Hi we can't acheive the functionality required by me using the WHDG self referencing I want only the first column to have the hierarchical nature without header in the child bands and rest of the columnns fixed i.e without hierarchical nature.Once clearly observe the  first screenshot given by me.How to do the above functonality?

You don't need to define more levels of hierarchy, the self reference band does it automatically - it will bind recursively until there is child data available in the data source (unless restricted by the MaxDataBindDepth property).

ya you are right  i did not observe that .

If possible can u provide one more example with more levels of hierarchy with no header for child bands

Thanks in advance

Yes, in the above sample only the root level has headers. The source code is in the second link. The idea is to define a child band with ShowHeader="false" and IsSelfReference="true".
