource = <datatable name>.Select(filterexpression, <supply sort expression>, DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);
