While trying to find out why my filtering was having no effect I cam across this post:

http://community.entityspaces.net/forums/post/1063.aspx

Indeed, when I set a breakpoint I can see the value of SupportsFiltering is false.  Why?

I can apply my filter to the esCollection and it works perfect, but if I apply it to the BindingSource it has no effect.  Problem is... I NEED to apply it to the BindingSource.

So... what's the deal?  I'm using version:  2007.1.1119.0 - Yes, I know it's old but I don't upgrade unless I absolutley MUST.  If an upgrade will fix the issue I'm seeing then I will upgrade.

Thanks for any help,

Steve 

Steve, this hasn't been addressed, but I will boost this up and fix it in ES2008, I will post back when I find more, I can't imagine why it's not working?

Bueno.

How long might a guy be waiting before 08' is out?

HA!  I just found a bug after about a 20 minute hunt and it turns out it was related to a column not being part of a query.  Not amazing, agreed.. however, it wouldn't have happened if I was using SelectAllExcept() and in fact is the very code that made me suggest the feature in the first place.

So I guess I DO have a reason to upgrade!   

Just an FYI, ES2008 is in beta still and that is where SelectAllExcept() is. I am glad you tracked it down.

I'm trying to filter the BindingSource.  Like:::  BusinessesCollectionBindingSource.Filter = "BusinessName = '" & TextBoxLookupBusinessName.Text & "'"

It isn't working and noticed that SupportsFiltering is still false.  Has this been fixed? 

I'm running a trial version that I downloaded yesterday. (EntitySpaces Version # 2008.1.0811.0)

You would have to Filter the collection, However, we are working on a maintenance release so I will look at this and report back.

I realize it's only been 6 days but I'm wondering if you've had a chance to check this out.  This would be a good reason to get current with ES if I knew this would be coming.

Any update?
