Set default filter at runtime

[Riccardo]

Can i set a default preset filter value for a grid at runtime? 

I'd like to add a isEqualTo value from jquery or similar

.Filter(f => f.Add(a => a.OperatorID).IsEqualTo( ? ))

Hello Riccardo,

The IsEqualTo operator accepts a value of the same type as the type of model property bound to the column:

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Filter(filter => filter.Add(a => a.ProductName).IsEqualTo("Chai"))
         ....

In the example above the IsEqualTo accepts a string as the ProductName is of type string.

Please try this and let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Nikolay
