Multi-level Hierarchy

Environment

Grid for Blazor

Description

I'm trying to see more than 1 level of hierarchy in my grid but i don't know how i would to such a thing with the current infrastructure.

Solution

If you don't know how many levels of nesting you have, consider using the Treelist or TreeView component instead. A grid is generally designed for flat data, while the TreeList and TreeView are designed for hierarchical data.

Put nested <TelerikGrid> instances in the DetailTemplate of their parents. This allows you to have multiple levels of nested grids. The example below shows a three-level hierarchy.

It is important to use named context variables, otherwise such code will not compile. Read more here.

<TelerikGrid Data="salesTeamMembers">
    <DetailTemplate Context="employeeItem">
        @{
            var employee = employeeItem as MainModel;

                <GridColumns>
                    <GridColumn Field="OrderId"></GridColumn>
