A couple of questions about DetailTables

[Lucania]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to RadControls, and have a couple of questions about using DetailTables inside RadGrid.

1. My detail GridTableView has a delete button that uses the Delete Command, and that works fine, but I want another detail grid on the page to be updated (via ajax) when that happens. I added the master RadGrid as a control to initiate an update, and the other grid as the AjaxUpdatedControl, but deleting a detail record does not seem to cause an update in the other detail table. Do I need to do something else to achieve this?

1a. I acheved the result I want using a nested RadGrid in an edit form on the master, and trapping the OnItemDeleted event, but that seems like the long way round, and the UI is more cumbersome, I'd really rather use the DetailTables if I can.

Thanks for any help,

I did this by trapping the DataSource.OnDeleted, and re-binding the detail table there.

Is it possible to provide OnItemDeleted (and Inserted, et al) in the GridTableView as well?

Hi Ross,

You could use Client-side Hierarchy Loading for loading the detail tables without updating the whole grid.
About your second question: ItemCreated, ItemDeleted and so on (the 'item' events) are fired for the grid itself. However you could use Parent property of each item to determinate in which table view is located.
For example:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
{

    GridTableView parentTable = e.Item.Parent as GridTableView;
    if (parentTable != null && parentTable.Name = "The name of your table")
    {
        //do some custom logic;
    }
}
