I have a two-level hierarchy with rows in the master grid and then another GridTableViewin the DetailTables. It all displays fine and lets me expand/collapse the detail as long as I do not enable row selection with postback. I need to handle the event for row selection changed on the server side, but when I set my ClientSettings as follows:

<ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="True" >
<Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
</ClientSettings>

then while I do now get my event handler called on row selection if I click anywhere on the row EXCEPT the expand/collapse arrow, I can no longer get the detail table to expand at all. It seems very odd because basically clicking on the expand/collapse arrow now does nothing - neither postback a row selection changed event nor expand/collapse the detail table, yet clicking anywhere else on the row acts properly (event on server side).

Found it.

Although the grid already had the correct DataSourceID set, I was setting it again (to the same value) when I was setting up my server side event handlers in my code-behind (essentially in OnLoad of the parent control.) For some reason, even though I wasn't actually changing the value that it was set to, doing so would cause the weird behavior of the Detail table expansion not working. It turned out the other settings were neither the cause nor relevant, but I was fooled because i had made a few changes at once as well as having some other issues related to handling of row selection now that I have detail tables (first time I've done so.)

I haven't looked at the radgrid source for it yet, but it does still seem a little odd that setting the value, without changing the value, of DataSourceID should have any effect whatsoever, but at least I am past that issue.
