HierarchicalDataSource with a Grid doesn't show Details.

[Alexandre]

Hi is the HierarchicalDataSource suppose to work with a Grid?
On the Kendo UI docs http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/framework/hierarchicaldatasource/overview looks like it is suppose to work but, when I tried only the 1st level show on the grid, all the details doesn't appear.

var gridDataSource = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({

    transport: {

        read: {

            url: "/services/BookingTotals.ashx",

            dataType: "json"

        }

    },

    schema: {

        model: {

            id: "Id",

            hasChildren: true,

            children: {

                transport: {

                    read: {

                        url: "/services/LocationBookingTotals.ashx",

                        dataType: "json"

                    }

                },

                schema: {

                    model: {

                        hasChildren: true,

                        id: "LocationId",

                        children: {

                            transport: {

                                read: {

                                    url: "/services/ServClassBookingTotals.ashx",

                                    dataType: "json"

                                }

                            },

                            schema: {

                                model: {

                                    hasChildren: false,

                                    id: "ServiceClassGlobalId",

                                }

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        }

    }

});

$("#grid").kendoGrid({

    groupable: false,

    scrollable: true,

    sortable: true,

    pageable: true,

    dataSource: gridDataSource

});

Am I doing something wrong or the kendo ui grid isn't suppose to work this way?

Hello Alexandre,

The hierarchical dataSource is intended to be used in combination with the TreeView widget and combining it with the Grid is not supported.

To create hierarchy of Grids I suggest you to follow the approach in this online demo.

For reference I added a project which uses single JSON to create the hierarchy. Keep in mind that editing for such single object hierarchy is not supported.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
