I dont have a samply handy at the moment but let me try to explain:

Lets say I have the following grid:

Parent Row #1

Child Row #1 - Header Text is my column name of "Child"

Parent Row #2

Child Row #2 - Header Text is my column name of "Child"

Parent Row #3

Child Row #3 - Header Text is my column name of "Child"

In the example above I have 3 parent rows and 1 child row for each parent, with a single column (Child, Child, Child).  What I want to do is change the header text depending on what parent row is clicked.  So if I clicked Parent Row #1 I want the child header text to say "Child 1 RowExpanded", as follows:

Parent Row #1

Child Row #1 - Header Text is supposed to be "Child 1 RowExpanded"

Parent Row #2

Child Row #2 - Header Text is supposed to be "Child 2 RowExpanded"

Parent Row #3

Child Row #3 - Header Text is supposed to be "Child 3 RowExpanded"

The problem I am having is when I click on the first row Parent #1 the child text is staying as "Child" instead of displaying "Child 1 RowExpanded".  Then, when I click on Parent Row #2 the child text is displaying "Child 1 RowExpanded" whereas it should display "Child 2 RowExpanded" and the same for Parent Row #3, the child header text is displaying "Child 2 RowExpanded" instead of "Child 3 RowExpanded".

Does that help at all, once I get back maybe I can put up a sample too if this doesnt make sense.

Thanks alot.

Hi,

This actually does make sense.  I'm not entirely sure where you're changing the header text.  In the row expanded of the parent?  Maybe try in row island databinding?  Another thing to try would be to turn EnableAjax to false and put the whole grid in an update panel.  Until I see a sample, its hard to give more detailed suggestions.

thanks,

Abhijeet,

For us to assist you it is important to provide more details about how the solution isn't working as well as what version of the toolset you are using.

Above solution not working.

Thanks everyone who helped.  Valerie's answer worked.

Hello,

In the RowExpanded event you can get the child grid of the row using the RowIslands property. Once you have the child Grid you can set the header text of the column:

Select Case i

            Case 2

                e.Row.RowIslands(0).Columns(2).Header.Text = "Fuller Emp"

                'whdg1.Bands(0).Columns(2).Header.Text = "Fuller Emp"

            Case 12

                e.Row.RowIslands(0).Columns(2).Header.Text = "Test Person Emp"

                'whdg1.Bands(0).Columns(2).Header.Text = "Test Person Emp"

            Case 13

                e.Row.RowIslands(0).Columns(2).Header.Text = "Joe Smith Emp"

                'whdg1.Bands(0).Columns(3).Header.Text = "Joe Smith Emp"

        End Select

Please let me know if you have any questions.
