Filtering all data at once by typing into just a textbox?

[Kevin Davis]

Hello.  I have a grid populated by datatable.  Is there a way to filter all columns at once just by typing search criteria into a simple textbox?  I believe I saw an article on how to do this but cannot find that article now.

Hi Kevin Davis,

Based on the information provided, we understand that you need to filter a column based on the text entered in a TextBox . This can be achieved by setting the "SearchController.AllowFiltering" property to true . However, since you are using a DataTable as the DataSource, filtering will not work during search operations by default. To enable filtering, the DataTable should be converted into a dynamic collection.

To assist you further, we have prepared a sample that demonstrates this approach. Please review the sample and the User Guide link below, and let us know if it meets your requirements.
