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

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.

Regards

Tony

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
