Nested Grid Loading Issue

[Param Eswaran]

Dear Telerik,

                 Is there any way to bind the child (or) nested grid based on the corresponding tab selected?

Say example, if I select the first tab of the nested grid the respective grid need to be bind only that time rest of grids not need to bind. Suppose if I go to the second tab then the only that time the second grid need to bind mean while the first tab grid data need to be set nothing or clear.

 

Whether the above mentioned way would help to achieve the speed or performance of the grid. If so point out how we can achieve the scenario.

I used the below mentioned to bind the nested grid's already, but it leads to slow in loading the nested grid for each operations

protected void ParentGrid_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridDataItem item in ParentGrid.MasterTableView.Items)
          {
                if (item.Expanded)
                {
                  //foreach (GridNestedViewItem item1 in RadFirmGrid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView))
                  //{
                    GridNestedViewItem item1 = RadFirmGrid.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView)[item.ItemIndex] as GridNestedViewItem;

                    // Binding Cutomer grid
                    RadGrid Child1 = (RadGrid)item1.FindControl("Customer");

                    // Binding Products grid
                    RadGrid Child2 = (RadGrid)item1.FindControl("Products");

Looking forward for your guidance

-Thanks

Hi Param,

Basically, with such a setup, only the relevant tabs/levels of the control are populated. For example, when expanding another level of the control, the grid would not repopulate, only the data for the new level(s) will be fetched. This behavior is demonstrated in the following example:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/hierarchy/nestedviewtemplate/defaultcs.aspx

Other than this, changing the datasource explicitly for any level, is not a feasible approach - the data needs to be passed either through DetailTableDataBind, or through a datasource control.
I hope this information helps.

Sincerely yours,
Yavor
