Grid Features (Self referencing hierarchy and Column sets)

[Juan]

Greetings!

I have been using the Telerik ASP.NET stuff for some time, and have been fiddling around with the Silverlight and for those two, I say two thumbs up!

Recently I have been taking more than a cursory peek at the WinForms controls, because of an ongoing project where I had wanted to use them, and I can't seem to manage to find how to set the grid to self referencing hierarchy.

The data is fairly simple, just a dummy class with an Id and a ParentId:

    public class SelfRefTest
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public int? ParentId { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }
        public string Text2 { get; set; }
        public string Text3 { get; set; }
    }

Which should be bound and displayed like this...

The second scenario is Column Sets, where I could stack columns ontop of each other in a complex layout, like this...

Are these two highly valuable and highly desirable features (nudge, nudge, hint, hint) not supported, or am I missing something?

Hi Juan,

Thank you for your interest in our WinForms controls.

Currently, we do not support self-referencing, but we are considering adding this feature in the future. I have updated your Telerik points for your suggestion.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have more questions. 

Best wishes,
Nick
