How would you use foreign key data to populate the DetailsTables grid?

I am using onneeddatasource to populate the MasterTableView. I am also using linq as my datasource.

Hi,

In order to achieve your goal you could check this online demo application. Although it is not using LINQ the approach is the same. You get the value from the parent TableView and then use it in the select statement, no matter if it is SQL or LINQ syntax.

I am aware of this concept. I was trying to avoid another call to the DB since the data is already be called on the mastertableview query.

Hi,

When querying data with LINQ you get a new IQueryable object as result of the query. So, I do not see why you need to make another call to the database. If you have disposed your context in another event handler you may use some offline storage like List or DataSet and then query against that storage instead directly to the database.
