I have requirement for hierarchal data grid. I'm binding the grid's datasource with a collection.
Each of the item within that collection has another collection as a Property.
Is there a way to bind the grid in such a way that , it automatically takes the inner collection as datasource for DetailsTable,
whereas the outercollection as datasource for MasterTableView ?
The telerik eg., i have seen, have datasource provided exclusively for both MasterTableview as well as Detailtable and the relation between them specifed using ParentTableRelation.
In my case, i have the relation between master & detail maintained in my collection. So binding the grid in NeedDatasource event and specifying the DataMember property declaritively should work.
let me know if you think i'm missing something ,
I donot wish to maintain two different datasource , as i have lot of grid operations.

This example demonstrates RadGrid's capability to auto-generate a hierarchical representation of a mutli-table DataSet. Just set the AutogenerateHierarchy property of RadGrid to true and it will automatically generate the hierarchy based on the tables in the DataSet and their relations with one another.
Give it a try and see if it works for you.

I'm not using Dataset but Collections as my datasource.So in that case , Autogenerate Hierarchy would not work as relations are not maintained in collections

Generally you will need at least two DataSource controls to have hierarchy RadGrid. In the DetailTableDataBind event handler you can assign or configure the data sources for the detail tables in the grid. You can determine which datasource should be related to the parent GridTableView by checking the Name property, DataSourceID property (when using data source controls) or DataMember property (when not using data source controls). Refer to this article for more information.
