How to check if GridDataItem is from "parent" table

[Johan]

Hi,

I have a two level hierarchical grid where I need to apply some logic at ItemDataBound etc.

On my ItemDataBound event I check whether a column contains a specific value and based on that I change the font color:

protected void grdCurrentGarnishee_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                var item = e.Item as GridDataItem;

                if (item["ValidationState"].Text == "UNMATCHED")
                {
                    item.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
                }
            }
        }

This is working great but is causing some issue when I expand the child (details) table since the child table does not contain that column.

Is there a way to check whether e.Item is from the "parent" table and not details table?

Thanks

Hello,

 One suggestion is you can  set the Name for the MasterTableView and DetailTableView and check for the condition as shown below.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "MasterTable")
  {
    //checking for the column in MasterTableView
  }
 if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "DetailTable")
  {
    //checking for the column in DetailTableView
  }
}
