Heres a sample structure
Area->Student->Person
So I want to have a combo box which contains every person who exists in Area. However the DataTextField exists way back in Person. So I can get that by navigating up the reference fields in the code behind, but I have NO idea how to do this in the markup...whenever I try and nest the object like if I set the DS to Area, then do Student.Person.FirstName it will tell me Student or Person isn't a property of Area...
How do I configure the OADataSource to do that?

Hi Steve,

I would advice you to have a look in this blog post. The blog post explains how to handle hierarchical set of data. Even though the blog is targeted at our data source in combination with a rad grid the same is achieved with combo box as well. I hope you find the blog post useful.
Please do contact us if you face any problems.
