I have a DataGrid and one of the column within which is a date field. I'd like to set a filter on the column to only return the records which have today's date in this column when the page is first opened.
It appears that I should be using the "FilterValue" property on the column but, I am struggling to get this to work. I've tried binding this property to a page variable or (for a test) just entering the today's date into the FilterValue property field wrapped in single quotes but, with no joy. I either see the date in data grid's filter field at runtime and get no data back or, the page won't compile.
I presume I'm not setting this property correctly to do what I want so, can you give me some pointers? I've got the column setup as follows:
I've defined InitialDateFilter in the page Load handler and tried giving is various values such as 'EQ 12/11/2020', '12/11/2020' and ${new Date().toDateString()} all without success
Thanks for that and I've got this working perfectly up to a point. If I test it on a field which is a string or a number, I can get the initial filtering to work per the link you provided and if I set the columns FilterValue to the defaultOrderID property, it displays the value within the datagrid's filter selection row which is perfect.
However, if I try to use a date field, I get an error in Chrome:
Is there anything different that I should be doing for a date field? The filtering works fine but, getting the filtered value to show in the datagrid's filter selection row seems to be the sticking point?
