Hello,
Thank you for the reply with the sample solution, Actually I figure it out by binding the inner grid to ObjectDataSource and this object data source bind it to custom methods I've created and it works good, I have another issue now with RadTabStrip, I have a rad grid and inside it there is a link button which basically when clicking it opens another tab in RadTabStrip, but it is client side clicking, I want once this other tab opened to bind the other rad grid inside it to be bind from the data source, I've tried every possible way you can imagine with no luck, there is a test button inside the other tab when clicking it causing post back and it binds the grid, I want similar scenario to happen when clicking the link button client side.
Thanks,
Nabeel.

Hello Nabeel,

I am afraid I am unable to fully understand your scenario.
Please let me know what the tabs and the pageviews are, what the code for binding the grid is and how you select the corresponding tab.

I am looking forward to your reply.

All the best,

I'm selecting the tab using java script it is called when the user click a link button inside a radGrid in the first tab, once the user click this link it is executing a client side click like this:
   <ItemTemplate>
                                                        <asp:LinkButton ID="link1" runat="server" %>' OnClientClick="switchTabs();"
                                                        ></asp:LinkButton>
                                                    </ItemTemplate>

this is the switchTabs function:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function switchTabs() {
            
        var tabStrip = $find("<%= RadTabStrip1.ClientID %>");
        
        var tab = tabStrip.findTabByText("Manage");
        if (!tab) {
            alert("There is no tab with text \"" + text + "\"");
            return false;
        }
        
        tab.set_selected(true);
    }
</script>
in the second tab that will be selected there is another RaGrid, I need it to be rebinded from the data source once the user do the client side clicking.
I hope this scenario is clear.
Thanks.

Hello Nabeel,

Please try using the following code and let me know whether it works for you:

function switchTabs() {

    var tabStrip = $find("<%= RadTabStrip1.ClientID %>");

    var tab = tabStrip.findTabByText("Manage");
    if (!tab) {
        alert("There is no tab with text \"" + text + "\"");
        return false;
    }

    tab.set_selected(true);
    tab.get_pageView().select();
    $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView().rebind();

}

I hope it helps.
