Remarks

Telerik RadGrid introduces a new approach to hierarchical data structures. The innovative in Telerik RadGrid is having a so called MasterTableView. This is the topmost table of the hierarchical structure. It is a GridTableView with GridTableViewCollection. 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. </
