RadListView Filtering with RadFilter

RadFilter can be used to build complex filtering criteria by means of intuitive visual UI and depending on the data type of the underlying source fields. To use RadFilter to filter data in RadLsitView, you need to set the FilterContainerID property of RadFilter or handler the ApplyExpressions server event of RadFilter.

Using the FilterContainerID property

<telerik:RadFilter RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadFilter1" FilterContainerID="RadListView1" />
<telerik:RadListView ID="RadListView1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" PageSize="6"
    AllowPaging="True" runat="server" ItemPlaceholderID="ProductsHolder" DataKeyNames="OrderID">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div class="rlvA" style="height: 120px; width: 270px; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 2px;
            margin-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 10px; border-style: none">
            <fieldset style="height: 100%">
                <table>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <strong>OrderID:</strong>
                            <asp:Label ID="OrderIDLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("OrderID") %>' /><br />
                            <strong>Order date:</strong>
                            <asp:Label ID="OrderDateLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# ((DateTime)Eval("OrderDate")).ToString() %>' /><br />
                            <strong>Ship city:</strong>
                            <asp:Label ID="ShipCityLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ShipCity") %>' /><br />
                            <strong>Ship country:</strong>
                            <asp:Label ID="ShipCountryLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ShipCountry") %>' /><br />
                            <strong>Ship name:</strong>
                            <asp:Label ID="ShipNameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ShipName") %>' /><br />
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <img src="Img/ordertracking.gif" alt="" />
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </fieldset>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <LayoutTemplate>
        <fieldset>
            <legend style="margin-left: 20px">Orders</legend>
            <div class="RadListView RadListViewFloated RadListView_Default">

                        </Fields>
                    </telerik:RadDataPager>
                </div>
            </div>
