Hi,

All columns in my grid are added manually in code. Then I set the grid DataSource so most columns are mapped via by FieldName. But there are also not mapped columns that contains expression. I have problem with filtering those columns.

To get the error, do 3 quick steps:

1. Add new form and then add new Grid with 4 columns (GridViewTextBoxColumn).
2. Copy and paste code:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

radGridView1.AllowEditRow = false;

radGridView1.AllowAddNewRow = false;

radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true;

radGridView1.ShowFilteringRow = true;

radGridView1.SelectionMode = GridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

dt.Columns.Add( new DataColumn("sql1", typeof(Int32)));

dt.Columns.Add( new DataColumn("sql2", typeof(Int32)));

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[] { 1, 0 });

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[] { 1, 1 });

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[] { 0, 1 });

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[] { 1, 0 });

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[] { 1, 1 });

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[] { 1, 0 });

radGridView1.DataSource = dt;

radGridView1.Columns[2].Expression = "IIF(column1 = 1, 'YES', 'NO' )";

radGridView1.Columns[3].Expression = "IIF(column2 = 1, 'YES', 'NO' )";

}

3. Run application and add filter: "y" to column 3, then enter "y" to column 4.

You will get error like in title of this post.

Output:
