I have to get the value of the filter and store it and then re-apply this filter value back to the datagridview after refresh. Please suggest the most efficient way to do this.

What I have tried:

I tried getting the filter from datagridview.datasource and in the immediate window I can see the filter string applied, but I do not know how to get the value of the filter from the datagridview.datasource.

Try this (I found it with google). If you don't mind the fake news filtering, it's agreat place to get code.

(dataGridViewFields.DataSource as DataTable).DefaultView.RowFilter = string.Format("Field = '{0}'", textBoxFilter.Text);
