Hi I am trying to

columns.Bound(f => f.Admin_Menu_Group.Name ).Title("Admin Menu Group");
or
columns.Bound(f => f.Admin_Menu_Group != null ? f.Admin_Menu_Group.Name : "").Title("Admin Menu Group");

But error "Bound columns require a field or property access expression"

Because Admin.Menu.Group field is null.

Hello Fatih,

Basically the problem is not to bind the column to a property of nullable object - the problem is when the Grid tries to access it (i.e. when it is displayed).
If your Grid is using Ajax binding you can set a ClientTemplate like the following where Brother could be null:

columns.Bound(c => c.Brother.Name).ClientTemplate(" #= Brother ? Brother.Name : '' # ").Title("Brother");
