[Solved] GridTableView.NestedViewTemplate

[Joe Loux]

Are there any good examples of using the NestedViewTemplate?  My problem is this: 

I've created a Template and assigned it to a grid. No problems there, test contents of the template (a label) rendered fine.  Now what I'm trying to do is render the DetailTables inside the template.  I pass in the MasterTableView of the grid in order to have access to the child views.  Any way to use those existing views to create the child grids, or at least render the views?

Hi Joe,

Generally NestedViewTemplate will replace default detail GridTableView however you can place in the template anything you want even new RadGrid. I have attached small example to illustrate you this.

Thanks for the reply. I understand that any controls can be placed inside of the NestedView, but I need to render the detail tables that are created when the parent-child relationships are set up.

Thanks for the reply. I have already set up the relationships between the MasterTableView and the DetailTableViews and they are working fine.  What I am trying to accomplish is the rendering of each DetailTableView inside of a RadPanelItem. That way, the individual detail grids could be hidden/shown as needed.

Hello Joe,

While there is no easy and straightforward way to achieve such a rendering, with a standard hierarchy, you may consider a different approach. First, you may consider a detailTemplate. Alternatively, depending on your requirement, you may choose to relate the grids.
I hope one of these options is feasible for you.

I've been looking at the relate grids example and was wondering if there are any examples of accomplishing the same type of functionality in the code behind using NeedDataSource

Hello Joe,

I think that the sample project from this forum post will help you accomplish the same task using NeedDataSource handling:

You merely need to replace the grids in it with their ASP.NET AJAX counterpart.
