DataGridDetailDescription Class
In This Topic
The DataGridDetailDescription class provides information about a detail relation whose content will be displayed as the details of the master data items in a grid or as the data items of another detail.
Syntax
Example
All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the
Employees table of a LINQ data context or Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
The following example demonstrates how to create and use a custom detail description that handles LINQ detail relations, which are provided by properties to which the AssociationAttribute is applied.The following example demonstrates how to explicitly define detail descriptions for the DataRelations found in the DataTable to which the grid is bound and how to calculate statistical functions for a detail description whose results will be displayed in the StatRows contained in the footer sections of the details to which the description's corresponding detail configuration will be applied.
