Is there a way to group by category/type in RadListView

[Gary Meagher]

I have list of products displayed in a RadListView. I would like to group those products by Category (where Category is a property of the Product class)
Is that even possible using RadListView?

In your samples, you only have basic grouping using a predefined number of items per group.
Thanks,
Gary


Here is the code I'm using:

<telerik:RadListView ID="listViewProducts" runat="server"
       onneeddatasource="listViewProducts_NeedDataSource" ItemPlaceholderID="ProductsHolder"
      DataKeyNames="ProductCatalogID" >
                 <AlternatingItemTemplate>
                 <div class="rlvA" style="height: 160px; width: 200px; margin-top: 5px;
                               margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">
                               <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="200">
                                   <tr style="height:60px;">
                                   <td class="header4" ><%#Eval("Products")%></td>
                                   </tr>
                                   <tr>
                                   <td align="center"><%--<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton2" ImageUrl="~/Images/Product.jpg" PostBackUrl='<%# Eval("Link")%>' runat="server" target="_blank" />--%>
                                   <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" ImageUrl="~/Images/Product.jpg"  runat="server" OnClientClick=<%# "window.open('" + Eval("Link") + "','',''); return false;" %>  /></td>
                                   </tr>
                               </table>


                           </div>
                       </AlternatingItemTemplate>
                       <ItemTemplate>
                       <div class="rlvI" style="height: 160px; width: 200px; margin-top: 5px;
                               margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">
                               <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="200">
                                   <tr style="height:60px;">
                                   <td class="header4"><%#Eval("Products")%></td>
                                   </tr>
                                   <tr>
                                   <td align="center"><asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton3" ImageUrl="~/Images/Product.jpg"  runat="server" OnClientClick=<%# "window.open('" + Eval("Link") + "','',''); return false;" %>  /></td>
                                   </tr>
                               </table>



                       </div>

                       </ItemTemplate>
                       <EmptyDataTemplate>
                           <div class="RadListView RadListView_Windows7">
                               <div class="rlvEmpty">
                                   There are no items to be displayed.</div>
                           </div>
                       </EmptyDataTemplate>
                       <LayoutTemplate>
                           <div style="width:1150px;" class="RadListView RadListViewFloated RadListView_Windows7">

Hi Gary,

RadListView does not provide grouping by category for now. You can use RadGrid instead of RadListView.

Hello Admin,

Is this functionality still unavailable? or it is available in new version of Telerik.

Thanks

Hello Mandeep,

Yes such functionality is still not implemented. If you are interested you could vote for it in PITS here:
ADD RadListView data grouping and aggregates.
