Confused about filters and datalists

I have adapted the custom filter web part (from the KB) to suit my needs, but I am a bit confused with the application of it to various lists

If I Link a BasicDataList to DocumentsDataSource to MyFilter everything works like a charm. It filters the content of the BasicDataList as expected.

Unfortunately BasicDataList don't have paging, so I used a Datalist instead assigning it MyFilter as a Content Filter.
Now it doesn't matter how I try to change the "WHERE" clause of the filter. The DataList always return all items.

What Am I doing wrong here? I cant seem to get a working combination using both Filter and Paging in a List/Repeater

So, could you please check this class? Best regards, Michal Legen
