I have a grid that binds to hierarchical objects in the Load() handler of a ascx control:

 grid.MasterTableView.DataSource = masterTable; // a table from a typed DataSet
  grid.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].DataSource = childTable; // a table from a typed DataSet

The grid.DataBind() is called later.

The grid has defined a bunch of bound columns using GridBoundColumn (Name, Description, etc.). The hierarchy gets displayed correctly (there are parent/child rows), but the values of the columns are always "System.Data.DataRowView" and this does not make sense, since the tables contains the rows Name, Description... I have inspected in debug mode the items in ItemDataBound event and they seem OK.

I tried an alternative implementation with binding to objects, but I am getting similar results - I jsut have the class name displayed instead of "System.Data.DataRowView" .

Any ideas? Is the binding problematic or something else?

Well, I forgot to set DataField to the GridBoundColumn - no wonder it did not show any data
