Hierarchy Problem

[Bill]

I'm fairly new using Winforms gridview.  I'm trying to create a grid with a simple hierarchy relationship.  In the full auto mode it works fine. but when I try the manual bound mode I cannot make it work.  The child grid is not displayed at all.

Below is a snippet of code.  The commented out code is when I try the auto mode, so I don't believe there is anything wrong with the dataset.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                grdKitDetail.Relations.Clear();
                grdKitDetail.MasterGridViewTemplate.ChildGridViewTemplates.Clear();
                grdKitDetail.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Clear();
                grdKitDetail.DataSource = null;
                grdKitDetail.AutoGenerateHierarchy = false;

                DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
                if (!Route._getKitDetail(ref dataset, masterid, kittypes)) { fstatus = false; goto PROC_EXIT; }

                dataset.Relations.Clear();
                dataset.Tables[0].TableName = "KitDetail"; dataset.Tables[1].TableName = "Inventory";
                dataset.Relations.Add("Inventory", new DataColumn[] { dataset.Tables["KitDetail"].Columns["DetailId"] },
                                                                        new DataColumn[] { dataset.Tables["Inventory"].Columns["DetailId"] });

                //grdKitDetail.AutoGenerateHierarchy = true;
                //grdKitDetail.DataMember = "KitDetail";
                //grdKitDetail.DataSource = dataset;
                //goto PROC_EXIT;

                grdKitDetail.DataSource = dataset.Tables["KitDetail"];

                GridViewTemplate childtemplate = new GridViewTemplate();
                childtemplate.DataSource = dataset.Tables["Inventory"];

                grdKitDetail.MasterGridViewTemplate.ChildGridViewTemplates.Add(childtemplate);

                GridViewRelation childrelation = new GridViewRelation(grdKitMaster.MasterGridViewTemplate);
                childrelation.ChildTemplate = childtemplate;
                childrelation.RelationName = "KitDetailInventory";
                childrelation.ParentColumnNames.Add("DetailId");
                childrelation.ChildColumnNames.Add("DetailId");
                grdKitDetail.Relations.Add(childrelation);

Hello Bill,

Thank you for contacting us.

I am not sure where is the issue, when looking at your code. My suggestion would be to set the DataSource after setting the relations. If this doesn't help, please open a support ticket and send us your project. I will try to find a proper solution.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to write us.
