Filters

To request filtered data on initial load, configure the filters with the FilterDescriptorFactory. The ToDataSourceResult() extension method will return only the filtered data in the response object.

• The Filter method sets the initial filters.

    @(Html.Kendo().DataSource<ProductViewModel>()
        .Name("myDataSource")
        .Ajax(datasource => datasource
            .Read(read => read.Action("Products_Read", "Home"))
            .Filter(filters =>
            {
                //Show products whose ProductName property contains a "C".
                filters.Add(product => product.ProductName).Contains("C");
                //Show products whose UnitsInStock is greater than 10.
                filters.Add(product => product.UnitsInStock).IsGreaterThan(10);
            })
        )
    )
