[Solved] Programmatically Removing All FilterDescriptors for a Single Silverlight GridViewDataColumn

[Stephen]

Greetings.

Does anyone know how to remove programmatically all of the FilterDescriptors for a single GridView column? I know how to remove all descriptors from the grid:

_grid.FilterDescriptors.Clear();

However, it escapes me how to remove the descriptors only for a single column using the column's UniqueName.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hello Stephen,

The descriptors added by the end-user through the UI are special and are called ColumnFilterDescriptor. They have a reference to their respective column. You can learn about them here.

So, if you debug your app you will notice that for each column with active filter there will be one such ColumnFilterDescriptor in the FilterDescriptors collection. Since this ColumnFilterDescriptor has a property called Column, you can use that to uniquely identify which column is this descriptor for.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
