Hi all,

I have stumbled upon a problem. I am giving the opportunity to the user to search items. However I need to know the data type of the field which is being searched upon so that I can make some inferences on this data type. Is there any way to do it? I know that there is a property where you can set the data type for the column which is displayed in grid. However can I get this type when the search is submitted to the server ????

Thanks

Hello,

Little difficult, but not impossible:

Some advises.

You should definne a sorttype property in colModel for the searched (or all) fields.

One possible solution is to use the serializeGridData event.

In this event you can check if the serch is lunched _serach = true.

Depending on the search type (multiple/single) you can get the needed data and see which field(s) is (are) in search and then get its type from colModel and post it to the server.

I solved it using server side code. Basically I am using LINQ and finding the data type using .NET. But thanks anyway.
