DashboardDesigner.CustomFilterExpression Event

Allows you to include WHERE clauses into DashboardSqlDataSource queries.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v24.2.Win.dll

Declaration

C#

public event CustomFilterExpressionEventHandler CustomFilterExpression

VB.NET

Public Event CustomFilterExpression As CustomFilterExpressionEventHandler

Event Data

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

Property	Description
DataSourceComponentName	Get the data source name, used in code to identify the data source’s object, for which the event has been raised.
DataSourceConnectionName
DataSourceName	Gets the name of the data source for which the event has been raised.
FilterExpression	Gets or sets the filter expression that defines a WHERE clause included in the SQL query.
QueryName	Gets the name of the query for which the event was raised.

Remarks

The CustomFilterExpression event fires for each SelectQuery within the SqlDataSource.Queries collection. The e.FilterExpression property allows you to include a WHERE clause into a query at runtime. If a filter is already applied to the SQL query, e.FilterExpression returns the corresponding filter criteria.

For more information on how to create filter criteria as a CriteriaOperator object, refer to the following help article: Simplified Criteria Syntax.

Note

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

Example

Note

This example demonstrates API and functionality that is common for the DashboardViewer and DashboardDesigner controls.

This example shows how to handle the DashboardViewer.CustomFilterExpression event to filter an SQL query at runtime. The e.QueryName event parameter is the query name. The e.FilterExpression property specifies the filter criteria.

Form1.cs

using DevExpress.DataAccess;
using DevExpress.Data.Filtering;

namespace Dashboard_CustomFilterExpression_Win {
    public partial class Form1 : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            dashboardViewer1.LoadDashboard(@"..\..\Data\Dashboard.xml");
        }

        private void dashboardViewer1_CustomFilterExpression(object sender, CustomFilterExpressionEventArgs e) {
            if (e.DataSourceName == "SQL Data Source 1" && e.TableName == "Invoices") {
                e.FilterExpression = new BinaryOperator("CustomerID","AROUT",BinaryOperatorType.Equal);
            }
        }
    }
}
