<asp:ControlFilterExpression ControlID="GridViewID" Column="Category"/>
</asp:QueryExtender>
Remarks
If this property is empty, the ControlFilterExpression control treats the selected data key as the primary key of the current table. This is useful in a list-details scenario where source and target data-bound controls operate on data from the same table.
If you assign a value to the property, the ControlFilterExpression control treats the data key as a foreign key. The value assigned to this property becomes the name of the column that is displayed in the target data-bound control. This is useful in a parent-child scenario where the target data-bound control operates on data from the child table and the source data-bound control operates on data from the parent table.
