[Solved] RadGrid with Column bound to Collection

[Johnnie Walker]

I need to bind a RadGrid to an object (called "Article").  

Most of the fields of this object are strings or ints and so are straightforward to display/sort/filter, but one of the fields is a collection of other objects (simple objects that just contain a name and a couple of other strings and ints).

What I need to do is:

a) Display the contents of the collection one of the columns of the grid.  If there is only one object in the collection I need to display it's name.  If there are multiple objects then I need to display the name of the first object and just append it with "(and n more)"

b) I need to be able to Filter on that column based on the names of the objects in the collection.  Ideally I would like a RadComboBox in the header that contains all of the names that exist in any of the collections.  When one is selected, only those rows who have that name in their collection should be displayed.

Have been trying to get this working for hours now.  Any help would be much appreciated!!
