I am trying to display hierarchical data in a RadGrid.  I don't know at design-time how many levels deep the hierarchy is, so it seems like I can't use the standard hierarchy option, which requires design of each level up-front.  Also, each branch of the hierarchy may not have the same number of levels.  It seems like the self-referencing hierarchy is what I want, but when I try to load the leaf-level data into the grid, it takes far too long (for approximately 5800 rows in my test case).  I would be willing to work around this via some kind of on-demand loading of the expanded data, but from other posts I have read in the forum, it sounds like the ServerOnDemand option is not supported for self-referencing hierarchies. 

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish what I need to do in a RadGrid?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi,

 Indeed the grid does not support load on demand for self referencing hierarchy. But the same structure can shown in the RadTreeList control which has a load on demand feature as shown in this demo.
