Hi there, I have a RadGrid (Q1 2009 release) and I want to group by the LanguageID that I am pulling from my LinqDataSource while displaying the accompanying Language instead of the ID. I am attempting to use the FieldAlias for the Language, but this is not working. Here is my code. My LinqDataSource is pulling: SurveyID, SurveyGroupID, SurveyGroupName, LanguageID, Language from the database directly. I can group by anything, but no matter what I group by, the FieldAlias does not do anything.

    
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="rdgSurveys" runat="server" DataSourceID="ldsSurveys" GridLines="None" Skin="Office2007" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> 
        
                    <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="SurveyID" DataSourceID="ldsSurveys" GroupLoadMode="Client"> 
        
                      <RowIndicatorColumn> 
        
                        <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle> 
        
                      </RowIndicatorColumn> 
        
                      <ExpandCollapseColumn> 
        
                        <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle>

Hello Redmond,

Unfortunately I could not reproduce this issue. I created a test project in my attempt to recreate the abnormality explained so far. I used the latest official build of RadControls. I've attached my sample web site project to this support thread. You can also review this online help article devoted on the same matter.

Kind regards,
