GridGroupingcontrol general help

[Todd]

Are there any samples or how to guides for binding an object hierarchy to an ASP.NET GridGroupingControl were I can customize the column names of the child collections?

I'm not sure if I should be setting up GridRelationDescriptor objects within code and how best to customize my columns within child collections.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,

Thank you for your patience.

If your intention is to bind an object datasource to the gridgrouping control it can be achieved by the following code:

$ sfwg:GridGroupingControl ID="GridGroupingControl1" runat="server" BorderCollapse="Separate" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1"  $   
 
$asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" runat="server" 
           TypeName="EmployeeList_CS" SortParameterName="SortExpression" EnablePaging="True" 
           MaximumRowsParameterName="PagesSize" 
           SelectMethod="GetRecords"
           DeleteMethod="DeleteRecord" 
           InsertMethod="InsertRecord"
           UpdateMethod ="UpdateRecord"
           SelectCountMethod="GetRowsCount" 
           StartRowIndexParameterName="StartRow"$
        $/asp:ObjectDataSource$   

Note: We have used '$' instead of '<'.

Also, Please refer the sample that is shipped with Essential GridGrouping Web to get more details regarding this issue

If I have misunderstood your requirement, could you please explain me in detail, so that I can work in
depth and try to send a better solution?

I’ve got lots of nested object hierarchies we would like to bind to grids for an treeview display of data. I’ve seen the examples on your website how to do this with a DataSet, but I can not find examples with object hierarchies. Can you point me to a sample?

So in other words the parent collection might be Orders, and each Order would contain a collection of OrderDetails, and each OrderDetails might contain and so on. How do I bind this object hierarchies to a grid so that I can customize the columns I want for the different levels? I would like to do this within the ASP.NET code as much as possible.

Thanks,
Todd

My question was about customizing the child columns within a grid that contained a treeview. I don't think the sample contains a treeview.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the update. SOrry for the inconvenience caused.

If your intention is to customize the column names of the child collections, it can be achieved by the following code:

 
gridRelationDescriptor.ChildTableDescriptor.Columns[2].HeaderText = "Changing";

For an tree view display of GridGrouping control, Please refer the sample that is shipped with Essential GridGrouping Web in the link below:

C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\My Documents\Syncfusion\EssentialStudio\6.2.0.32\Web\grid.grouping.web\Samples\2.0\RelatedTables\SelfReferentialGrid\cs
