Class RecordFilterDescriptor

Represents a class for RecordFilterDescriptor that provides filter criteria for displaying only a subset of records from the underlying datasource. A filter can be specified through a collection of FilterCondition elements or with a formula expression similar to expressions used in ExpressionFieldDescriptor.

RecordFilterDescriptors are managed by the RecordFilterDescriptorCollection that is returned by the RecordFilters property of a TableDescriptor.
