How to bind to a simple class with properties of List<T> for the child relations

[David Adkins]

I'm sorry if I'm missing a tutorial. I'm evaluating the GridGroupingControl. I have a class with public properties that I'm setting the DataSource of the grid to a List<T> for that class type. It works but now I'm trying create a relation that would expand a row and show another grid of a different class. The children of a row are a public property of List<T> for the childtype class. It is having a runtime error of   Message=Possible incorrect RelationDescriptor.ChildTableName for Relation relCauses.

Engine.SourceListSet[Causes] returned null.

Did you forget to call Engine.SourceListSet.Add(new SourceListSetEntry(Causes, list)

or did you specify a wrong ChildTableName?

Any advice or a simple demo of Parent/Children/Grandchildren using simple .NET bare bones classes with properties of List<T> for the children?

Hi David, 

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Did you forget to call Engine.SourceListSet.Add(new SourceListSetEntry(Causes, list)  or did you specify a wrong ChildTableName?	We have created a simple sample as per your requirement. The relational child table can be added to a parent table in GridGroupingControl by adding the childTable to Engine.SourceListSet. The childTable name should be registered with Engine.SourceListSet, so that the RelationDescriptor can get the child table name. Please make use of below code and samples,    //Assigning Data source to Grid  gridGroupingControl1.DataSource = parentTable;    //Registering the child table with SourceListSet  gridGroupingControl1.Engine.SourceListSet.Add("ChildTable",childTable);    //Adding Foreignkey reference to grid  GridRelationDescriptor relation = new GridRelationDescriptor();  relation.RelationKind = RelationKind.RelatedMasterDetails;  relation.ChildTableName = "ChildTable";  relation.RelationKeys.Add("CategoryID", "CategoryID");  relation.ChildTableDescriptor.AllowEdit = true;  gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Relations.Add(relation);    Already we have provided the information in our user guide document.
