Master Detail using 2 Datagrids

[Pocket Rocket]

I am using 2 data grids to display master detail relatioships in a database.
I would like to findout how I can setup the datasource and datamember of the
grids to get this accomplished. The way I tried did not work:

grid1.datasource = this.dataset1;
grid1.datamembar = "parenttable";
grid2.datasource = this.dataset2;
grid2.datamember = "parenttable.parentchildrelation.childtable";

where paranttable and childtable are the names of parent and child tables
and parentchildrelation is the name of the one to many relationship between
the parent and child tables.


Thanks

PR,

Your code should look something like this:

grid1.DataSource = this.dataset1;
grid1.DataMember = "parenttable";
grid2.DataSource = this.dataset1;
grid2.DataMember = "parenttable.parentchildrelation";

Each grid should be bound to the same DataSet. Set the parent grid's
DataMember property to the name of the parent table. Set the child grid's
DataMember property to the name of the parent table, followed by a ".",
followed by the name of the DataRelation.

As you navigate through the rows in parent table in the parent grid,
you should see the corresponding child rows in the child grid.

I hope this information proves helpful.
