Looping the childgridviewtemplates childrows

[gerbrand]

Hi,

I have a hierarchy in the gridtable view.

Now I want to get the childrows of the selected items in the mastergridviewtemplate.

Like this:

foreach (var masterrow in rgvAdserverNetwork.MasterGridViewTemplate.Rows)
{
    var childRows = masterrow.ViewTemplate.ChildGridViewTemplates[0].GetChildRows(masterrow);
    foreach( var child in childRows)
    {
      foreach(GridViewCellInfo cell in child.Cells)
      {
        Console.WriteLine(cell.Value);
      }
    }
}

Now I get an NullReference on the cell.Value.

When I look in de debugger the child.Cells.Count is triggering this.

What am I doing wrong here?

Tried several things, everytime the same error...

Thanks a lot in advance

Okay I found the solution on the forum.

Had to take a better look at the forum before posting this question.

The thing is that you have to expand the childs. 

Here is it explained:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/iterating-the-child-rows-of-each-parent-row-in-hierarchical-grid.aspx

This sentence should be added in the help files under the subject : "Iterating the child rows collection of a chosen parent row inhierarchy RadGridView"

=> "To access the child row cells you have to expand hierarchy before iterating. So IsExpanded=true is needed, because RadGridView uses virtualization. Child cells do not get create before the child view is expanded."
