I have a GridView hierarchy with two child tables, of which I want to show only a few chosen columns .

In Q2, it worked fine with the following code.

    
            GridViewTableDefinition tdPayment = new GridViewTableDefinition();  
        
            GridViewTableDefinition tdDetail = new GridViewTableDefinition();  
        
            tdPayment.DataSource = MySalePayments = GetSalePaymentsData();  
        
            tdPayment.AutoGenerateFieldDescriptors = false;  
        
            TableRelation tr = new TableRelation();  
        
            tr.FieldNames.Add(new FieldDescriptorNamePair("Receipt", "Receipt"));  
        
            tdPayment.Relation = tr;  
        
            GridViewDataColumn paymentType = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            paymentType.UniqueName = "SalePaymentType";  
        
            paymentType.Header = "PaymentType";  
        
            paymentType.DataType = typeof(short);  
        
            GridViewDataColumn amount = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            amount.UniqueName = "Amount";  
        
            amount.Header = "Amount";  
        
            amount.DataType = typeof(decimal);  
        
            tdPayment.FieldDescriptors.Add(paymentType);  
        
            tdPayment.FieldDescriptors.Add(amount);  
        
            tdDetail.AutoGenerateFieldDescriptors = false;           
        
            tdDetail.DataSource = MySaleDetails = GetSaleDetailData();  
        
            tdDetail.Relation = tr;  
        
            GridViewDataColumn itemId = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            itemId.UniqueName = "ItemId";  
        
            itemId.Header = "ItemId";  
        
            itemId.DataType = typeof(string);  
        
            GridViewDataColumn saleQty = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            saleQty.UniqueName = "SaleQuantity";  
        
            saleQty.Header = "Sale Qty";  
        
            saleQty.DataType = typeof(short);  
        
            GridViewDataColumn unitPrice = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            unitPrice.UniqueName = "UnitPrice";  
        
            unitPrice.Header = "Price";  
        
            unitPrice.DataType = typeof(decimal);  
        
            GridViewDataColumn discount = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            discount.UniqueName = "Discount";  
        
            discount.Header = "Discount";  
        
            discount.DataType = typeof(decimal);  
        
            GridViewDataColumn individualDiscount = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
            individualDiscount.UniqueName = "IndividualDiscount";  
        
            individualDiscount.Header = "Ind.Discount";  
        
            individualDiscount.DataType = typeof(decimal);  
        
            tdDetail.FieldDescriptors.Add(itemId);  
        
            tdDetail.FieldDescriptors.Add(saleQty);  
        
            tdDetail.FieldDescriptors.Add(unitPrice);  
        
            tdDetail.FieldDescriptors.Add(discount);  
        
            tdDetail.FieldDescriptors.Add(individualDiscount);  
        
            radGridViewSalesList.TableDefinition.ChildTableDefinitions.Add(tdPayment);  
        
            radGridViewSalesList.TableDefinition.ChildTableDefinitions.Add(tdDetail);

When Run in Q3, AutoGenerateFieldDescriptors was simply ignored showing all columns.

In Q3, it was suggested that I use AutoGenerateColumns of GridViewDataControl .
I was able to do it with single child table using DataLoading handler as shown in the demo source code.
But I don't know how to do it with two child tables.

Problem seems to me is that we can not set visual tree more than once under RadGridView.HierarchyChildTemplate

I also wonder how I can use GridViewDataControl in the context of two child tables.
My understanding is that sender is RadGridView object in the following code.

    
            private void RadGridView1_DataLoading(object sender,   
        
                                                  GridViewDataLoadingEventArgs e)  
        
            {  
        
               GridViewDataControl dataControl = (GridViewDataControl) sender;  
        
               if (dataControl.ParentRow != null)  
        
               {  
        
                  dataControl.CanUserFreezeColumns = false;  
        
                  dataControl.ShowGroupPanel = false;  
        
                  dataControl.AutoGenerateColumns = false;  
        
                  GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn();  
        
                  column.Header = "Order ID";  
        
                  column.DataMemberBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("OrderID");  
        
                  dataControl.Columns.Add(column);  
        
                  // omitted lines  
        
               }  
        
            }

Am I missing something?

Hello gureumi,

I have prepared a small example which illustrates how to distinguish which is the correct grid for the given table definition. Please find it in the attached archived file.

Hope this helps,
