How to Selectively Databind Details Views

[tful]

I have a hierarchy grid, with 5 details GridViews. In the top-level item, I know which details views will have data.

Is there a way to prevent details gridviews from databinding(query to DB) based on values from the top-level item   ?

What I do is use programmatic binding to get the key value from the parent row and know whether to bind the detail table. I used the demo below to learn about it:
