I have almost exactly the same problem as this thread but I do NOT have the key piece of knowledge to connect an entity data source.

After reading above:
I am missing the boat on this one. I have my data access via Entity Framework and bind an entity data object to the datagrid no problem. I want my second datasource to bind to the NestedView BUT the only option I have is DataSourceID which is expecting a string value that represents, for example, a SQLDataSource object.....but I don't need one I already have my data so how do I get the entity data bound to the nested view...yes I could circumvent the entity and make it work but that would defeat using the entity???
What am I missing?

Hello John,
In this case, you can use a standard hierarchy, and pass the data to the control via the NeedDataSource/DetailTableDataBind event handlers, as shown here:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/detailtabledatabind/defaultcs.aspx
Let me know how this meets your requirements.
