[Solved] Data disappears from unbound grid(first time only) when creating on-demand hierarchical grid/child

[Donald]

Hi,
I have an unbound radgridview and i am trying to add some on-demand (unbound) hierarchical child/grid to it. It seems i have to "load data in the grid" twice to see data. The first time around, i get to see the columns in the master grid but no data. When i "load data in grid" again, i then get the data.

It seems that when the Master Gird is bound and then i create the on-demand child grid, i can see the data. I must be missing some step in the unbound mode and cannot figure out what. Please could you help?

My code (VS2008) is shown below. The issue is i have to click the Button1 twice to get data .
Thanks
Don

Imports Telerik.WinControls.UI

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        'clear all data (since we have to click twice to see the data)
        gridReview.Columns.Clear()
        gridReview.Rows.Clear()

        'set up columns
        gridReview.Columns.Add(New GridViewTextBoxColumn("ID"))
        gridReview.Columns.Add(New GridViewTextBoxColumn("Employee"))
        gridReview.Columns.Add(New GridViewTextBoxColumn("Code"))
        gridReview.Columns.Add(New GridViewTextBoxColumn("Total Hours"))
        gridReview.Columns.Add(New GridViewCheckBoxColumn("Review"))


        'setup some grid proerties

        'create the hierarchical grid

        template.AllowDeleteRow = False
        template.AllowEditRow = False

        gridReview.Templates.Add(template)
        template.HierarchyDataProvider = New GridViewEventDataProvider(template)
        'not specified relation as its on-demand.
        'code will be put in gridReview_RowSourceNeeded



    End Sub

    End Sub

    Private Sub gridReview_RowSourceNeeded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowSourceNeededEventArgs)
        MessageBox.Show("Show some data")


    End Sub

Sorry, i posted the issue too soon. Played around with the code and I think i have figured it out now. I needed to load the data in the master grid after all the setups. The sequence should have been:

..Setup unbound master grid
..setup on-demand child/hierarchical grid
..AND THEN load data in the unbound master grid

Hello Donald,

Thank you for writing.

I am glad you have found how to accomplish your scenario, but still I think your first approach is logically correct and should work. I have added this issue to our PITS and updated your Telerik points. We will address the issue in a future release.

Best regards,
