Problem with RadDataFilter

[Karim]

Hello,

I have bound a GridView to a bindingsource. The bindingsource are based on the entity frame work and will be set with the following code:

 bsDetekEingabePos.DataSource = (From DetektorPos As tblDetekEingabePos In dbContext.tblDetekEingabePos                                                           Order By DetektorPos.Id Where DetektorPos.SN = "4711" And DetektorPos.VarianteNr = 1
                                Select DetektorPos).ToList

 

Now I have placed a DataFilter element on my form wich has the same datasource like the grid. I also have implemented the code:

Private Sub RadDataFilter1_Edited_1(sender As Object, e As TreeNodeEditedEventArgs) Handles RadDataFilter1.Edited        RadDataFilter1.ApplyFilter()
 End Sub

 

But when I select a filter in the DataFilter nothing happens. The grid shows the same data then before.
Do you have any idea what the problem can be?

Thank's in advance
Karim

Hello Karim, 

Thank you for writing.  
 
I would recommend you to have a look at the Demo application >> Data Filter >> First look example which demonstrates how to filter the grid through the RadDataFilter. The RadDataFilter.DataSource property must implement IBindingListView. That is why you can use a BindingSource for the DataSource property of RadGridView and RadDataFilter. However, every BindingSource has a property SupportsFiltering. In case you set an entity set as BindingSource.DataSource, these two properties are automatically set to false. Please refer to the following StackOverflow thread demonstrating a sample approach how you can filter the BindingSource filled with entities: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12125037/use-filter-of-bindingsource-with-entity-framework

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
