Dataitem Object

[Scott Marx]

Looking for a way to access or store an object from a Linqdatasource foreign key.

I have a Radgrid using a Linqdatasource with a nestedviewtemplate and a RadTabStrip/RadMultiPage. I would like to populate a RadGrid on one of RadMultilPage with the foreign key data from the Master RadGrid.

Is this possible?

Hi Scott,

How is the inner grid bound? If this is done throug hthe NeedDataSource event, there you shuld be able to find the parent GridDataItem and extract all desired values from it. If the grid is bound using DataSource control, then you can add a label in the NestedViewTemplate which would hold the foreign key and will be used for the SelectParameter:

I am tring to do this without making another database call.

Hi Scott,

For getting the foreign key following one of the suggested approaches, it is not necessary to rebind the outer grid.

All the best,
