Hi All,

I am trying to put together a form that when submitted would represent a parent entity with child entities and child child entities. I would like to use RadGrid to store the child entities on the page before the submit. There is a single submit that will save everything in the page.

I am using RadWindow to pop-up a (sub)form which i hope to then insert the result of the form into the grid on the parent page.. either with js or in ajax. I have the form and i am sending the result back to the main form.. i need to now write the result of the sub-form to the grid.

Can i use radgrid to do this?? ie: have each row in a grid represent a related entity in the grid? There is no databanding in this i am strictly trying to use the grid as a container for data i want to ultimately submit back to the server.

If this can be done i need to know how to add the rows either in JS or in code-behind for the grid where these added rows will ultimately be available in code-behind. thanks!

Rich

Hello Rich,

I am afraid that the desired functionality is not supported by RadGrid. Please note that the RadGrid control is a component that displays data obtained from a database or other data source. In a hierarchical grid, detail tables must be bound separately from their parent tables, using a separate data source. When binding detail tables, you must also manage the relationship of the records in the detail data source to the parent table.

Kind regards,
