A Richer DynamicFilterRepeater – Updated for April Release

Posted by jheyse on April 11th, 2008

This week the Dynamic Data team has released a new drop of the runtime and templates.  It is substantially different and they have made many improvements to the design.  These changes, as expected, broke a significant portion of the Dynamic Filter controls I have been working on.  Last night I dug into the new bits and was able to breath life back into the dynamic filtering. 

Once I had finished doing symbolic renames on many of the properties and types renamed from the Decmeber CTP, I ran into several issues with the reflection based code I have written to inject the advanced querying capabilities into the existing controls.  I am going to start documenting what I have had to ‘hack’ to make the dynamic querying work.  Hopefully I can work with team members within Microsoft to promote some of the methods and types to the public. 

Here are some screen shots of the new implementation:
