Master Detail & ItemDataBound ... which one

[Barry]

I have a RadGrid where I use the ItemDataBound event to modify the text displayed. I have a situation where the Master and Detail table have identical column names. I need to be able to tell which grid (Master or Detail) I'm dealing with in the ItemDataBound event.

It doesn't matter which grid is being binded, the same ItemDataBound code runs for both.

Thanks for you assistance.

Hi Barry,

You can use the "item.OwnerTableView.Name" property in the ItemDataBound to differentiate the Mater Table and Detail table 
Assign Name to the Master and Details and Check that in the code behind as show below

private void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.WebControls.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
       //identify to which table belongs the currently bound item
        if (e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "MyUniqueTableName")
       {
        //process requested operations
       }

}

Perfect!

I tried and failed to use the DataSourceName.

This works great!

Thanks for the advise.
