my application has lots of grids. i find that the filters are case sensitive and do not work with the apostrophe character unless i set
EnableLinqExpressions="false"
in the grid definition. naturally, i dont want to have to do this for every grid in my application. i'm wondering why the default would be set to true when it has such an impact on existing functionality?
cheers,
rob

Hello Rob,
You can control whether the filter expressions that RadGrid builds are case sensitive or not by setting CaseSensitive property.

Hello Rob,
I am afraid that you will have to set the property on every grid. Just like any other property of RadGrid.

"Just like any other property of RadGrid."
sorry - but that is not correct. the overwhelming majority of properties have sensible default values, otherwise every aspx page with a grid on it would be ten pages long.
in the past, the filters on radgrid ALWAYS worked CASE INSENSITIVE. in my opinion, this should be the obvious choice for the default because most people performing searches do not want them to be case sensitive.
So my point is that i believe the default option of CASE SENSITIVE is not the best choice for this particular application and i am doubly annoyed about it because it was not this way in the past - thus rendering previously fully working software "buggy" (in the opinion of end users).
Can you see my point?
thanks,
rob

CaseSensitive property of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX is introduced on September/2007 and its default value since then is true, which indicates that filtering will be case sensitive.
Can you please tell us in which version of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX this property has no affect filter expression or send us sample application demonstrating this behavior?
