Match Case issue

[jean-Marc]

Hi,
while reviewing one of your online example : http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#DomainDataSource/RadDataFilterIntegration
I found that the Match case feature didn't seems to work.
The DataFilter seems to do his job and translate properly as follow
Examples.Web.Customer[].Where(item => item.ContactName.Contains("ANN")).Take(10)
Examples.Web.Customer[].Where(item => item.ContactName.ToLower().Contains("ANN".ToLower())).Take(10)

the domain data source returned in both case 5 entries (3 of them are wrong).
Just thought I will share what might be a bug.
Regards

Hello jean-Marc,

Unfortunately, the LINQ to Entities query provider will always "send" a case-insensitive "Where" to SQL Server.

Kind regards,

shouldn't that option be hidden then? It's confusing otherwise.

Hello,

 Unfortunately we cannot detect the query provider behind the service to hide this conditionally. 

All the best,

OK thanks Vlad. I guess it's up to the developer to define then if the type of collation use case sensitive or insensitive. Between is there an option to hide this option if the developer knows this won't work? Or should he just redefine the template?

Hi jean-Marc,

You can attach to the FieldFilterEditorCreated event of the grid. The event arguments will contain the instance of the field filter editor being created, in this case a StringFilterEditor. You can find the check-box with the ChildrenOfType<T> method and set its Visibility to false, if you know that it will not work.

Let me know if there are problems with this approach.

Best wishes,

I cannot seem to find the event FieldFilterEditorCreated off the RadGridView.  Did it change?  Am I missing a reference?

Hi Bryan Hill,

You are probably using an older version. Can you try with the latest one?
