Can't sort by field on inner GridTableView

[Rubens]

Hi there,

I have a RadGrid with a MasterTableView and an inner GridTableView, as in master-detail samples. I want to enable sorting just on inner TableView.

When I click some column, an error shows up telling a field from detail object wasn't found on master object.

How can I address this?

TIA.

Hello Rubens,

When using NeedDataSource event and DetailTableDataBind event, RadGrid can automatically accommodate the appropriate database operations without the need for you explicitly handle any sorting, paging, grouping, and so on.
Check the following demo which implements a similar scenario.
Grid / Programmatic Binding.

Thanks,

I'm using NeedDataSource and DetailTableDataBound, but when I click an inner grid column, DetailTableDataBind doesn't fire.
Besides, I'm working with custom collections and, without an automatic behavior from RadGrid, I'll have to deal with expression translation to properly order that objects.

I also noted a strange behavior: after sorting, RadGrid bind on inner grid my master object, not my inner collection.

So, RadGrid doesn't support this scenario or it's a bug?

Thanks,
