[Solved] How to find the parent row of a nested grid's row on events

[Alex]

OK you may be confused by the title of the post, but I didn't really know how to express a good title for the post.

Here's what I have, I've got a nested grid in a grid and on events such as item_databound of the nested grid I need to find the parent row of the nested grid.

I've found a convoluted way in finding it, but I'm sure there's a simpler way, here's how I do it on the item_databound:

DirectCast(e.Item.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNestedViewItem).ParentItem

I have a similar convoluted way in getting this in a rowdrop event from the nested grid's

DirectCast(e.DragedItems(0).Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNestedViewItem).ParentItem

Here's a quick example of what I'm doing:

Public Sub rdgInvoices_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) 'Handles rdgInvoices.ItemDataBound
        Static Total As Double

        If TypeOf e.Item Is Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem Then
(e.Item.Parent, "TelerikForAjax")

            Dim gdiParent As Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNestedViewItem).ParentItem

            If DirectCast(gdiParent.FindControl("lblDirectExpense"), Label).Text = "1" OrElse DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("lblDirectExpense"), Label).Text = "1" Then
                With e.Item
                    DirectCast(.FindControl("lblInvoice"), Label).Visible = False
                    With DirectCast(.FindControl("txtInvoice"), TextBox)
                        .Visible = True
                        ' ''On Error Resume Next
                        ' ''.Attributes.Remove("updateDE")
                        ' ''On Error GoTo 0
                        ' ''.Attributes.Add("onChange", "updateDE('" & directcast(e.Item.FindControl("txtInvoice"), Label).ClientID & "', '" & & "')")
                    End With
                    Dim rdg As Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem = ParentRow(e.Item.Parent, "TelerikForAjax")

                    With DirectCast(.FindControl("txtAmount"), TextBox)
                        .Attributes.Add("onChange", "updateDE('" & DirectCast(e.Item.FindControl("lblAmount"), Label).ClientID & "','" & DirectCast(.FindControl("txtAmount"), TextBox).ClientID & "', '" & DirectCast(rdgCategoryBudget.Items(CurrentCategoryRow).FindControl("txtReconciled"), TextBox).ClientID & "', '" & DirectCast(rdg.FindControl("txtReconciled"), TextBox).ClientID & "', '" & DirectCast(rdgCategoryBudget.Items(CurrentCategoryRow).FindControl("lblSavings"), Label).ClientID & "', '" & DirectCast(rdgCategoryBudget.Items(CurrentCategoryRow).FindControl("lblTotal"), Label).ClientID & "')")
                        .ReadOnly = Not AllowReconciliation
                    End With

                End With
      End If

End Sub
