Hey Soberly,

Would you mind attaching your page and your code behind for the manual binding?  I feel like I'm spinning my wheels as nothing I try seems to work.  Thanks!

Thanks!  Can you attach the code behind?  I also want to see how you're handling the manual binding.

For example, this is what I do to add rows.

       protected void WebHierarchicalDataGrid1_RowAdding(object sender, Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.RowAddingEventArgs e)
        {
            var container = (Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.ContainerGrid)sender;

            switch (container.Level)
            {

                case 0: //Items
                    break;

                case 1: // Hazard Risks

                    Model.IMdlHazard mdl = new Model.MdlHazard();

                    System.Exception exception = new Exception();

                    mdl.ItemID = int.Parse(e.Values["ItemID"].ToString());
                    mdl.Description = e.Values["Description"].ToString();
                    mdl.HazardSubCatID = int.Parse(e.Values["HazardSubCatID"].ToString());
                    mdl.UserName = "DP1\UserName";

                    DAL.DALRiskAssessment.tblHazard_Upd(ref mdl, out exception);

                    break;

                case 2 : //HazardRisks
                    break;

                case 3: //Groups Affected
                    break;
            }

          //  e.Cancel = true;

        }
    }
