No, I simply want the built in filtering of uxgridview to provide filter options based on the itemssource of the uxgridview.  So if there are 100 items in my grid and I am filtering by category which only has 10 possible options.  I don't want all 100 items to show up in my filter box. I simply want the 10.  It seems that this should be built in somehow but I feel I am missing something.

Thanks for the reply, I am not using Entity Framework but a third party ORM (Telerik) so I was going to simply construct a collection and pass it at run time.  when creating/editing a datasource through your designer is there a certain property type that I should be using or what is the best approach in my case.
