ASP.NET GridView Ajax Data Filter Control

I was looking for an ASP.net 2.0 custom control that enables the user to filter the data in a GridView control by adding filters to the GridView. The control can be found in applications such as Microsoft BI Studio. So I decided to develop a web based control that will do such thing.

note:
1-ASP.NET Ajax Extensions must be installed in your VS.NET evironment.
2-GridView must be placed inside Ajax UpdatePanel.
3-You don't have to add ScriptManager inside your aspx page since the control contains one.
4-In case your page has a ScriptManager, you can delete the one inside the custom control.

Here are some pictures demonstrating the use of the control:




Here is the demo of the custom control:

The source code for the control is available here:



update: I uploaded a newer version of the control.
Current version:
1- Adding a session field to the control to enables the user to use the control on any page at the same time, or on the same page with multiple GridView controls.
2- And / Or operators between filters.
3- search for multiple keyword in the same filter by adding a semicolon after each keyword.
4- Adding new filters programmaticaly.
