Resolution

List filter plus allows two types of connections:

1. Query WebPart connection. The connection allows you to get full CAML query from List FilterPlus web part and use it in your code.

Example:

private IFilterValues _QueryFilter= null;

[ConnectionConsumer("Query", "IFilterValues", AllowsMultipleConnections = false)]

public void SetConnectionInterface(IFilterValues filterProvider)

{

    if (filterProvider != null)

    {

        _QueryFilter = filterProvider;

        List<ConsumerParameter> l = new List<ConsumerParameter>();

        l.Add(new ConsumerParameter("Query", ConsumerParameterCapabilities.SupportsMultipleValues | ConsumerParameterCapabilities.SupportsAllValue));

        filterProvider.SetConsumerParameters(new ReadOnlyCollection<ConsumerParameter>(l));

            }

}

public string GetCAMLQUery()

{

            string camlQuery = "";

    if (_QueryFilter != null && _QueryFilter.ParameterValues != null && _QueryFilter.ParameterValues.Count > 0)

        camlQuery = _QueryFilter.ParameterValues[0];

            return camlQuery;

}

2. TableViewer WebPart connection. The connection allows you to get DataTable

The connection uses KWizCom.Contracts.TableViewer.IWebPartTable_TableViewer interface whyich defined in KWizCom.Foundation.dll assembly
