I am looking at the examples for the Grid under Custom Commands -> Column Command and am wondering how to implement a scenario where the details could contain a list of objects that need to be iterated through and displayed. For instance, a grid listing students that when you click the "Details" button it brings up the popup window to display the details about that student. One of the details would be courses they are enrolled in along with the grade for each course. There could be 0 or more courses and it is not known at design time. I already have the list of coures in my ViewModel that is being used but I don't know how to setup the HTML and javascript to use the collection. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Hi Joe,

I suggest you to use the approach shown in this online demo to configure the dependency between the Two Grids (sending the CustomerID via the OnDataBinding event of the child grid). Also you could replace the row selection and use template column with a button inside to show/hide a window which contains the child Grid. To do display the window (which should be initially hidden) you could use the open method provided by the client API of the Window inside the click handler of the button you have defined inside the template column.

I should have read that a little better...

I don't have two grids (nor do I want two grids). When I click the details button in the grid I want a nice popup window in the center of the page to be displayed that show the details in a nice format, not a grid. Any other ideas?

Thanks again!

Hello Joe,

Well, once the button is clicked you can perform an Ajax request to the server and pass the studentID. Once you have the student courses on the server side you can return a partial view which displays them in the desired format. When request has completed you can display the content in the window.
Also you could check this demo which covers similar scenario with the use of custom command. It could be modified to use the suggestion above.

Kind regards,
