Master-Detail contains no detail data

[Danny]

Hello,

I'm evaluating the GridView component. In any case there will be no detail data bound to the grid.
Only if I'm using AutoGenerateHierarchy = true the detail will appear.

Previous steps in the designer:
- Defined two columns for master template (Vorname, Nachname) -> FieldName and HeaderText
- Created a new template called 'childTemplate' and add two columns (Firma, Ort) -> FieldName and HeaderText

As follow the code behind:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace TestForm
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private readonly List<Person> _personen = new List<Person>();

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();


            _personen.AddRange(new[]
                              {
                                  new Person {Vorname = "Danny", Nachname = "Meier", Jobs = new List<Job>
                                                                              {
                                                                                  new Job {Firma = "Heiniger & Partner AG", Ort = "Wetzikon"},
                                                                                  new Job {Firma = "Scor AG", Ort = "Zürich"},
                                                                                  new Job {Firma = "ERNI Consulting AG", Ort = "Zürich"}
                                                                              }},
                                  new Person {Vorname = "Michael", Nachname = "Bolliger", Jobs = new List<Job>()},
                                  new Person {Vorname = "Daniel", Nachname = "Kuster", Jobs = new List<Job>
                                                                                              {
                                                                                                  new Job {Firma = "Heiniger & Partner AG", Ort = "Wetzikon"}
                                                                                              }}
                              });
        }

        private void Form1Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            radGridView1.AutoGenerateHierarchy = false;

            var relation = new GridViewRelation(radGridView1.MasterTemplate, childTemplate);
            relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("Job");
            radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation);

            radGridView1.DataSource = _personen;
        }
    }

    public class Person
    {
        public string Vorname { get; set; }
        public string Nachname { get; set; }
        public List<Job> Jobs { get; set; }
    }

    public class Job
    {
        public string Firma { get; set; }
        public string Ort { get; set; }
    }
}

Thank you for any assistance.

Kind regards,

Hello Danny,

It looks like you have missed specifying the parent and child column names for your relationship. Please have a look at this help topic for full information.

Hope that helps but let me know if you need further assistance.

I don't think so.

I've tried to copy your sample from http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-hierarchical-grid-object-relational-hierarchy-mode.html (the second one)! Or is this simple only useable for customers who also use your ORM framework?

Hello Danny,

no, this is not tied to using OpenAccess ORM. You can do this in your example with AutoGenerateHierarchy set to true, without having to specify anything else. Here is a sample that should help.

Form1.Designer.cs

namespace RadControlsWinFormsApp1
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
