Hi,
i try to use telerik controls in a lightswitch application.
I´ve made a simple Project with customers and orders.

Now, i try to display the orders in a row Detail.

If i place two user controls in the lightswitch Screen (one for the customers, one for the orders), everything works fine.But when i place the orders in the row Detail, no datas are displayed. I think, there is a Problem with binding. But i can´t find any solution.

Regards

Thomas

Hello,

 You should have orders collection for your customer object if you want to place the orders grid in the customers grid row details. The DataContext of the row/row details is the customer.

Hello Vlad,

i try this since 4 days and can´t find the right Syntax.

Can you give me a code sample?

Regards

Thomas

Hi,

 Here is it:

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Customers}">
  <telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
     <DataTemplate>
         <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}" />
....

I would like to point once again that in this case you should have Orders collection property on your Customer object.

Hi,

did you have tried this anytime with an entire lightswitch Project?

It´s not possible for me to make a running application. Also i can´t find any sample with these needs.

I can bind, whatever i want, but the Details grid is allways empty. I´ts a really simple Lightswitch application. A customer dataset with Name and a orderdata set with ordernumber. Also a relation between customer and order. By this relation, in Customer dataset exists a property named Ordercollection. But also by binding this property like in your sample, the Detail grid is empty.

My be, i´m to stupid to understand what i have to to. But after 4 days with trys and errors, it´s really frustrating.

Regards

Thomas

Additional Info:

Here is my code. Now, i get an error, if i expand the row.

Hello,

Let's look at your code:


I seriously doubt that property of the Customer class which contains the collection of Orders is called "OrderItem".

Does the Customer class have an IEnumerable property called OrderItem which contains all the Order for the Customer? Can you confirm this? Isn't it called Ordercollection as you mentioned in your previous post. If it is called Ordercollection, then why on earth are you binding the child grid to this non-existent OrderItem property?

Did you take a look at the source code that my colleague posted. Here it is again:


The thing in yellow should be the name of the IEnumerable property of your Customer class that contains the orders. You said that it is called Ordercollection. Hence the yellow thing should read Ordercollection and not OrderItem, which doubt that even exists on your Customer class. Is this so hard to understand?

Also, by setting AutoGenerateColumns to false, you tell the grid to not autogenerate the columns, because you will do it manually yourself. But you are not doing it anywhere. Hence, the grid is left without a single column. Why are you setting AutoGenerateColumns to false and then not defining any columns on the child grid. What do you expect to happen with this code.

Please, read RadGridView's online documentation before continuing with your project. I am sure that it will help avoiding this trial-and-error development approach and spare those days of frustration.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello,

No, it´s not to hard to understand, but allways the question: Did you hav tried this anytime with a Lightswitch-Project?

If so, why i cant´t find any sample like this in the entrire web?

I have read the online documentaion many times and i also worked with your samples. In Silverlight, there´s no Problem for me to get what i want.. But not in Lightswitch.

You are right, i posted the wrong code with AutogeneretedColums="false".

I modified the code as followed to match your snippet and it´s the same Problem.

I have two tables in LIGHTSWITCH
1.) Customer
ID -> integer
Name -> string
Order -> Collection of OrderItem

2.) Order
ID -> integer
OrderNumber -> integer
Customer -> CustomerItem

First of all, if i use your snippets like 


no customers are shown. Like in your Lightswitch Documentation i must use 
 

With this line of Code, the customers are shown in a RadGridView.

In the row Details, i use 
 
By using this, i get the Error posted in my last Topic if i open the Details. 

Btw: If i use this code in row Details as a seperate Elemt in my Lightswitch Screen, the data of order are displayed correctly.

Hello,

thanks for your time.

I think, i´ve found a solution.

It seems, the Object for order exists but it´s not possible to bind it directly.

From Karol Zadora:

Karol has craeted a ValueConverter to resolve this Problem. You can find the complete thread here:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lsextensibility/thread/bcdaa86f-459a-47d3-853a-3c5e56eb088a/

It works also for me in a row Detail.
