Hi Ana,

I am glad you found my article helpful

As for your question about multiple filtering, yes, I did get it working. The process is rather involved and I haven’t been able to write down how I achieved it. I am not really sure when I will be able to do this as I am rather busy at the moment but I will try to make it as soon as possible.

Perhaps I can make a start in helping you by e-mail? If you write me at eburger at reversealchemy dot net I can see what I can do on a bit of a shorter notice.

Best regards,

Erik

Hello Vishal,

The SPGridView is able to filter anything you can write the proper expression for (assigned to the FilteredDataSourcePropertyFormat property. However, this value is pretty much static so you cannot filter anything ELSE than what matches the expression without some work.

What you can do is create the FilterExpression at runtime through gridDS_Filtering method (in the example code). Based on the type of field that is filtered you can adjust the FilterExpression property.

Let me know if this helps you out. If not we can take another look at your exact problem.

Hi Erik
Great post indeed. i’m trying to use this post information to filter columns in my webpart,that webpart uses Site url,and list name and comma separated columns as property,also i’m giving filter columns as property,and in return it shows the relevant information irrespective of the location of the list.But while doing this,i’m not able to filter certain values,i mean text values and people values,and date time values when time is selected.I think i’m missing some small hint or point there.Can you please guide me to get this thing working.it will be a great help.if u say i can send you my code file and error screenshot as well.
Thanks In Advance
Warm Regards

Hi,

I’m glad you found it useful. I do have a few ideas on how to get multiple-column filtering to work but I haven’t looked into it yet. I think I’ll do just that somewhere this week and I am sure you’ll find a new post on the topic if I figure something out

Thanks for posting this Erik, works a treat. However, have you managed to get it to filter in the same way as SharePoint does when presenting standard SharePoint list data? By that I mean, the ability to apply more than one filter at a time?
