[Solved] Master/Detail in seperate grids rather than embedded

[Jonathan]

I have looked at the Master/Detail examples where you have a row and click a '+' to expand a row to show a grid below it.

Is there a way to have 2 grids on a page and when a row is selected in the top grid the bottom grid gets populated?

Definitely!

The Grid for MVC exposes a "onRowSelect" event that can be used to take actions as the result of a Grid row selection. By handling this event, you can easily bind a second grid on a page as the result of clicking on a row in the first.

In fact, there is an online demo showcasing this exact scenario. Check-out this master/detail 2-Grid demo and see if it helps:

Hope that helps answer your question.

That does help thanks however if I want to add a record in the detail grid how can I specify the current id that is being used so i can call the Insert Action method and return a result using GetById method with the current id
