Pass filters, sort to Rest Api

[Patryk]

Hello,

 

Here is my situation:

1. I have got client app in WPF ( Cant create here any db context etc )

2. I have got Rest Api where is DbContext (EntityFramework)

3. I have got RadGrid and RadPager

 

I want to pass QueryableCollectionView or QueryableEntityCollectionView or something else? to this rest api, processing data, use filters, pagination and sorters from radgrid. Then in returns i want to receive collection of Products, Employees or something

 

Is any body do something like this? I know that in Blazor UI there is DataSourceRequest etc and it works fine, but i did not find alternative in WPF

Hello Patryk,

You can take a look at the EntityFrameworkCoreDataSource (for the new .NET versions) and EntityFrameworkDataSource (for .NET Framework).

Hi, 

But those data sources are working only with a direct connection to the Database.

I think that he's (and I) looking for an efficient way to pass the grid filter/sort/page/group into a web API endpoint.

Patryk, Am I right?

In that case, you will need to do that manually. Basically, you can use the RadGridView events. You can find some information on that topic in the Managing Data section of the help documentation of RadGridView.
