Hi, I am using a using a self referencing grid as shown in the article http://demos.telerik.com/ASPNET/Prometheus/Grid/Examples/Hierarchy/SelfReferencing/DefaultCS.aspx . It works great,but now I want to show another grid when user clicks on the last level of the heirarchy. Can anyone tell me the best way to do that? I am thinking of using a usercontrol edit form with a grid inside.$0$0$0$0I want to show websites by category, the categories are heirarchycal and one website can belong to more than category at different levels of the heirarchy.$0

Hi chirag,

Unfortunately the functionality you request is not attainable since each nested level in self-referencing hierarchy grid duplicates its master table definition. Hence if you add another grid in a template of the master table, it will be cloned for each detail level in the self-referencing hierarchy.

Your alternative is to "attach" self-referencing grid in a standard hierarchy presentation as shown in the sample project attached to this forum thread. Feel free to use the presented technique if doable for your particular configuration.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply. I ran the attached project and found that it is exatactly the opposite of what an looking for. The employee table should be shown at the last level of heirarchy. I solved the problem my manipulating the data in such a way that it created a heirarchy with employee at the last level, I also had to hide and show certain cells based on the kind of data that is being shown.
