Unlimited parent children category with insert/update

[Mike Nogen]

Hello Rad-Community!

I´m trying to make the Grid support insert/update in a unlimited Category function based on a ID/ParentID structure. It´s very easy to make this work in one level scenario or where you know how deep things will go. It´s also very easy to just show an unlimited level structure WITHOUT insert/update. 

I havent found an example where it shows how this is done in an unlimited nested version.with insert/update function

Is there anyone out there that have made this and are willing to share an example.

Found the simple soultion. By just skipping the use of  datasource declaration  

DataSourceID="LinqDataSourceCategories"

 

in the ASPX layer and instead use the OnNeedDataSource event

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object source, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
       {
           RadGrid1.DataSource = db.Categories.ToList();
       }

Everthing was working. In my search for this soulution I also found another useful post regarding this that could help others.
