ASP.NET Futures (2007): DynamicFilter Control
This section provides information about the following:
DynamicFilter control. This control is one of a set of dynamic data
controls that obtain schema information at run time, provide default display formats
according to common user expectations, and enable you to easily customize those
formats.
The DynamicFilter control provides user interface (UI) elements that
control filtering for a column of the current table. The following example shows
how to enable the user to select which lines of the current table to display, based
on the value of the Category field.
<asp:DynamicFilter runat="server" ColumnName="Category" />
By default, a drop-down list is used to provide the UI. You can customize this by
setting the FilterStyle property to DropDown, List,
or Radio, as shown in the following example.
<asp:DynamicFilter runat="server" ColumnName="Category" FilterStyle="Radio" />
This control has the following properties:
ControlID. Specifies the name of a DropDownList,
List, or RadioButton control. DynamicFilter uses
the specified control to display the filter values, instead of creating a control
with default settings. This enables you to customize the appearance of the filter
UI. ColumnName. Specifies the table column to be filtered. The column does
not have to be visible in the DynamicList control that displays the
list of rows. FilterStyle. Specifies the style of control used to display the filter
values if the DynamicFilter control creates its own control. Values
can be DropDown, List, or Radio.
