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. This example demonstrates the integration between RadFilter and .Net 3.5/4.0 DataSourceControls such as LinqDataSource, EntityDataSource and OpenAccessDataSource.

To filter the .NET 35/.NET 4 data source control directly, you need to specify the DataSourceControlID property of RadFilter.
