ASPxDashboard.CustomFilterExpression Event

Allows you to include WHERE clauses into DashboardSqlDataSource queries.

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v18.2.Web.WebForms.dll

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

public event CustomFilterExpressionWebEventHandler CustomFilterExpression

Public Event CustomFilterExpression As CustomFilterExpressionWebEventHandler

Event Data

The CustomFilterExpression event's data class is CustomFilterExpressionWebEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
DashboardId	Gets the identifier of the current dashboard.
DataSourceComponentName	Get the data source name, used in code to identify the data source’s object, for which the event has been raised. Inherited from CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.
DataSourceName	Gets the name of the data source for which the event has been raised. Inherited from CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.
FilterExpression	Gets or sets the filter expression that defines a WHERE clause included in the SQL query. Inherited from CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.
QueryName	Gets the name of the query for which the event was raised. Inherited from CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.
TableName	Indicates the name of a data table to which the CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.FilterExpression applies. Inherited from CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.

Remarks

The CustomFilterExpression event fires for each SelectQuery within DashboardSqlDataSource (the SqlDataSource.Queries property) and allows you to include a WHERE clause to a query at runtime using the CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.FilterExpression event parameter. If filtering is already applied to the SQL query, CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.FilterExpression returns a corresponding filter criteria.

Note

The CustomFilterExpression event is not raised for custom SQL queries and stored procedures.

Example

The following example shows how to filter an SQL query at runtime using the ASPxDashboard.CustomFilterExpression event. The CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.TableName event parameter is used to check the name of the query that should be filtered. The CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs.FilterExpression property specifies the required filter criteria.
