Unhandled exception in Filter Extension

Question

There is an unhandled exception in Filter Extension:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Filter-Control-for-Visual-90fb8e93
To reproduce:
Use filter with a query linked referencing at least 2 tables (entities) eg.: Products and Categories, and while choosing a clause in a filter choose the name of entity (parent node) instead of field inside eg.:
Where Category equals Beverages
instead of
Where Category.Name equals Beverages.
This will throw an exception:
"Cannot convert Beverages to entity type".

As I think this is a great extension it would be worth fixing the code in the sample for download

Answer 2

The extension has been updated to fix the issue.  You'll need to remove the version with your project and add the new one.
