Hi Shawn August,

     If we do want to use Wcf Service, we do need to use a client-binding in our WebGrid to bind the data. So, we cannot bind them in OnInitializeDataSource event. Here is the link to our Wcf Service data source documentation, "ms-help://ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.V7/ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid/Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Service.html".

     Also, we do have a running sample in our code sample. You can go to WebGrid samples and locate the ClientBinding_WcfService.aspx. I hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day.

Best Regards,

It doesn't matter what populates these objects. Please forget I even said WCF. I am trying to bind to a custom object using the OnInitializeDataSource. For example, bind to a List<Customer> where each Custom class has an instance of List<Order>.

Hi Shawn,

     Actually we do have a documentation on how to use the hierarchical WebGrid using a strongly typed object. You can go to "ms-help://ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.V7/ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid/Outbound Mode.html" at our WebGrid's documentation.

     To use grouping features, you can check them on our WebGrid sample named Grouping.aspx. It will show you on how to do a grouping in our WebGrid.

      I hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day.

Thank you for your response. I have spent a lot of time on this and haven't had any luck. Grouping will not work because I really need to show the relationship between parent/child (think of customer/order relationship).

Basically, I have a List<Customer> (custom object) and a List<Order> (custom object) and a simple ID field (property) is the relationship within the two. Can you please give me a sample of how to do that? Even the most simplistic example will help. I have a WCF web method that can populate these objects but I can't seem to figure out how to get the WebGrid to show the relationship in hierarchical view.

Thank you.

I have just been updated regarding this issue from the developer. Here is a quote from the developer regarding this issue:

After investigating, it appears this changes is by design. Popup should appear on the top of anything else, so users can select something from it easily. Eg, color picker, font list, etc. So the changes for popup zindex is as expected.

The changes is by design and not a bug.

It must be a bug because before the release it appeared above the WebTreeView/WebCombo control and now it is behind it. Please refer to the inital post in this thread for details.

This currently is not an issue because I was able to change the Z-INDEX of the WINDOW.

Hello Shawn,

Yes, it seems all you conclusion is true. UpdatePanel is the best for your scenario. I will try to push our developer teams about the fix.

Thank you. Can you advise on if this will make the next release?
