DxGrid.FilterBy(String, GridFilterRowOperatorType, Object) Method

Filters grid data by the specified column value.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public void FilterBy(
    string columnFieldName,
    GridFilterRowOperatorType operatorType,
    object value
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
columnFieldName	String	Specifies the name of the data source field that supplies data for the processed column. If the grid does not contain the column that corresponds to the specified data field, an exception occurs.
operatorType	GridFilterRowOperatorType	An enumeration value that specifies the column’s comparison operator.
value	Object	Specifies a filter value.

Remarks

The FilterBy method allows you to filter grid data by an individual column’s value. The filter row displays the specified filter value in the corresponding column’s editor. The method call replaces an existing filter value (if any) for the column.

The Grid filters rows by cell values. Set the FilterMode property to DisplayText to filter grid rows by display text.

You can use the column’s FilterRowValue and FilterRowOperatorType properties to specify the initial value in a column’s filter row editor.

The highlighted code block shows how to add two buttons that filter grid data by the corresponding column’s values.

You can also use the FilterBy method to clear the filter condition in code. To do this, pass null to the method’s value parameter.

<DxButton Click="@(() => MyGrid.FilterBy("ProductName", GridFilterRowOperatorType.Contains, null))">Clear the "Product Name" Filter Condition</DxButton>

To clear all filter conditions in code, call the ClearFilter() method.
