TelerikGrid: Binding complex object field to DataGridTextColumn

[shalini]

Hi ,

<telerikGrid:DataGridTextColumn CanUserEdit="True" CanUserFilter="True" CanUserSort="True" Header ="Segment" Name="Segment" PropertyName="Segment.val"/>

 and there is and object Segment

public class Segment

{

int id;

string val;

}

this is not binding the data to column. If custom template is used, we have to comprise on the filter. Is there any solution where I bind the complex object and also should be able to filter the column. Please help me.

Hello Shalini,

Nested properties are not supported out of the box. Nevertheless, this functionality can be easily achieved by inheriting DataGridTextColumn. 

I have prepared sample project demonstrating how this can be achieved. Please have a look at the attachment and let me know if this helps.


P.S. Keep in mind that nested properties are not supported in Edit scenario (if you have such scenario you can set CanUserEdit to this column to be displayed in read-only mode always).
