Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property AutoGenerateFilter As Boolean

Type: System.Boolean
true if filtering is automatically displayed; otherwise, false.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | The property does not contain a value when trying to retrieve the value. |
Remarks
You set the AutoGenerateFilter property to explicitly override the default behavior of the presentation layer. For example, if a control automatically generates user-interface elements that include filtering capabilities, you can use this property to disable filtering for particular fields.
Use the GetAutoGenerateFilter method to retrieve the value of the AutoGenerateFilter property. The GetAutoGenerateFilter method returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the AutoGenerateFilter property has not been set, but the get accessor of the AutoGenerateFilter property throws an exception if the property is not set.
