To reproduce: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); BindingList<Item> items = new BindingList<Item>(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { items.Add(new Item(i,"Item" + i , DeliveryType.Type1)); } for (int i = 10; i < 20; i++) { items.Add(new Item(i, "Item" + i, DeliveryType.Type2)); } for (int i = 20; i < 30; i++) { items.Add(new Item(i, "Item" + i, DeliveryType.Type3)); } this.radGridView1.DataSource = items; this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill; this.radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true; CompositeFilterDescriptor compositeFilter = new CompositeFilterDescriptor(); compositeFilter.FilterDescriptors.Add(new FilterDescriptor("DeliveryType", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, DeliveryType.Type2)); compositeFilter.FilterDescriptors.Add(new FilterDescriptor("DeliveryType", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, DeliveryType.Type3)); compositeFilter.LogicalOperator = FilterLogicalOperator.Or; this.radGridView1.FilterDescriptors.Add(compositeFilter); } public class Item { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public DeliveryType DeliveryType { get; set; } public Item(int id, string name, DeliveryType deliveryType) { this.Id = id; this.Name = name; this.DeliveryType = deliveryType; } } public enum DeliveryType { Type1, Type2, Type3 } Workaround: use custom filtering: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/filtering/custom-filtering
