Data filtering refers to setting conditions on data so that only specific data is displayed. Filtered data is easier to analyze and allows you to focus on specific information in a large set of data. DataFilter for WinForms is a control which allows users to filter data on the basis of filter criterias or conditions. It can be used in conjunction with data-aware controls like grids, lists, treeview, charts, maps, and others.

The control gives users a way to focus on the subsets of data. There are many components that offer filtering options like column filtering in grids but when users need to filter all the information on the screen, DataFilter can help with quick filtering at one place using different value and expression based filters.
