Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the child contexts of the master data items and collapse any expanded details using the CollapseDetail method.The next example provides the implementation of the button's Click event.The next example provides the implementation of the button's Click event.

<Grid>
  <Grid.Resources>
     <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_employees"
                                        Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                                         Path=Employees}"/>
 
  </Grid.Resources>
 
  <DockPanel>
     <Button Content="Collapse All Details"
             Click="Button_Click"
             DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>
     <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="EmployeesGrid"

  </DockPanel>
</Grid>

  Dim childContexts As New List( Of DataGridContext)( Me.EmployeesGrid.GetChildContexts() )
