Thanks for your usefull post! One note:
I found out that if I had grid.DataBind(); – method called inside the Render method the SelectData is called twice. When I moved grid.DataBind(); -call to OnPreRender method, I got rid of the second SelectData -call.
If SelectData method takes some time (call to other datasource), it decreases performance to call it twice (in vain). (Only difference from your code is that I call GenerateColumns from CreateChildControls instead of Render)

No problem whatsoever. I provided the code so I’d like to see it work for you too Would you be able to send me your code so I can have a look at it? I am sure the problem is something simple (as these problems tend to be) but without the code I can’t think of anything to point you in the right direction. My e-mail address is eburger at reversealchemy dot nl.

If you can’t send me the code (for commercial reasons, for example) please let me know and I will try and flesh out exactly which parts of the code are involved in the setting of the icon. That might help. But having the code would be better

No, I’m afraid your issue is completely new to me. The workaround provided seems way to hackish to me though so I wouldn’t bet my money on that being the solution. If you are using your own SPGridView control, maybe attaching the debugger might shed some light on the issue, or at least where it is occurring.
Also, you could try to add the user you are logging into SP with to the authorized users in your SQL database. If I had to hazard a guess, it somehow seems that the SP user’s credentials are used to try and log in to SQL, but only after the connection to SQL is refreshed. Adding the SP user’s credentials to your SQL database would then solve the issue. It’s a VERY wild guess and it still sounds hackish to me but it’s more manageable than the offered solution. I think.

Good luck,

Erik

Sorry to be a pest but I just can’t seem to get more than one filter icon showing at a time. I’ve recopied your proxy code above and checked the code in your grid_RowDataBound event of the ASPGridView class and it looks the same as what I’ve currently got.

What I meant was that the possible filter values in the “Total Sales H” column are not filtered to represent the already active filters on the other two columns. What I would want to happen is that the possible filter values only contain those values that match both “J. Smith” and “Asia” (as in “SELECT FROM [Total Sales H] WHERE [NameH] = ‘J.Smith” AND [RegionH] = ‘Asia’).

As for the icons not showing correctly, I actually forgot to include the necessary changes to the grid_RowDataBound method of the ASPGridView class in my post. My apologies. I’ve updated the post.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I was refering to the fact that the icon (for me anyway), only shows for the last column that was filtered, although the filter is still being applied to both columns.

I had a look at your screenshot but vcan’t see what the issue is. Is it the fact that you’ve filtered and the item isn’t highlighted in the list of filter values?

This part works for me although again, it’s only being applied to the last filtered column. So the filter appears to be applied, it’s just the UI aspects which are awry.

Thanks,

Mark

I am glad you liked it (and that it worked ). I am going to address a problem with the UI showing the wrong information, but I am wondering if we are talking about the same thing. Are you talking about the icon not appearing on the columns that are filtered or the filter menu not showing the correct data? If the first, that should actually work so we might have to look into that a little more. If the second, that’s the one I’ll be talking about. To illustrate, you can find a screenshot of the ASPGridView in action here.

Erik
