'Usage Dim instance As SelectionRange Dim value As Predicate(Of Object) value = instance.Filter
public Predicate<object> Filter {get;}
The filter predicated to be used to filter the items locally (see Remarks section). Can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Predicates (i.e., filter parameters of various SelectionRange constructors) are executed locally, meaning that when the BeginGetSelectedItems and EndGetSelectedItems methods are called and a selection range that provides a predicate is used, items will be retrieved from the server in order to determine those that pass the filter.
If one or more start and end range information is provided and/or a filter expression, only the items that are not already excluded by the range information and filter expression will be retrieved.
In a virtualized environment, it is not recommended to use the filter predicate unless dealing with a very limited number of items.
For more information and examples on selecting data, refer to the Selecting Data topic.
