unknown number of heirarchy

[Rafia Tapia]

Hi,
I have a object called ObjNodeProperties that is defined as follow

 

public struct ObjNodeProperty

 

 

{

 

private string _PropertyName;

 

 

 

private string _PropertyType;

 

 

 

private string _PropertyValue;

 

 

 

private List<ObjNodeProperty> _InternalValues;
}
I am trying to bind a List<ObjNodeProperty> but what I want that for each _internalValues and even within each _internalValues it should create a childe template. There is no restriction on how many level deep a particular ObjNodeProperty object could be. Also on the grid I only want two columns of _PropertyName and _PropertyValue. How do I restrict the binding to only those two column.

Thanks for the help

I was able to figure out my solution but I could not use binding. I am putting the solution here for anybody who is interesting

 

I had to make a slight modification to my data stucture so that the parent, child relation could be establish for the grid. Below is my data structure

 

public struct ObjProperty

{

        private int _PropertyID;

        private int _ParentID;

        private string _PropertyName;

        private string _PropertyValue;

        private List<ObjProperty> _InternalValues;

}

 

In my form load event, I am creating the columns for the master template like this

 

PropertyDisplayGrid.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

PropertyDisplayGrid.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyName"){HeaderText="Property Name", HeaderTextAlignment=ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter});

PropertyDisplayGrid.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyValue") { HeaderText = "Property Value", HeaderTextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter});

PropertyDisplayGrid.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyID") { IsVisible = false });

PropertyDisplayGrid.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyParentID") { IsVisible = false });

 

Then finally on a click event I am populating the grid

 

InsertPropertyInGrid(MyPropCollection, PropertyDisplayGrid.MasterGridViewTemplate);

 

where the InsertPropertyInGrid is implemented as follow

 

private void InsertPropertyInGrid(List<ObjProperty> propColl, GridViewTemplate propgrid)

                {

            foreach (ObjProperty prop in propColl)

            {

                propgrid.Rows.Add(new object[] { prop.PropertyName, prop.PropertyValue, prop.PropertyID, prop.ParentID });

                if (prop._InternalValues != null)

                {

                    GridViewTemplate _childtemplate = new GridViewTemplate(){AllowAddNewRow = false, AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill};

                    _childtemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyName") { HeaderText = "Property Name", HeaderTextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter});

                    _childtemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyValue") { HeaderText = "Property Value", HeaderTextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter});

                    _childtemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyID") { IsVisible = false });

                    _childtemplate.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("PropertyParentID") { IsVisible = false });

                    propgrid.ChildGridViewTemplates.Add(_childtemplate);

                    GridViewRelation relation = new GridViewRelation(propgrid) { ChildTemplate = _childtemplate, RelationName = "InternalValues" };

                    relation.ParentColumnNames.Add("PropertyID");

                    relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("PropertyParentID");

                    PropertyDisplayGrid.Relations.Add(relation);

                    InsertPropertyInGrid(prop._InternalValues, _childtemplate);

                }

            }

        }
