Hi Darrell,

I use a WHDG in my application. I am using a WHDS to bind the data. I don't want all the columns fetched in views to be displayed as some of them are used for my reference. I couldn't customize the columns AutoGenreated by the the WHDG. Is there a a way to do this?

As an alternative, I used the RowIslandsPopulating methode to bind a ContainerGrid as the child grid. And I managed to show only the necessary columns. But the problem with this is I am not able to edit the data  in cells. Is it possible to make ContainerGrid editable?

can u please post me the *.aspx also. i want this same functionality and i am having problems with the bands concept.

 I highly doubt you are going to be able to switch the child grid to a different control, in fact, I would say you aren't going to be able to do it.  The WebGrid just doesn't support what you are trying to do (placing a FormView as the child band display object).

Does your DataSet object have the proper relation set up in it?   

Ed,

Thanks for your response.

I agree that in a GridView this can be done fairly easily but I suspect that it can be done with the UltraWebGrid as well if we could wire into the events of the UWG.

I would assume if I could tie into the row created event of the UWG and create a FormView, load it with data in code and bind it to the child of the Row. The problem here I am having is how to tie it into the child of the Row, do I do a band?

I hope someone who has done this with UWG can respond.

Thanks for reading.
