filteredbindinglist and complex criteria help

dean posted on Sunday, August 06, 2006

    I see how Rocky applies simple criteria in the filteredbindinglist(of t) class but I don't really think I understand how to apply more complex criteria. In the code it looks like there is a check for a custom filter provider but without anyway to set that provider (that I can see). My situation:

binding list of (ContactItems)

properties that I need to filter on:
Inactive (true, false)
Type (Disqualified, Lead, Prospect)

I have two checkboxes - Include Inactive (if not checked then we filter inactive)
and Include Disqualified (if not checked then we filter contacts whose type is "Disqualified")

both may or may not be checked.

TIA

Dean.

Well that appears to be a pretty major oversight...

This is exactly why I encourage people to try out the new code/concepts - because sometimes I just plain miss the obvious...

So far other than that it is working real well.

BTW - I am amazed at how thin I can make my windows UI code with the new framework (and I suspect my evolving abilities with CSLA/mutli tier design). It is as close to fun as work gets :)

Well I'm glad to hear that!!

I have now added both a ctor overload and a property to allow setting of the filter provider delegate. The changes are in cvs for both VB and C#.
