Rad Grid Filter Template

[kks]

Telerik,

in my radGrid i got a GridTemplate Column, which contain a Label Control.
this Label Carries combination of two feilds .  ( label.text = description + extended description )
because i required combination two feild values in a single column.
The Issue is now, i can't able to filter this GridTemplate  using rad grid's filter option.

I am tring to impliment filter Template on this gridTemplate Column.
can any body help me how to impliment this filter template. OR if any body have better suggesion for filtering this column ( other than this ), please send to me.

Code used for gridTemplate Column:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="description"
    UniqueName="description" Display="false">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="extendedDescription" HeaderText="Ext. Description"
    SortExpression="extendedDescription" UniqueName="extendedDescription" Display="false">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="description1" HeaderText="Description">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("description")& " - " & Eval("extendedDescription") %>'></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <FilterTemplate>
        <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RdTxtName" EmptyMessage="Search" runat="server" EmptyMessageStyle-Font-Italic="true"
            HoveredStyle-Font-Italic="true" Width="100%">
        </telerik:RadTextBox><asp:Button ID="btnFilter" runat="server" Width="20px" Text="" OnClientClick="return filterName()" />
    </FilterTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hello,

To allow filtering in template columns, you need to set the DataField property of the template column to the field you want to use for filtering. Refer to the following help article for more information:

All the best,
