How to create hierarchical grids in Q3 2009?

[Luis]

I ported this silverlight example to WPF and it stopped working. I'm talking about the first project provided by Ross. I didn't change any code (other than the wpf/silverlight stuff) and it doesn't load any row in any of the child tables anymore.

I also took this other example, which is a WPF project already (ticketid-243249-hierarchychildtemplate.zip), switched the dll's for the Q3 release and it stopped working. Same problem, doesn't load any row.

My situation is simple, I wanna be able to create a hierarchy of .NET Objects like the following:

Clients

Offices

Contacts

I need to be able to define each column, I tried this code, which seems the most straight forward approach, but it doesn't let me define any column:

           <telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>
                <telerik:GridViewTableDefinition AutoGenerateFieldDescriptors="False">
                    <telerik:GridViewTableDefinition.Relation>
                        <data:PropertyRelation ParentPropertyName="Offices" />
                    </telerik:GridViewTableDefinition.Relation>
                </telerik:GridViewTableDefinition>
            </telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>

I've tried many other approaches and samples, so far no luck. Any ideas?

Hello Luis,

We have an example on our online demos that will help you implement this. The example is called Custom Hierarchy Template and can be found here under GridView -> Hierarchy. The key to customize the how your hierarchy looks like is to use the HierarchyChildTemplate property which is demonstrated in the sample.

Thank you, Milan. I had seen that example, I can't believe I hadn't tried it.
