How to change the radgrid case sensetiveness using webconfig?

Question

Hi , since Grid filter is case sensitive , i used the code below RadGrid1.GroupingSettings.CaseSensitive = false; Can weconfigure the same thing webconfig so that in the whole project case sensitiveness of radfilter will be false.

My gut feeling on this is that you can't explicitly set properties of controls from the web.config.

I can come up with a couple ways to do this though:

1.) Make a custom control that inherits from RadGrid. In this control, default the GroupingSettings.CaseSensitive property to false. In this case; anywhere you use this control will have case insensitive filtering; unless its explicitly enabled.

2.) Make a custom control that inherits from radgrid, but instead of defaulting the CaseSensitive property to false; set it to a variable you have in your web.config. Such as:

RadGrid1.GroupingSettings.CaseSensitive = (bool)ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["RadgridFilterCaseSensitivity"];

This will make it specific to each application; however you'll need to include the web.config key in each project you use it in.
