Grouping by nested object

[leapopotomus]

Hi,
I am trying to group my gridview data by a nested object like this:

DataSource = List<Person>

GroupExpression: Address.Suburb as Sub Group By Sub

This results in the data being correctly sorted but the grid will not display any group headers. Is there a way to do this?

thanks

Hi Bart,

Thank you for writing.

Currently, the RadGridView partially completes the grouping operation to speed-up the process of adding multiple grouping and/or sorting expressions. You need to explicitly update the grouping panel for the grouping operation to complete, as shown in the code below:

radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.GroupByExpressions.Add(tbGroupExpressions.Text, tbFormatString.Text);
radGridView1.UpdateGroupPanel();

Should you have further questions, please write us back.

Hi Evtim,
Thanks for your reply, but I still can not get the grid to show group headers when trying to group by a nested object property.

Even if i do not add the grouping expression programatically and at run-time right click on the column and select 'group by this column', it will group the data but will not show group headers. If i do this for any other column it works fine.

The object I am binding too is structured like this:

Class:         Order
Properties:  Description, Date, Service

Class:         Service
Properites:  Id, System

The columns in the grid are:

Date, Description, Service.System

and my datasource is a List<Order>

Date and Description will group fine with group headers, but when i group with Service.System (either programitcally or at run-time) there are no group headers??

thanks,
bart

Hi Ofer,

Thank you for writing.

This method was a part of a deprecated RadGridView implementation. For more information about the grouping capabilities of our latest grid, please refer to the following help section: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-grouping-setting-groups-programmatically.html.

I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
