child / parent cell value

[Karl]

If the current row is a childrow, how do you get a value of a cell of its parentrow?
thanks

Hello Karl Golling,

Thank you for writing.

You can access the parent row through the ViewInfo.ParentRow property. Please consider the following code:
 

GridViewDataRowInfo row = this.radGridView1.CurrentRow as GridViewDataRowInfo;
if (row != null && row.ParentRow != null)
{
    object cellValue = row.ViewInfo.ParentRow.Cells["OrderID"].Value;
}

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

This no longer works. ParentRow has been deprecated and replaced by Parent, which does not have the Cells property nor any other useful properties. How does this work now?

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

Here is a sample code snippet, demonstrating how to access the parent row's cell's value from the child row. Note that the Parent property is of type IHierarchicalRow. For the master row, the parent is the MasterGridViewTemplate. However, for the child rows the parent is the parent GridViewDataRowInfo. That is why it is necessary to cast the property in order to access the desired properties:

private void radGridView1_CurrentRowChanged(object sender, CurrentRowChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CurrentRow != null)
    {
        MasterGridViewTemplate masterTemplate = e.CurrentRow.Parent as MasterGridViewTemplate;
        if (masterTemplate != null)
        {
            //CurrentRow is from the master level
        }

        GridViewDataRowInfo parentRow = e.CurrentRow.Parent as GridViewDataRowInfo;
        if (parentRow != null)
        {
            //CurrentRow is from the child template
            object cellValue = parentRow.Cells[0].Value;
        }
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

How would this code look for VB?

Hello Eddie,

Thank you for writing.

Here is the code snippet in VB.NET:

Private Sub RadGridView1_CurrentRowChanged(sender As Object, e As CurrentRowChangedEventArgs) _
Handles RadGridView1.CurrentRowChanged
    If e.CurrentRow IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim masterTemplate As MasterGridViewTemplate = TryCast(e.CurrentRow.Parent, MasterGridViewTemplate)
        If masterTemplate IsNot Nothing Then
            'CurrentRow is from the master level
            Dim cellValue As Object = e.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value
        End If
    End If

    Dim parentRow As GridViewDataRowInfo = TryCast(e.CurrentRow.Parent, GridViewDataRowInfo)
    If parentRow IsNot Nothing Then
        'CurrentRow is from the child template
        Dim cellValue As Object = parentRow.Cells(0).Value
    End If
End Sub
