Column Binding Problem

[Celso]

Hi,

I have two set of objects, that are related in the following way:

public class MyObject1
{
   private MyObject2 _o2 = new MyObject2() { Address = "CR" };
   public MyObject2 O2
   {
            get
            {
                return _o2;
            }
            set
            {
                _o2 = value;
            }
        }

        public string Name
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }

    public class MyObject2
    {
        public string Address
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }

And I am binding the following set of properties on the grid:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="radGridView1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Name" IsGroupable="True" IsReadOnly="False" IsFilterable="True" HeaderText="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" />
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Address" IsGroupable="True" IsReadOnly="False" IsFilterable="True" DataMemberBinding="{Binding O2.Address}" HeaderText="Address" />
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>

But after doing this binding the column binded to O2.Addres can´t be modified, grouped, filter. So I will like to know if this can be performed in some way.

Thanks

Hello Celso,

You have stumbled upon a problem that appears to be a glitch in the control. We have logged it in our To-Do list and we will start looking into it right away.

As a workaround I suggest that you use the DataMemberPath instead of the DataMemeberBinding by simply setting the property path for the second column. You will also need to specify the data-type of the second column and make the binding mode of the first column two-way if you need editing:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="radGridView1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Address" DataMemberPath="O2.Address" DataType="{x:Type system:String}" HeaderText="Address" />

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

If you encounter other issues, we will greatly appreciate your feedback.

Exactly.  I am experiencing exactly the same problem.

Normally in our Architecture we have View objects and nested we have the real domain objects which are normally the context for the databinding..

Using your trick/workaround works fine.

 The only disadvantage seems to be that the datatype is "required". 

Are there any other disadvantage of using DataMemberPath ?

Is this problem already fixed for next release?

if you use UniqueName for a column. It works fine with both DataMemberPath and DataMemeberBinding.
