Pre-filtering in a Kendo grid

I am trying to pre-filter a kendo grid, and I have a problem. For pre-sorting and pre-grouping I am using first 2 lines, that work great: 

grid.DataSource(ds =>
{
    var ajaxDsBuilder = ds.Ajax();
    // ...
    ajaxDsBuilder.Sort(sort => sort.Add(col.Name).Ascending());
    ajaxDsBuilder.Group(grp => grp.Add(col.Name, typeof(string)));

      // problem at the next line with filter
    ajaxDsBuilder.Filter(f=> f.Add(c=>col.Name.ToString()).IsEqualTo("something"));

which is giving me a server error after running.

For pre-filtering I found this :

.Filter(filter => filter.Add(/* your filter rule */))

If I remove the ToString() I get the error: Property with specified name: col.Name cannot be found on type: System.Data.DataRowView

If I try: ajaxDsBuilder.Filter(f=> f.Add(c=> c.col.Name).IsEqualTo("something"));

I get the error:

An expression tree may not contain a dynamic operation

I have also tried to use dynamic lambda but the same problems appear ...

What am I missing? P.S. I am new to all this, so any help will be highly appreciated.

I answered the same question on Telerik forum and I got my answer:

.Filter(filter => filter.AddRange(new [] { new Kendo.Mvc.FilterDescriptor(col.Name, Kendo.Mvc.FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, "TEST") })

In case someone needs this :)
