DetailTable ItemDataBound

[Shehab]

Hi All,

I am building a grid with detailed table to show Departments and in the detailed table there are Persons and SubDepartments. I am trying to build another detailed table to show the Persons inside the SubDepartments, however I was the first Detailed table to have the expand button only if it is SubDepartments and not showing it when it is Persons inside the main Departments.
Here is what I have in the aspx;

<radG:RadGrid ID="rgDep" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None" Skin="WebBlue">
    <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ContactID" HierarchyLoadMode="ServerBind">
        <Columns>
          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="ContactID" Display="False" HeaderText="ContactID" ReadOnly="True"
            UniqueName="ContactID">
          </radG:GridBoundColumn>
          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="Contact" HeaderText="Department" ReadOnly="True" UniqueName="Contact">
            <ItemStyle Font-Bold="True" />
          </radG:GridBoundColumn>
          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="Ext" HeaderText="Extension" ReadOnly="True" UniqueName="Ext">
          </radG:GridBoundColumn>
          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="Pager" HeaderText="Pager" UniqueName="Pager">
          </radG:GridBoundColumn>
          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="Office" HeaderText="Office" UniqueName="Office">
          </radG:GridBoundColumn>
          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="Fax" HeaderText="Fax" UniqueName="Fax">

          <radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="IP" HeaderText="IP" UniqueName="IP">

                        <ParentTableRelation>
                            <radG:GridRelationFields DetailKeyField="DepID" MasterKeyField="ContactID" />
                        </ParentTableRelation>
                    </radG:GridTableView>
                </DetailTables>

            </radG:GridTableView>
        </DetailTables>
    </MasterTableView>
    <ClientSettings>
        <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
    </ClientSettings>
</radG:RadGrid>

It looks big but really it is not.
I am thinking to do this in the Detailed Table ItemDataBound, I just don't know how to pull the values to verify if it persons or subDepartments.

Thanks for all the help,
Shehab

Hi Shehab,

How to hide the expand/collapse images in parent records when there is no child table to be displayed you can learn from the following article in the RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX documentation. Feel free to modify the logic to meet your additional requirements for hierarchy presentation.
