Nesting Filterdescriptor for GridData

[Iwan van Ee]

Lets Say I have 3 tables. Table A (with Objects) Table B (With Objects) and a LINK table (with two fields for linking both tables).

I have a method like this:

public IQueryable<A> GetAWithB()
{
  return ObjectContext.A.Include("LINK_A_B.B").OrderBy(A => A.Name);
}

All objects have the [include] tags:

For Object A and B:

[Include]

      public EntityCollection<LINK_Folder_Tagnumber> LINK_Folder_Tagnumber { get; set; }

[Include]
 public EntityCollection<LINK_A_B> LINK_A_B { get; set; }

And for the LINK Table 

[Include]
public A A { get; set; }

[Include]
public B B { get; set; }

In a page I have a grid bound to the GetAWithB which show objects A. And what I'd like to do is bind a text box to a property of object B. So that the user is able to see all Objects A wich a relation to Object B that contains a text in the B.Name property.

So I was thinking this should work like this:

<riaControls:FilterDescriptor
   PropertyPath="LINK_A_B.B.Name"
  Operator="Contains"
    Value="{Binding ElementName=tbName, Path=Text}">
</riaControls:FilterDescriptor>

But the PropertyPath seems not to be the correct one...any ideas?

Hello Iwan van Ee,

How is your question related to Telerik controls?

I thought it was do-able with the RadGrid. But sorry it was an issue related to Binding and filtering and not related to the grid at all. I already have the answer btw.
