How do I get the grid to display data from multiple sources

[wojciech sobocinski]

Basically we have these related objects and I would like to compose a row in the grid at runtime pulling data from multiple objects at once. Sort of like a composite row where say 50% of columns are pulling data from obj 1 and the other 50% from object 2.

I know I can compose a facade obj and bind to those properties and even at runtime I can create a dynamicobject and bind a collection of these in the grid but I am trying to avoid that.

Also it 'works' nice if I use a single row view pulling data from two objects - but once I need to bind to two collections which are synched up that's where I'm stuck.

Any thoughts/ideas on how to accomplish that?

Hello wojciech sobocinski,

Unfortunately RadGridView does not support such marginal scenario. I am afraid I can not avoid a middle layer which combines both collections. So the solution is a kind of custom View Model , facade as you say or something else to merge the data , before feeding it to RadGridView.

If I could set a cell level binding maybe that would work but I can't seem to find anyway to do it.

Also as a side note, could this possibly be entertained as a feature add?
