Rebind Grid with Dataset that has Nested Relations

Hi,

I am doing rebind Grid Grouping Control(v2.0.50727) with data set that has GrandChild Relations. When I am chaging the Grid view from dataset that has Nested Relations to another view I am getting the following error.

Please help me with this issue.

Hi Haneef,

I have followed the Example GridGroupingRebind. In my Grid I have 3 views. Each view has a different datasource. One of the Grid view has Parent to Child and Child to Grand Child Relation dataset. When I switch the Grid from this view to another I am getting the above exception. The Exception is coming from GridGroupingControl.ResetTableDescriptor().

Please see below for my GridRebind() code.

private void BindData(ForecastExceptionsDataSet ds, VIEWEXCPS excpView)
{
try
{
//ggFcstExcps is the GridGrouping Control
this.ggFcstExcps.DataBindings.Clear();

switch (excpView)
{
case VIEWEXCPS.EXCP_TYPE:
this.ggFcstExcps.DataSource = ds.BUYER_EXCPS_COUNT_BY_EXCPTYPE;
break;
case VIEWEXCPS.VENDOR:
//change this later to Vendor Table
this.ggFcstExcps.DataSource = ds.BUYER_ROG_LIST;
break;
case VIEWEXCPS.WAREHOUSE:
this.ggFcstExcps.DataSource = ds.WH_EXCEPTIONS;
break;

default:
this.ggFcstExcps.DataSource = ds.BUYER_EXCPS_BY_EXCPTYPE;
break;

}

if (this.ggFcstExcps.TableDescriptor != null)
{

this.ggFcstExcps.ResetTableDescriptor();
this.ggFcstExcps.TableDescriptor.Relations.Reset();
}

// Show group area
this.ggFcstExcps.ShowGroupDropArea = false;

// Additionial table descriptors currently habe to be added manually.
AddGroupDropAreas(this.ggFcstExcps.Table);

// Make changes to schema. See above notes how to reset changes.
SetReadOnly(this.ggFcstExcps.Table);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrorHandler.HandleError(new ErrorDetails(Error.C17201, ex));
}

}
Please help me with this issue.

Thanks
Uma

I have solved this issue by calling this line of code before setting the data source to the Grid.

this.gridGroupingControl1.Tabledescriptor.Relations.clear();
