Introduction

This article presents an ASP.NET DataGrid with ability to filter based on column values.

Details

I tried to keep the code simple. This code uses JavaScript method filtergrid to build QueryString for the URL. The datasource is filtered based on QueryString values.

In the code-behind file, the FillDataGridColumns method creates the column headers with HTML textbox and button.

Scope of further development

• At present, this control handles String and Double datatypes only. It can be modified to handle other datatypes.
• Filter works on single value only and can not search for multiple values.

All your suggestions and comments are welcome.

Conclusion

The use of basic JavaScript and code-behind file helps to enhance the functionality of the DataGrid control.
