DevExpress AspxGridView filter in ObjectDataSource

Question

Yet another problem with DevExpress AspxGridView :)

The context:

• One Page
• In the Page, a custom control
• In the custom Control, a AspxDropDown
• The AspxDropDown has a DropDownWindowTemplate
• In the DropDownItemTemplate, I add a GridView and a paging/sorting/filtering enabled ObjectDataSource
• When handling the selecting event of the ObjectDataSource, I should set filter parameters for the datasource. There filter parameters should come from the FilterRow of the AspxGridView (preferably using the AspxGridView.FilterExpression property).

The problem: the AspxGridView.FilterExpression property is not set to the proper values (set by the user).

Did anyone find a good implementation of what I'm trying to do here?

Thanks a bunch.

:)

I've finally managed to get around the problem.

Not a good solution, but, still, a way to work around it.

So.. The "solution" is to databind the grid on every AfterPerformCallback event.

void grid_AfterPerformCallback(object sender, ASPxGridViewAfterPerformCallbackEventArgs e)
    {
        ((DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridView.ASPxGridView)sender).DataBind();
    }

As I've said, it's not a good solution.
