Replace http://mvc.syncfusion.com/Services/Northwnd.svc/Orders/ From Datasource and use own data source.

[MD. Zahirul Islam]

Hello!

 

I'm new with Syncfusion. I'm trying Syncfusion MVC Control. But I've faced a problem, When working with Hierarchy Grid. I saw you use Northwnd.svc for Child Grid Data Source. But I want to use my own data source. Can you help me?

Thank You

Hi Zahirul,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

Query: I want to use my own data source in the child Grid. Can you help me?

We suggest you to use your data source as either OData end point web service link or local data in the child Grid DataSource to perform the Hierarchy functionality in the Grid. Please refer the below code snippet for further details.

Web Service:

@(Html.EJ().Grid<EmployeeView>("HierarchyGrid")

    .Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource)

    --------

    --------

    .ChildGrid(child =>

    {

        // Here you can replace your own web service link

        child.Datasource("http://mvc.syncfusion.com/Services/Northwnd.svc/Orders/")

        ------

        ------

    })

)


Local Data:

public ActionResult GridFeatures()

        {

            //Parent data source

            var DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().EmployeeViews.ToList();

            ViewBag.datasource = DataSource;

            //Child data source

            var ChildData = new NorthwindDataContext().Orders.ToList();

            ViewBag.childData = ChildData;

            return View();
        }

@(Html.EJ().Grid<EmployeeView>("HierarchyGrid")

    .Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource)

    --------

    --------

    .ChildGrid(child =>

    {

         // Here you can set your own local data

        child.Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.childData)

        ------

        ------

    })

)
