Master-Detail with auto-generated Detail rows, refresh problem

[Greg]

I have a master detail screen using gridviews.

When a new master row is saved, the server creates detail rows, but the detail gridview does not display/retrieve these new rows until a different master row is selected and then the new master row is again selected.

How can I get the detail gridview to retrieve these new rows as soon as the save is done?

Putting detailDataSource.Refresh() after the masterDataSource.SubmitChanges() does not work.

Thanks. (This is in a MVVM system btw).

Hello,

You will have to recreate the row in order to have the row details added to it. Would you try invoking a RadGridView.Rebind()?

I am not sure how to force a Rebind in my viewmodel event:


private void RowEditEnded(GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs args)
{
  if (!args.ChangesActuallyMade())
  {
    return;
  }

  // Loans is the QueryableDataServiceCollectionView
  Loans.SubmitChanges();
}

How do I reference the RadGridView that triggered this event so I can call Rebind after the SubmitChanges?

Hello,

You need a reference of RadGridView to invoke such a reset invoking its Rebind() method.
Another way would be to raise a CollectionChanged notification for the row you create detail rows for. Is it possible for you to remove the entire row and then insert/add it again after you updated it accordingly?

I am new to MVVM and Telerik, so please excuse these basic questions:

- How do you get a reference to an object in the view from with the viewmodel? (My viewmodel does not have a direct reference to the view).

- How would I raise the CollectionChanged notification as you suggest?

Thanks.

I resolved this problem by resetting the FilterDescriptor used by the child gridviews in the parent gridview's QueryableDataServiceCollectionView's OnSubmittedChanges event.

Even if the resulting filter matches the pre-existing filter, it triggers the refresh I needed.
