Hi,
I have a requirement to show dynamic grid. Under dynamic it's meant that following model should be displayed in the grid:
Row-1---*-Cell
Eg: there are objects Row and Cell with following information:
I need show this table structure on the grid with following in mind:
Can you suggest me the best way of implementing it with RadGrid?
Dynamically creating GridColumns I have no way to tell what should be rendered in a grid cell.
I probably need to implement custom GridColumn but not sure what I have to override and where a value comes from.
Thanks,
Dmitriy.
I have a requirement to show dynamic grid. Under dynamic it's meant that following model should be displayed in the grid:
Row-1---*-Cell
Eg: there are objects Row and Cell with following information:
- Row can have zero or many cells of different types.
- Row can have zero or one cell of the same type.
- Cell can be in one and only one row.
- Number of cells in different rows might be different.
I need show this table structure on the grid with following in mind:
- Each row on the grid represents a Row object
- Each Cell on the grid represents a cell of the particular row.
- Each column of the grid shows cells of the same type.
Can you suggest me the best way of implementing it with RadGrid?

Hi nagir,
One possible option in this case would be to use template columns, and dynamically toggle on/off their visibility, thus meeting the requirement to have different number of cells on each row. This also gives you a great degree of flexibility with respect to the controls nested inside.

Yavor,
The Row--Cell model is NOT static as Cell type is not (there might be a lot of them and we cannot know it at design time).
So showing hiding of existing columns (it doesn't matter if it's a template column or a BoundColumn ) just cannot be used.
Anything else?
Only one solution I see is to convert all the model into flat Data Table and bind it to the grid autogenerating columns.

Hello nagir,
The rows in the grid must have consistent and identical structure. You can, at a later moment, hide some of the elements, and alter the span of the neighboring elements, however the structure must remain constant and identical, rather than having each row be of a different type.
