[Solved] Clientside binding and complex objects

[Dominic]

Hello,

i have a radgrid bound to a list of complex objects. the binding on client side will not show the value of the complex property.
C# class:

public class BladderInstillation : BaseIdentifier
{
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    public decimal Dosage { get; set; }
    public Agent Agent { get; set; }
}

public class Agent : BaseIdentifier
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string AtcCode { get; set; }
}

Grid column:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Agent" UniqueName="Agent" DataField="Agent.Name" />

Javascript:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "MyPage.aspx/Save",
    data: "{'instillation' : " + Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(instillation) + "}",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data) {
        for (var i = 0; i < data.d.length; i++) {
            data.d[i].Date = jsonParseDate(data.d[i].Date).format("dd.MM.yyyy");
        }
        var tableView = $find("<%= radGrid.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
        tableView.set_dataSource(data.d);
        tableView.dataBind();
        var grid = $find("<%= radGrid.ClientID %>");
        grid.repaint();
    }
});

The date and dosage properties will be shown but not the Agent.Name property. How can i achieve this?

Regards,
Dominic

Hello Dominic,

I am afraid that currently RadGrid will not manage to bind to nested properties by using client-side binding. You can manually bind the column by handling RowDataBound client event and populate the cell for the current row. In the arguments of the handler there are references to the current GridDataItem and DataItem the row is bound to.

All the best,
