Support for Hierarchies

GridGroupingControl provides built-in support for the display of hierarchical relationships. Such relationship can be either defined in the dataset or can be manually set up between multiple tables. If the hierarchical relationships are defined in the dataset itself then the grid will automatically pick them up and display them.

The records involved in these hierarchical relationships are totally synchronized with each other in a such a way that a change in any of the record updates the others as well, if needed. The parent records are expandable and collapsible. It adds plus/minus buttons for every record that has nested relations. Using these buttons, the record can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide the underlying detail records.

The below screen shot shows a grouping grid that is bound with an hierarchical dataset comprising of three tables interconnected using a master detail relationship.
