I have a table that has several foreign keys, instead of filtering by the autogenerated dropdown boxes that dynamic data creates I'd like to filter with a custom "Contains" filter or "StartsWith" filter. I've tried using the FilterUIHint attribute but I
get an error when I try to use the filter. How can I make custom filters work with foreign keys?
