Update:
We made updates on the grid drop down column and now it can support the following filter types:
- select
- select-int
- select-long (only in linq query approach)
- easy to use multi language support
- compatible with MVC 5/6

Short instructions about using the new column:

CustomGrid.CustomGrid.column(“Int DropDown Filter”, “{1}”, new string[]{“ID”, “FirstName”}, ViewBag.DropDownList, true, “left”, “select-int”)
or
CustomGrid.CustomGrid.column(“Int DropDown Filter”, “ID”, ViewBag.DropDownList, true, “left”, “select-int”)

The logic is included in “Example 5” in demo project (see changes on SampleGrid5() method in home controller and changes made in /View/Home/SampleGrid5.cshtml)
