RadListView with DataGrouping - how to display data

[Gordon]

I'm writing a page which will show a list of artists and a selection of their artworks. In terms of structure it's very much like the demo here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/listview/examples/datagrouping/defaultcs.aspx

Layout will be:

Artist (name/description/rating)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
Artist (name/description/rating)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
Artist (name/description/rating)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)
-- Artwork (title/image/price)

My SQL query returns all the data on artists and artworks. I can bind this to my RadListView and get the artwork records looking OK by setting them to be the ItemPlaceHolder. But  how can I get all the data for each artist such as Name, Description, Rating etc. I cannot understand how to get ANY data on each outer record except for the value of the DataKeyName. It is not exposed through <%# Eval("ArtistName") %>. 

Here is some code:

<telerik:RadListView ID="SupplierRadListView" runat="server" ItemPlaceholderID="WorkPlaceHolder" OnItemDataBound="SupplierRadListView_ItemDataBound" 
    PageSize="20" AllowPaging="true" DataKeyNames="MemberID">
    <LayoutTemplate>
        <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="ArtistPlaceHolder">

            <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="WorksPlaceHolder">
            </asp:Panel>
        </asp:Panel>
    </LayoutTemplate>
    <DataGroups>
        
        <telerik:ListViewDataGroup GroupField="MemberID" DataGroupPlaceholderID="ArtistPlaceHolder">
            <DataGroupTemplate>
                <div style="float: left; width: 200px;">
                <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ArtistLiteral" />
                
                </div>
                <asp:Panel runat="server" ID="WorkPlaceHolder" />
            </DataGroupTemplate>
        </telerik:ListViewDataGroup>
    </DataGroups>
    <GroupSeparatorTemplate>
        <hr />
    </GroupSeparatorTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div class="work_outer">
            <div class="work_inner">
                <%# Eval("Title") %>
            </div>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadListView>

Hi Gordon,

I am afraid that the requested functionality is not supported out of the box by RadListView control, because ListViewDataGroupItem does not contain this information. Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused.
