Datasource FilterExpressio n fails for string fields

VS 2005
C#
ASP.NET
I have a Gridview which is filled from an objectdatasourc e. I have some
filtering - which works perfectly when the field to be filtered is an
INT.

dscIssues.Filte rExpression += " and (assignedtoid = 1)" works ok

but if i filter on a string field is doesnt bring back any records

eg
dscIssues.Filte rExpression += " and (name= 'tom')" fails

ive tried creating a FilterParamater as well, but it also fails

The syntax is correct, and filter expresion does work with strings, it is
likely that you have a logical error somehwere in the code that is creating a
different filter expression than you are expecting. Have you tried filtering
for strings by simply setting the complete FilterExpressio n property in one
line of code, rather than adding a where clause on at a later date. If that
works OK i would get your code to output the FilterExpresion property at
various points in the code so that you can track what is causing the problem.

Hello, on my page, I have a DetailsViewControl connected to a SqlDataSource. Now when I dynamically set the FilterExpression and FilterParameters - for example in a OnClick-EventHandler of a button - the DetailsView shows the filtered Data, but Deleting and Updating doesn't work anymore. The DetailsView changes to EditMode, but after clicking on the UpdateButton it shows the old data. Am I missing something or is it just not possible or...

Hi, I've got a Gridview utilizing a filterexpression: <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" runat="server" OnDeleted="ItemDeleted" EnableCaching="true" SqlCacheDependency="APP_TIMESHEET:AB" CacheKeyDependency="AB" SelectMethod="GetABs" TypeName="RetrieveABData" DeleteMethod="DeleteAB"

When I set a SqlDataSource1.FilterExpression value to " Partnumber LIKE '87-2055-___'" , SqlDataSource return empty. But I can get correct result in SQL query by including above expression. I also found that FilterExpression only support % (Any string of zero or more characters) in the end of string. For example, "Partnumber LIKE '87-2055-%' (OK). But "Partnumber LIKE '87-20%-012'" (Error). Could anyone give an explanation?

I know this sounds nuts, but how do I remove the following filter from a Object Datasource that looks at my business layer... ODSDefaultUserProfiles.FilterExpression = "AllowedWebPage = '" + m_SelectedPageName + "'"; I tried the obvious ones such as ODSDefaultUserProfiles.FilterExpression = ""; forcing a select(), databind(); all to no avail

My SELECTCOMMAND for my sqldatasource is: select alertid,subject,createdt,eventid,eventname, statuscd,trgid from vwAlerts order by createdt desc Now, based on a fiew input fields, I put together a WHERE clause for the filterexpression. For example, this filterexpression works great:
