[Solved] Grouping by nested object

[Aleksei]

    Hello !

for example my radgrid datasource is Product table , and every product is related to another table ProductType.

is it possible to group radgrid by product types?

 i tryed this syntax : 

    <GroupByExpressions>

            <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>

                <SelectFields>

                    <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldAlias="Type" FieldName="ProductType.Name"></telerik:GridGroupByField>

                </SelectFields>

                <GroupByFields>

                    <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="ProductType.Name" SortOrder="Ascending"></telerik:GridGroupByField>

                </GroupByFields>

            </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>

        </GroupByExpressions>

but, without any luck.

Thank You !

Hi Aleksei,

To make sure that the control is properly grouped, the filed that you are trying to group by, must be a part of the underlying datasources, to which the grid is databound. If there are two datatables, you can construct one, and bind the control to it. In any case, the field that you group on, must be a part of the datasource of the grid control.
