You need to create a custom control that inherits the base NewsView class and override the CreateFilter method:

    
            using System; 
        
            using System.Data; 
        
            using System.Configuration; 
        
            using System.Web; 
        
            using System.Web.UI; 
        
            using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; 
        
            using System.Web.UI.WebControls; 
        
            using Telerik.News.WebControls; 
        
            using Telerik.Cms.Engine; 
        
            using System.Collections.Generic; 
        
            /// <summary> 
        
            /// Summary description for LatestNews 
        
            /// </summary> 
        
            namespace Telerik.News.WebControls 
        
            { 
        
                public class LatestNews : NewsView 
        
                { 
        
                    //Overwrite CreateFilter function so that we can apply our custom filter 
        
                    protected override IMetaSearchInfo[] CreateFilter() 
        
                    { 
        
                        IMetaSearchInfo[] defaultContentViewFilter = base.CreateFilter(); 
        
                        List<IMetaSearchInfo> newFilter = new List<IMetaSearchInfo>(defaultContentViewFilter); 
        
                        DateTime date = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1); 
        
                        MetaSearchInfo filter = new MetaSearchInfo(MetaValueTypes.DateTime, "Publication_Date", date, SearchCondition.GreaterOrEqual); 
        
                        newFilter.Add(filter); 
        
                        return newFilter.ToArray(); ; 
        
                    } 
        
                } 
        
            }

You should then register the LatestNews control in the <toolboxControls> section of the application web.config in order to display it in the Add Controls toolbox:

    
            <add name="Latest News" section="News" type="Telerik.News.WebControls.LatestNews, App_Code"/>
