The method or operation is not implemented error when we set the filter to "StartsWith"

Hi,

We are using RadGridView to display data from the DataTable. In one of the column we have selected "StartsWith" has the filter. After setting the filter if we close and re open the view, we are getting the following error and the application crashes. This is once we load the layout even before Data is loaded.

System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.

   at System.Collections.Generic.List`1..ctor(IEnumerable`1 collection)
   at System.Linq.Enumerable.ToList[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)

After digging through the column properties, I found out that FilterMemberType was null. Once I set the property to string type. Its not throwing error anymore.

Please let me know is it the right way to do it or if you have any better solution.

Thanks and regards,

Alex
