This seems like a really basic question, and I feel a little silly for asking...

I have an entity model, including two tables:

Table: Products
Product ID - PK
Code
Description
CategoryID - FK

Table:  Categories
CategoryID - PK
Code
Description

Using a RadGrid with an EntityDataSource control, I can't seem to figure out how to have the grid display a list of products that includes the Product Code, Product Description, and Category Description. 

Again, I feel like I'm missing something very simple, so I apologize - I've done lots of searching and have found examples for hierarchies, combos in edit mode, etc - all I'm looking to do at this point is just display the fields. 

Thanks!

Hello Paul,

By using EntityDataSource it is a bit tricky. You should set Include property in order to force the loading of related entities. For your convenience I am attaching sample application.
