Once again, i find your documentation and demos so convoluted that I have given up trying to make any sense out it.
I am again trying to accomplish a very simple thing: make a hierarchical grid out of a simple, 2-table relational dataset.
All I wish to do is to create a simple parent-child hierachy in a RadGrid, using an ADO DataSet object containing 2 tables, with a DataRelation already added to the DataSet, which should be enough to establish a parent-child relationship.
Here is dummy code that creates the DataSet:
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
DataTable dt2 = new DataTable();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataRow myRow;
dt1.Columns.Add(
"Period");
dt1.Columns.Add(
"Period_Name");
dt2.Columns.Add(
"Period");
dt2.Columns.Add(
"File_Name");
dt2.Columns.Add(
"Size");
myRow = dt1.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "60";
myRow[
"Period_Name"] = "April 2011";
dt1.Rows.Add(myRow);
myRow = dt1.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "59";
myRow[
"Period_Name"] = "March 2011";
dt1.Rows.Add(myRow);
myRow = dt1.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "58";
myRow[
"Period_Name"] = "February 2011";
dt1.Rows.Add(myRow);
myRow = dt1.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "57";
myRow[
"Period_Name"] = "January 2011";
dt1.Rows.Add(myRow);
myRow = dt2.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "60";
myRow[
"File_Name"] = "User_60_123456_1.pdf";
myRow[
"Size"] = "923324";
dt2.Rows.Add(myRow);
myRow = dt2.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "60";
myRow[
"File_Name"] = "User_60_123456_2.pdf";
myRow[
"Size"] = "433324";
dt2.Rows.Add(myRow);
myRow = dt2.NewRow();
myRow[
"Period"] = "60";
myRow[
"File_Name"] = "User_60_123456_3.pdf";
myRow[
"Size"] = "693324";
dt2.Rows.Add(myRow);
ds.Tables.Add(dt1);
ds.Tables.Add(dt2);
DataRelation dRel = new DataRelation("Period_to_PDF", ds.Tables[0].Columns["Period"],
ds.Tables[1].Columns[
"Period"]);
ds.Relations.Add(dRel);
<telerik:RadComboBox ID="rcbEntities" runat="server" Width="440px" Height="140px"
ShowToggleImage="False" EmptyMessage="Start Typing..." MinFilterLength="3" EnableLoadOnDemand="true"

Do you have a detailed example of a simple service that is defined in a separate VS project / IIS site and is being called from a RadComboBox to perform autocomplete ?

RadGrid1_ItemDataBound, RadGrid1_UpdateCommand or any other "events" ), or something like this ... is this possible?
<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="grdOrders" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" Skin="Web20" onneeddatasource="grdOrders_NeedDataSource" GroupingSettings-CaseSensitive="false" AllowFilteringByColumn="true" > <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" > <Columns> <telerik:GridNumericColumn DataField="PlantID" HeaderText="Plant #" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" ShowFilterIcon="false" SortExpression="PlantID" UniqueName="PlantID" DataType="System.Int32" > </telerik:GridNumericColumn> <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Demand" HeaderText="Demand" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" ShowFilterIcon="false" SortExpression="Demand" UniqueName="Demand" DataType="System.Int32" > </telerik:GridBoundColumn> <telerik:GridDateTimeColumn DataField="OrderEntryDate" HeaderText="Order Date" CurrentFilterFunction="EqualTo" ShowFilterIcon="false" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" PickerType="DatePicker" FilterControlWidth="95px" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" SortExpression="OrderEntryDate" UniqueName="OrderEntryDate"> </telerik:GridDateTimeColumn> <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CreatedBy" HeaderText="Created By" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" ShowFilterIcon="false" UniqueName="CreatedBy"> </telerik:GridBoundColumn> </Columns> </MasterTableView> <ClientSettings AllowColumnsReorder="True" ReorderColumnsOnClient="True"> </ClientSettings></telerik:RadGrid>
