[Solved] String Filter - Does Not Contain Oddity

[Bren]

• Very basic grid setup. Binding to database. Have a string type coming in with potential values

          000111
          003434
          NULL (displays as blank)
          000233
          ect.

• Problem: When providing a filter of "00" of type 'Contains' it works fine and only returns rows that contain '00'

However, upon changing the filter to 'Does not Contain' the grid doesn't return the rows that have the NULL value, which is odd, because they certainly don't contain '00'...

• Column code:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ApplicationNumber" HeaderText="App ID" UniqueName="ApplicationNumber"  AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" FilterListOptions="VaryByDataType" ReadOnly="true">
  <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
  <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Telerik Version: 2008.2.723.35

Hello Bren,

Can you please try with latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and see whether the problem still exists?

I believe that you cannot observe such behavior of RadGrid with latest Q1 SP1 2009 version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX.

All the best,
