Parent-Child Hierarchy grid from same table

[Alex]

Dear Telerik Team,

 I am having the table with parent child details in the same table.

1. id - 11 , parent - 1, name - aaa
2. id - 12, parent - 11, name - aab
3. id - 13, parent - 11, name --aac
4. id - 14, parent - 13, name -aad
5. id - 15, parent - 14, name - aae , and so on...

Now I want to create the hierarchy grid using this parent child relation. Any my table can have multiple levels,

Is there any chance to use only the parent-child id's, with out defining the details tables for every level??

 

Thanks 

Alex

Hi Alex,

It is not recommended to use RadGrid when you have self-referencing data. You could implement such scenario, however, it would require custom code and the performance would likely suffer.

If you would like to have self-referencing hierarchy you should use the RadTreeList control. It supports such data out of the box. Moreover, it would provide better performance in this scenario.
