Setting FilterExpression on GridView component at runtime in C#
Hello,
I have an application that queries an SQL table for a list of patients. The results of this query are displayed on a GridView component. I have the component coded to populate with patients information at runtime. I am not sure how to programmatically set the filter expression for any of the columns. (I can set FilterExpression within aspx but this is not an option for the application and I need to have FilterExpression set/configured at runtime. Is this possible in C#?
Thank you!

Here is my method:
// I would like to filter the query results based on text entered in a component called Label1.Text to filter [clientLast]
protected void BindGrid()
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["PEIGenericConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
string strSelect = @"SELECT [clientFirst] AS 'First Name', [clientMI] AS 'MI', [clientLast] AS 'Last Name', CONVERT(VARCHAR, [dob], 111) AS 'DOB' FROM [Individual_Client] WHERE [programNameID] = @programNameID";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strSelect, connection);
connection.Open();
cmd.Parameters.Add("@programNameID", SqlDbType.Int, 2);
cmd.Parameters["@programNameID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["programNameID"]);
SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
ad.Fill(dt);
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
else
return;
}

try DataView dv = dt.DefaultView;
also check you filter expression. Note it should be like sql WHERE clause, ie string parameters, for example, must be in quotes

I tried setting my dv.RowFilter property but the gridview component isn't showing up at all. I might be missing something altogether that I will need to figure out on my own. Logically, should dv.RowFilter be assigned my filter AFTER DataBind()?
Thanks for your reply!
