I have a three level radgrid hierarchy and I have trouble retrieving the value for one of my columns within the 2nd level of my radgrid.  I have this code which retrieves the key for the radgrid parent as shown below:

parentItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(parentItem.ItemIndex)("ID").ToString


But I don't need the value of the key, instead I need the value of the 2nd column in one of the hierarchy levels in my radgrid.

How could I retrieve that value instead of the key....?

Hi Aret,

Try accessing the column value as shown below.
C#:
protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "DetailTable1")
  {
    GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
    string value = item["UniqueName"].ToString();
  }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thank You so much, you led me to the correct answer.  I just had to make one minor modification to the code you provided me with by changing .tostring() to .text as shown below:

string value = item["UniqueName"].Text;
