Hi
Can somebody explain for me how the FilterExpression works?
Im trying to get a simple example to work as I want it to do.
In the example I first used a FilterExpression on the SQLDataSource. First taken from a dropdownlist and then explicitly as "Login_Name='Patrik'". In both cases the filtering is working fine.
Then Im trying to do the same with the RadGrids MasterTableViews FilterExpression but it doesnt seem to work the same. Or Im not getting the syntax. How would I write the FilterExpression to do the same for me as in the SQLDataSource?
And secondly how could I get the FilterExpression to take the selection in the DropDownList?

Hello Mathias,
If you are using .net 3.5/4.0 version of RadGrid filter expressions are in different format. RadGrid internally use Dynamic LINQ in order to perform filtering. The format of the expression depends on what is the source that will be filtered.
In case of SqlDataSource format is as follow: it["FieldName"] = "Value". Thus the expressions like: Login_Name='Patrik' should look as follow: it["Login_Name"] = "Patrik".
Of course you can set EnableLinqExpressions to false of RadGrid and then use sql like expressions - same as for SqlDataSource.
