The following example shows how to disable the filter for the Employee1 field.

<MetadataType(GetType(EmployeeMD))>  _
Public Class Employee

    Public Class EmployeeMD

        <Display(Name:="Last Name", Order:=-9, _
           Prompt:="Enter Last Name", Description:="Emp Last Name")>  _
        Public Property LastName As Object
        End Property

        <Display(Name:="Manager", AutoGenerateFilter:=false)>  _
        Public Property Employee1 As Object
        End Property
    End Class
End Class
