Flatten nested properties?

[BobB]

public class Employee
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string HomePhone { get; set; }
}

public class Order
{
    public string ShipAddress { get; set; }
    public string ShipName { get; set; }
    public string ShipPostalCode { get; set; }
    public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
    public Employee Employee { get; set; }
}

 

<telerik:RadPropertyGrid Item="{Binding}"
                            NestedPropertiesVisibility="Visible" />

 

Is there a way to flatten the Employee class so it doesn't have to be "opened" to edit it? I would really like to have all the Employee class properties be on the same level as the shipping properties like in the image.

Hi,

You can use the AutogenerateBindgPaths property (Unbound mode of RadPropertyGrid) to define custom nested hierarchies. In this way you will be able to define a root level list of property definition, specifying binding paths to the nested properties. Here is an article that gives some more extensive info on the topic. It also contains a simple example.
