RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX A unique feature for Telerik RadGrid is the support for hierarchical representation of related data tables (DataSet).
Master Table
The MasterTableView is the topmost table of the hierarchical structure. It is a GridTableView Class with GridTableViewCollection Class. The collection holds the so called DetailTables - tables related to the fields of the MasterTable. Each DetailTable can have its own GridTableViewCollection with other Detail Tables, thus forming the hierarchical structure.
You can look on the MasterTable as a Root for the hierarchical tree. All tables underneath will be the tree nodes. The MasterTable is an object and has own sections of properties in Visual Studio.
Detail Tables
Detail tables are the inner tables of the grid. They are related to a field in its parent table.
Each Detail Table is placed in an item (row) of its parent table. This special item is called NestedViewItem.
