HierarchyChildTemplate Example in VB

[Joel]

I have been tring to get my grid to use HierarchyChildTemplate so I can display child data.  From all of the examples I've seen I have the XAML set up correctly however I do believe I don't have the Data setup right.

This is my main data source:

Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel

Public Class sosInvoice
    Implements INotifyPropertyChanged


    Private _GrossAmount As String
    Public Property GrossAmount() As String
        Get
            Return _GrossAmount
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)

            If _GrossAmount <> value Then
                _GrossAmount = value
                NotifyPropertyChanged("GrossAmount")
            End If

        End Set
    End Property

    Public Distribution As List(Of sosDistribution)

    Private Sub NotifyPropertyChanged(ByVal PropertyName As String)
        Dim eNew As New PropertyChangedEventArgs(PropertyName)
        RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, eNew)
    End Sub

    Public Event PropertyChanged(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs) Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
End Class

This is the Distribution class:

Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel

Public Class sosDistribution
    Implements INotifyPropertyChanged


    Private _Amount As String
    Public Property Amount() As String
        Get
            Return _Amount
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            If _Amount <> value Then
                _Amount = value
                NotifyPropertyChanged("Amount")
            End If
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Event PropertyChanged(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs) Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged

    Private Sub NotifyPropertyChanged(ByVal PropertyName As String)
        Dim eNew As New PropertyChangedEventArgs(PropertyName)
        RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, eNew)
    End Sub


End Class

Does this look right?

I use the following XAML:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="rgdInvoices"
                     Canvas.Left="12" Canvas.Top="63"
                     Height="478" Width="834"
                     telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7"
                     ItemsSource="{StaticResource sosInvoice}"
                     IsFilteringAllowed="False"
                     CanUserSortColumns="False"
                     CanUserResizeColumns="False"
                     CanUserReorderColumns="False"
                     CanUserFreezeColumns="False"
                     FrozenColumnCount="3"
                     CanUserDeleteRows="False"
                     CanUserInsertRows="False"
                     ShowGroupPanel="False"
                     ShowInsertRow="False"
                     RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"
                     AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                     RowLoaded="rgdInvoices_RowLoaded"
                     >

    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Gross Amount" DataMemberBinding="{Binding GrossAmount, Mode=TwoWay}" >
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding GrossAmount}" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBox Text="{Binding GrossAmount, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                </DataTemplate>
        </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>


 <telerik:RadGridView.HierarchyChildTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadGridView
                                BorderThickness="0,1,0,1"
                                telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7"
                                IsFilteringAllowed="False"
                                CanUserSortColumns="False"
                                CanUserResizeColumns="False"
                                CanUserReorderColumns="False"
                                CanUserFreezeColumns="False"
                                CanUserDeleteRows="False"
                                CanUserInsertRows="False"
                                ShowGroupPanel="False"
                                ShowInsertRow="False"
                                RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"
                                ItemsSource="{Binding Distribution}"
                                AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                                    >
                <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Amount}"   Header="Amount" />
                </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            </telerik:RadGridView>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadGridView.HierarchyChildTemplate>

    <telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>
        <telerik:GridViewTableDefinition>
            <telerik:GridViewTableDefinition.Relation>
                <telerik:PropertyRelation ParentPropertyName="Distribution"/>
            </telerik:GridViewTableDefinition.Relation>
        </telerik:GridViewTableDefinition>
    </telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>

</telerik:RadGridView>

here's how I load these classes with data:

Public Shared g_Invoices As New sosInvoiceList
...

  'Load data into the collections so it loads with data from here
        For l_iIndex As Integer = 1 To 20
            Dim l_newInvoice As New sosInvoice
            l_newInvoice.ID = l_iIndex
            l_newInvoice.GrossAmount = (l_iIndex * 20).ToString
            l_newInvoice.Distribution = New List(Of sosDistribution)

            For l_iIndex2 = 1 To 10
                Dim l_newDist As New sosDistribution

                l_newDist.Amount = "99"

                l_newInvoice.Distribution.Add(l_newDist)
            Next

            g_Invoices.Add(l_newInvoice)
        Next

        rgdInvoices.ItemsSource = g_Invoices

I can get the Invoices to show yet no Distributions in the child records, only the header appears.
again, I would like a complete example in VB if possible.
Thanks.

Hello,

 According to your code you do not have public Distribution property in sosInvoice class.

I thought the following code did that:

Public Distribution As List(Of sosDistribution)

If not how would l write that.  I feel this is where I am having the issue.
Thanks.

Hi,

 This is declaration of field  - not a property.

Can you provide a VB example of how to write that?

Thanks.

[Joel]

I finally got it.  This is how I wrote it.  I finally found a VB example in the online documentation.

Private _Distribution As List(Of sosDistribution)
    Public Property Distribution() As List(Of sosDistribution)
        Get
            Return _Distribution
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As List(Of sosDistribution))
            _Distribution = value
        End Set
    End Property

Thanks.
