[Solved] Hierarchy + Auto Update

[Michael]

I have what seems to be a simple problem and hopefully an equally simple answer:

Currently I have a hierarchical grid, with a details table for drilling down into the data.  The drill down data is where the edit occurs (only update right now).  The problem is that when I update a detail record, the top level record does not want to refresh.

To make this a bit clearer (and trying to avoid bombarding everyone with code, which later we may find is necessary), picture the master record displaying a field "balance".  The detail records are items that total the "balance".  When I update one of the detail balances, it is reflected; however, the master balance field is not.

Thanks.

Hello Michael,

I suggest that you rebind the MasterTableView and see if it works.
                  RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

Additionally by default when you rebind a parent table in hierarchical grid the settings/expanded state for the nested tables will be lost. This is because the refresh action resets all previous settings applied for the nested controls to avoid viewstate inconsistencies/unexpected behavior.

You can find more information about how to retain the expanded/selected state for grid items in hierarchy upon a rebind command in the following article.
Retain expanded/selected state in hierarchy on rebind

I hope this helps.

Thanks that did the trick.  Odd, because I thought I had tried that.  I put that statement inside the "ItemUpdate" event for the Grid.

I also want to note that the hierarchy retained it's position and values just fine.  I'm using AJAX so I'm guessing that's the intended result of doing so...?
