Hi,

I am using Telerik components in my project and I am trying to use a Server Filtering. To be able to do that, I need to send a parameter from Blazor side to Application Service to filter/sort/group my records as per the grid parameters.

It is working fine, but, when I add some filter, it is raising an exception on Blazor side before calling the method in the Application Service. I am struggling to understand what is wrong with that.

Here is the error in the console:

My Application Service:

 [HttpPost]
public async Task<DataEnvelope<OutageReportDto>> GetOutageReportList([FromBody] DataSourceRequest request)
{
    try
    {
        var time = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1);
        var outageList = _outageReportRepository
            .Include(x => x.SupplyNetwork).Include(x => x.Cause)
            .Where(x => x.TenantId == CurrentTenant.Id.Value)
            .Where(x => x.RecordedTime >= time)
            .Select(x => ObjectMapper.Map<OutageReport, OutageReportDto>(x)).ToList();

        var output = await outageList.ToDataSourceResultAsync(request);

        DataEnvelope<OutageReportDto> dataToReturn;

        if (request.Groups != null && request.Groups.Count > 0)
        {
            // If there is grouping, use the field for grouped data
            // The app must be able to serialize and deserialize it
            // Example helper methods for this are available in this project
            // See the GroupDataHelper.DeserializeGroups and JsonExtensions.Deserialize methods
            dataToReturn = new DataEnvelope<OutageReportDto>
            {
                GroupedData = output.Data.Cast<AggregateFunctionsGroup>().ToList(),
                TotalItemCount = output.Total
            };
        }
        else
        {
            // When there is no grouping, the simplistic approach of 
            // just serializing and deserializing the flat data is enough
            dataToReturn = new DataEnvelope<OutageReportDto>
            {
                CurrentPageData = output.Data.Cast<OutageReportDto>().ToList(),
                TotalItemCount = output.Total
            };
        }

        return dataToReturn;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Error: ", ex.Message);
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
        throw;
    }

    we are not experienced in Telerik components but will check this. by the way did you find a solution?

    Based on stackstrace message it seems the problem is with one of your model members. I see that all your Data grid fields are defined with nameof except for Location, eg. <GridColumn Field="Location" FieldType="@(typeof(string))" Title="@L["OutageReportGrid.Location"]" />. Maybe that is the problem? Also can you show us the OutageReportDto class?

    I'm not that familiar with Telerik systems but I remember that Blazor don't work well with generic types when accesed through JSInterop. That is the only thing that comes to my mind regarding the error message. Maybe Telerik is doing something under the hood that could make trouble.

    Hi Alper.

    I haven't found a solution so far. Temporarily, I changed my grid to client-side operations, so, it wlll peform all operation on client side (filter, group, sort).

    Hi mladen.macanovic, I did the test again changing the string for the method nameof, but that haven't changing nothing. I think the problem is when parsing the object DataSourceRequest into Json for the method. The method by itself is not called. I guess it would be easier to be reproduced.

    Here is my class OutageReportDto:

    public class OutageReportDto : AuditedEntityDto<int>, IMultiTenant
        {
            public Guid? TenantId { get; set; }
            public int SupplyNetworkId { get; set; }
            public string SupplyNetworkName { get; set; }
            public DateTime RecordedTime { get; set; }
            public string Location { get; set; }
            
            public string Suburb { get; set; }
            public int CauseId { get; set; }
            public string CauseName { get; set; }
            public string ContactPhoneNumber { get; set; }
            public double LatitudeReporter { get; set; }
            public double LongitudeReporter { get; set; }
            public double LatitudeLocator { get; set; }
            public double LongitudeLocator { get; set; }
            public DateTime? NotifiedTime { get; set; }
            public new DateTime CreationTime { get; set; }
        }
    

    Notice, if I change the grid to Client-Side filter, where I just call a service method with no parameters to return a complete List<OutageReporterDto>, it works fine. So, I don't think that there's an issue with my grid or my Dto class. The problem is only when calling the service method with a parameter type DataSourceRequest and there is a Filter item in this object. If there is no filter items the method works fine.

    Hi,

    Any progress on this item? I am still getting errors. Currently, I'm working in a different project and It will be required using Server side filtering. Even updating the framework to 4.3.0 the issue is still happening.

    Hi again @Leonardo.Willrich, can you change your OnReadHandler method as below?

    protected async Task OnReadHandler(GridReadEventArgs args)
    {
        LastRequest = args.Request;
        List<IFilterDescriptor> filters = null;
        if (LastRequest.Filters.Any())
        {
            var filterDescriptors = LastRequest.Filters.SelectMemberDescriptors().ToList();
            if (filterDescriptors.Any())
            {
                filters = new List<IFilterDescriptor>();
                foreach (var filter in filterDescriptors)
                {
                    filters.Add(new FilterDescriptor { Member = filter.Member, Operator = filter.Operator, Value = filter.Value });
                }
             }
        }
    
        LastRequest.Filters = filters;
        await LoadData();
    }
    
    • FilterDescriptor class has a variable named MemberType and wrong value is assigned this variable automattically.

    If it does not work for you, please let me know. If it works you can close the question.

    That worked like a charm. Good catch. Thank you very much!
