BindingSource Filter on deeply nested property

I'm having some difficulty finding the correct syntax for filtering a bindingsource. The object graph looks like this:

BindingList<MappingObject>.TemplateData.List<Targets>.Code

I need to filter on the Code property so I tried to make it look like

BindingSource.Filter = "Target.Code = 'Something'";

But that doesn't do the trick. Note that there are quite a lot of other things like List<Target> which all have a Code property.

Solution

  • Ultimately we solved it by using the filtering capabilities of the XtraGrid GridView itself.

    gridViewOrders.ActiveFilterString = string.Format("Order LIKE '%{0}%'", order.Name);
