Hello Asra,

You can try the following code in the PreRender event of the grid to check if the row is expanded or not:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            if (item.Expanded)
            {
                //  code here
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Hi,

One suggestion in your case is setting the Visible property of grid in user control to "False" initially. And set the Visible proeprty when expanding the item. Invoke the Rebind() method after setting the Visible property to fire the NeedDataSource event to populate the grid whenever its showing on page.

In ItemCommand event of parent grid, you can access the grid control placed iin uc and set the Visible property to "True" as shown below. Here is an example.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExpandCollapseCommandName)
    {
        Usercontrol uc = (Usercontrol)((GridDataItem)e.Item).ChildItem.FindControl("Usercontrol1"); // Access the UC
        RadGrid gridinUC = (RadGrid)uc.FindControl("RadGridinUC");
        if (!e.Item.Expanded)
        {
            gridinUC.Visible = true;
            gridinUC.Rebind();
        }
        else
        {
            gridinUC.Visible = false;
        }
    }
}
