My intention is to use the 'DisplayValueHolder.DisplayValue' for the filter list user interface and 'DisplayHolder.ID' for creating a query which will return the filtered data.
public class DisplayValueHolder
{
public string ID{get;set;}
public string Value{get;set;}
}
Is it possible to use the GridView's 'DistinctValuesLoading' event to return a collection of objects like DisplayValueHolder which contains different values for display and the data?

Hello Nikhil Pant,
If the column is bound to a property of type DisplayValueHolder, then yes, you can interfere and return your own collection of DisplayValueHolder's in the DistinctValuesLoading event handler. You might want to add an IValueConverter to the column's DataMemberBinding in case you want to show the DisplayValue instead of the whole DisplayValueHolder. This will also display the DisplayValue instead of the whole business object in the column's cells. Or you can override the ToString method of DisplayValueHolder to return its DisplaValue. There are a number of options here.
Another option would be to create your own custom filtering control and configure it in any way that you need. When you have your own custom filtering control you have absolute power over what is going on, i.e. what distinct values are shown, etc. Here is a tutorial on how to create one.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
