NestedViewTemplate bind to collection of objects

[Thom]

Hello,

I have a question regarding data binding a RadGrid that is hosted in a "long" list of GridTableViews and RadGrids.

The scenarios is this:
1. We have hierarchy of 4 levels . All levels are representing by a business object that has a property holding a collection of the next level. (Let's say firstLevel->secondLevel and so on).

Example:
'class FirstLevel
{
type ID;
SecondLevel[] SecondLevels;
}'
2. The last level (forthLevel) has in it's signature 2 collections. (firstSubLevel, secondSubLevel).

Example:
'class ForthLevel
{
type ID;
FristSubLevel[] FirstSubLevels;
SecondSubLevel[] SecondSubLevels;
}'

Because displaying 5 levels as "successive" grids might be hard for a user to follow we decided the two sub-levels  to be displayed in a RadMultiPage control (just as in the RadGrid demo http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/hierarchy/nestedviewtemplate/defaultcs.aspx ) . To do this,  after a long list of (DetailTables as GridTableView), we try to set the last one's  NestedViewTemplate.

The problem I am facing is that I don't seem to find a way to bind the two "sub-level" RadGrid controls to the right data. Please keep in mind that all this data is coming as a collection of business objects.

How can I achieve this ?

Thank you,
Stefan

Hi Thom,

Thank you for contacting us.

Please, take a look at the attached sample on how to bind the nested grid to a collection of objects related to the parent item in the parent grid.

Hope it will prove helpful.
