Hello Erik. I am using version 2, but with datetime fields it does not short. Is it usefull version 4 for this?
Thank you for sharing the code. If anyone is interested I am added some functionality for Sharepoint foundation and CAML.

First off….this is a great article and the code is extremely useful. I’d like to propose a fix though. If you put multiple instances of the webpart on the same page, the filter breaks. The reason is the Template Client ID for the FilterPreMenuOpen always gets set to the first webpart. Adding the following two lines of code for building the ClientOnClickPreMenuOpen solves the problem:

menu.ClientOnClickPreMenuOpen = menu.ClientOnClickPreMenuOpen.Replace(“%TEMPLATECLIENTID%”, this.ClientID + “_SPGridViewFilterMenuTemplate”);
menu.ClientOnClickPreMenuOpen = menu.ClientOnClickPreMenuOpen.Replace(“%MENUCLIENTID%”, this.ClientID + “_ctl01_” + menu.ID);

Great work though!!

Hi Erik,
Thanks for sharing this example! I used it with Sharepoint 2010 and it works well. I expanded its filtering features for using with multi values columns (like TaxonomyFieldMulti and LookupMulti). I posted implementation details here: http://sadomovalex.blogspot.com/2011/03/spgridview-with-filtering-by-multiple.html (my post contains links to this article). Thanks again.

I have used you sample code and it works great!!. I have a issue that I hope you have an answer for. The selectdata() function is called about a 6 times when the page loads. Is there a work around for this????

thanks

Hi,

No, I haven’t had the chance to do so yet. Time permitting, I am planning to do so soon. My guess is it should work but Microsoft may have changed the spgridview.js file which would make it break. If I get a chance to check it out I will definately post about any issues I might find.

I already fixed the thing with all filtering options if multiple filtering is enabled on more columns.

Just what you need is put this part of code to

protected sealed override void CreateChildControls()
{
const string GRIDID = “grid”;
const string DATASOURCEID = “gridDS”;

gridDS = new ObjectDataSource();
gridDS.ID = DATASOURCEID;
gridDS.SelectMethod = “SelectData”;
gridDS.TypeName = this.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName;
gridDS.ObjectCreating += new ObjectDataSourceObjectEventHandler(gridDS_ObjectCreating);
this.Controls.Add(gridDS);

if (Page.IsCallback & ViewState["FilterExpression"]!=null)
{
gridDS.FilterExpression = ViewState["FilterExpression"].ToString();
}
….
}
