Filterbar and Custom Collections

[Jan Tielens]

Hi

Is it possible to use the FilterBar functionality when the grid is bound to a custom collection? Everything works fine as long as I''m using DataTables. But I''d love to bind my grid to a custom collection... The binding works, but the FilterBar is not displayed.

Is there a specific interface that I need to implement?

Thanks a lot!

The GridFilterBar class only works with DataTables as it uses the DataView.Filter property to do its filtering. If you want to filter a custom collection, you would have to write your own code to do this.

You may want to use a GridGroupingControl as this control can filter arbitrary collections now. The next release will also have a filterbar UI implemented as well that is currently missing from the control.
