Master Details View in Windows Forms DataGrid (SfDataGrid)
2 Oct 202324 minutes to read
The SfDataGrid provides support to represent the hierarchical data in the form of nested tables by using Master-Details view. You can expand or collapse the nested table (DetailsViewDataGrid) by using an expander column in a row. You can also expand or collapse the nested table programmatically. The number of tables nested with relations are unlimited.
Generating Master-Details view from IEnumerable
The relation of Master-Details view can be generated for the properties of type IEnumerable in the underlying data object.
Follow the steps to generate the Master-Details view for IEnumerable:
- Create the data source with relations (Here, relations are
IEnumerabletype properties). - Defining relations
- Auto generating relations
- Manually defining relations.
Create the data source with relations
Create a OrderInfo class with OrderDetails property of type ObservableCollection to form the relation. The OrderDetails property is defined as ObservableCollection

Auto generating relations
The SfDataGrid will automatically generate relations and inner relations for the IEnumerable property types in the data object. This can be enabled by setting the SfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations to true.
Bind the created collection in the previous step to the SfDataGrid.DataSource and set the SfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations to true.
sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = true;sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = TrueWhen relations are auto-generated, you can handle the SfDataGrid.AutoGeneratingRelations event to customize or cancel the GridViewDefinition before adding it to the SfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions.
Here, the relation is created from OrderDetails collection property.
Manual defining relations
You can define the relation of Master-Details view manually by using the SfDataGird.DetailsViewDefinitions when the SfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations is false.
To define the Master-Details view relations, create GridViewDefinition and set the name of IEnumerable type property (from data object) to GridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn. Then, add the GridViewDefinition to the SfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions.
sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = false;
var gridViewDefinition = new GridViewDefinition();
gridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "OrderDetails";
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid = new SfDataGrid() { Name = "FirstLevelNestedGrid", AutoGenerateColumns = true };

Generating Master-Details view from DataTable
The relation of Master-Details view can be generated for DataTable, when the DataRelation is defined between two tables in the underlying DataSet.
Follow the steps to generate the Master-Details view relation for DataTable,
- Create the DataTable with relations.
- Defining relations
- Auto generating relations
- Manually defining relations
Create the DataTable with relations
Create a method GetDataTable type of DataTable which returns the DataTable with relations between Suppliers and Products tables in the DataSet based on SupplierID column.
/// <summary>
/// Gets the data table.
/// </summary>
public DataTable GetDataTable()
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();

SqlCeDataAdapter sqlDataAdapter1 = new SqlCeDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Suppliers", con);
sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(ds, "Suppliers");
}
using (SqlCeConnection con1 = new SqlCeConnection(connectionString))
{

SqlCeDataAdapter sqlDataAdapter1 = new SqlCeDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Products", con1);
sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(ds, "Products");
}
ds.Relations.Add(new DataRelation("Supplier_Product", ds.Tables[0].Columns["Supplier ID"], ds.Tables[1].Columns["Supplier ID"]));
if (ds.Tables.Count > 0)
return ds.Tables[0];

End If
End FunctionDefining relations
Auto generating relations
The SfDataGrid will automatically generate relations and inner relations based on the relations defined in the DataSet. This can be enabled by setting the SfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations to true.
Bind the created table in the previous step to the SfDataGrid.DataSource and set the SfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations to true.
sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = true;sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = TrueWhen the relations are auto-generated, you can handle the SfDataGrid.AutoGeneratingRelations event to customize or cancel the GridViewDefinition before adding it to the SfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions.
Here, Master-Details view relation is auto generated based on the Supplier_Product relation.
Manual defining relations
You can define the Master-Details view relation manually by using the SfDataGird.DetailsViewDefinitions collection when the SfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations is false.
To define the Master-Details View relations, create GridViewDefinition and set the relation name as Supplier_Product to GridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn. Then, the GridViewDefinition is added to the SfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions collection of the parent DataGrid.
sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = false;
// GridViewDefinition for DataGrid
var gridViewDefinition = new GridViewDefinition();
gridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "Supplier_Product";
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid = new SfDataGrid() { Name = "FirstLevelNestedGrid", AutoGenerateColumns = true };
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinition.Add(gridViewDefinition);sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = False
' GridViewDefinition for DataGrid
Dim gridViewDefinition = New GridViewDefinition()
gridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "Supplier_Product"
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid = New SfDataGrid() With {.Name = "FirstLevelNestedGrid", .AutoGenerateColumns = True}
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinition.Add(gridViewDefinition)
Populating Master-Details view through events
You can load the DataSource for DetailsViewDataGrid asynchronously by handling the SfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding event. You can set the DataSource on-demand when expanding the record through DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs.DetailsViewDataSource property in the SfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding` event handler.
this.sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding(object sender, DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs e)
{
OrderInfo orderInfo = e.Record as OrderInfo;
if (orderInfo.OrderID == 10000)
e.DetailsViewDataSource.Add("OrderDetails", GetDetailsViewDataSource());
}
private ObservableCollection<OrderDetails> GetDetailsViewDataSource()
{
ObservableCollection<OrderDetails> orderDetails = new ObservableCollection<OrderDetails>();
orderDetails.Add(new OrderDetails(1000, 2, 11, 2, 3, "Alan", DateTime.Today.AddDays(1), "Orlando"));
orderDetails.Add(new OrderDetails(1001, 2, 11, 2, 3, "Michael", DateTime.Today, "Chennai"));

End If
End Sub
Private Function GetDetailsViewDataSource() As ObservableCollection(Of OrderDetails)
Dim orderDetails As New ObservableCollection(Of OrderDetails)()
orderDetails.Add(New OrderDetails(1000, 2, 11, 2, 3, "Alan", DateTime.Today.AddDays(1), "Orlando"))
orderDetails.Add(New OrderDetails(1001, 2, 11, 2, 3, "Michael", DateTime.Today, "Chennai"))
Return orderDetails
End FunctionNOTE
This event will be trigged only when the underlying data object contains relations otherwise, you must define a dummy relation to notify the DataGrid to fire this event.
Defining properties for DetailsViewDataGrid
You can set properties like AllowEditing, AllowFiltering, and AllowSorting for DetailsViewDataGrid by using the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid property.
When manually defining relations
For manually defined relations, the properties can be directly set to the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.
GridViewDefinition firstLevelGridViewDefinition = new GridViewDefinition();
firstLevelGridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "OrderDetails";
SfDataGrid firstLevelNestedGrid = new SfDataGrid();
firstLevelNestedGrid.AllowSorting = true;
firstLevelNestedGrid.AllowFiltering = true;
firstLevelNestedGrid.AllowResizingColumns = true;

When making any change in one DetailsViewDataGrid, that change will be applied to all DetailsViewDataGrid in the same level. For example, when you resize the first column in one DetailsViewDataGrid, the same column width will be applied to all DetailsViewDataGrid at that level. This is applicable for features like filtering, sorting, grouping, and reordering columns.
Here, Quantity column is sorted in all DetailsViewDataGrid at the same level.
NOTE
FrozenRowCount, FooterRowCount, FooterColumnCount, and FrozenColumnCount properties are not supported while using Master-Details view.
Defining columns for DetailsViewDataGrid
The GridViewDefinition.DataGrid columns can be generated either automatically or manually like parent DataGrid. You can refer to here to know more about columns.
Auto generating columns
Auto generate the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid columns by setting the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.AutoGenerateColumns to true. Cancel or customize the column being created for GridViewDefinition.DataGrid by handling the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.AutoGeneratingColumn event.
GridViewDefinition firstLevelGridViewDefinition = new GridViewDefinition();
firstLevelGridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "OrderDetails";

End SubManually defining columns
You can directly define the columns to GridViewDefinition.DataGrid whenAutoGenerateColumns is false. When the relation is manually defined, you can define the columns directly to the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid by adding desired column to the SfDataGrid.Columns collection.
GridViewDefinition firstLevelGridViewDefinition = new GridViewDefinition();
firstLevelGridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "OrderDetails";

End SubHandling events for DetailsViewDataGrid
You can handle the DetailsViewDataGrid events by wiring the events to GridViewDefinition.DataGrid where the sender is GridViewDefinition.DataGrid. In another way, you can also handle DetailsViewDataGrid event through parent DataGrid event by setting the NotifyEventsToParentDataGrid property of GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.
When manually defining relations
For manually defined relation, the events can be wired from the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid directly.

Column sizing
The SfDataGrid allows you to apply column sizing to the DetailsViewDataGrid by setting the GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.AutoSizeColumnsMode like parent DataGrid. For more information, refer to the Column Sizing section.
Resizing parent DataGrid and DetailsViewDataGrid simultaneously
By default, the DetailsViewDataGrid column width will not be adjusted while resizing the parent DataGrid columns. You can adjust the DetailsViewDataGrid column width simultaneously while resizing the parent DataGrid by handling the DetailsViewLoading and ColumnResizing events.
NOTE
It is applicable only when the parent and
DetailsViewDataGridhaving same number of columns.
Setting the column width of the DetailsViewDataGrid is based on the parent DataGrid column in the DetailsViewLoading event.

End SubYou can also select a particular record by using the SelectedIndex property.
this.sfDataGrid.DetailsViewLoading += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewLoading;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewLoading(object sender, DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs e)
{
e.DetailsViewDataGrid.SelectedIndex = 1;

End SubRow selection
You can select multiple rows by using the SelectRows method.
var detailsViewDataGrid = this.sfDataGrid.GetDetailsViewGrid(2);
detailsViewDataGrid.SelectRows(1, 2);Dim detailsViewDataGrid = Me.sfDataGrid.GetDetailsViewGrid(2)
detailsViewDataGrid.SelectRows(1, 2)Appearance Customization
The appearance of the DetailsViewDataGrid can be customized like parent DataGrid through styling support in the SfDataGrid.
Changing header appearance of DetailsViewDataGrid
You can customize the header appearance of the DetailsViewDataGrid through the Style.HeaderStyle property of DetailsViewDataGrid.
sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = false;
var gridViewDefinition = new GridViewDefinition();
gridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "OrderDetails";
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid = new SfDataGrid() { Name = "FirstLevelNestedGrid", AutoGenerateColumns = true };
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid.Style.HeaderStyle.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#CAECCF");
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions.Add(gridViewDefinition);sfDataGrid.AutoGenerateRelations = False
Dim gridViewDefinition = New GridViewDefinition()
gridViewDefinition.RelationalColumn = "OrderDetails"
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid = New SfDataGrid() With {.Name = "FirstLevelNestedGrid", .AutoGenerateColumns = True}
gridViewDefinition.DataGrid.Style.HeaderStyle.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#CAECCF")
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions.Add(gridViewDefinition)When the relation is auto-generated, you can customize the header style to GridViewDefinition.DataGrid in the AutoGeneratingRelations event.
sfDataGrid.AutoGeneratingRelations += SfDataGrid_AutoGeneratingRelations;
private void SfDataGrid_AutoGeneratingRelations(object sender, AutoGeneratingRelationsEventArgs e)
{
e.GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.Style.HeaderStyle.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#CAECCF");
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.AutoGeneratingRelations, AddressOf SfDataGrid_AutoGeneratingRelations
Private Sub SfDataGrid_AutoGeneratingRelations(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AutoGeneratingRelationsEventArgs)
e.GridViewDefinition.DataGrid.Style.HeaderStyle.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#CAECCF")
End Sub
Hiding header row of Master-Details View
You can hide the header row of the DetailsViewDataGrid by setting the HeaderRowHeight property.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions[0].DataGrid.HeaderRowHeight = 0;sfDataGrid.DetailsViewDefinitions[0].DataGrid.HeaderRowHeight = 0
Customizing padding of the DetailsViewDataGrid
The padding of DetailsViewDataGrid can be customized through the DetailsViewPadding property and it will be set to its corresponding parent DataGrid.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewPadding = new Padding(20);sfDataGrid.DetailsViewPadding = New Padding(20)
Customize ExpanderColumn width
You can customize the width of the ExpanderColumn in the SfDataGrid by using the ExpanderColumnWidth property .
sfDataGrid.ExpanderColumnWidth = 50;sfDataGrid.ExpanderColumnWidth = 50
Expanding and collapsing the DetailsViewDataGrid programmatically
The SfDataGrid allows you to expand or collapse the DetailsViewDataGrid programmatically in different ways.
Expand or collapse all the DetailsViewDataGrid
You can expand or collapse all the DetailsViewDataGrid programmatically by using the ExpandAllDetailsView and CollapseAllDetailsView methods.
this.sfDataGrid.ExpandAllDetailsView();
this.sfDataGrid.CollapseAllDetailsView();Me.sfDataGrid.ExpandAllDetailsView()
Me.sfDataGrid.CollapseAllDetailsView()Expand or collapse DetailsView based on record index
You can expand or collapse DetailsViewDataGrid based on the record index by using the ExpandDetailsViewAt and CollapseDetailsViewAt methods.
this.sfDataGrid.ExpandDetailsViewAt(0);
this.sfDataGrid.CollapseDetailsViewAt(0);Me.sfDataGrid.ExpandDetailsViewAt(0)
Me.sfDataGrid.CollapseDetailsViewAt(0)Hiding expander when parent record’s relation property has an empty collection or null
By default, the expander will be visible for all the data rows in the parent DataGrid even if its RelationalColumn property has an empty collection or null.
You can hide the expander from the view when corresponding RelationalColumn property has an empty collection or null by setting the HideEmptyGridViewDefinition property to true.
sfDataGrid.HideEmptyGridViewDefinition = true;sfDataGrid.HideEmptyGridViewDefinition = True
Handling events
DetailsViewLoading
The DetailsViewLoading event is raised when the DetailsViewDataGrid is being loaded in to the view (when scrolling, changing window size, and expanding the record using an expander or programmatically).
This event receives two arguments where, the sender as SfDataGrid and DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs which contains the following member:
DetailsViewDataGrid: Gets the DetailsViewDataGrid loaded into view. You can set the customized Renderers, SelectionController, ColumnResizingController, ColumnDragDropController, and AutoSizeController to this. But, it is not preferable to change the value of the public properties like AllowFiltering, AllowSorting, SelectionMode, AllowDeleting, etc. here.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewLoading += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewLoading;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewLoading(object sender, DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs e)
{
if (!(e.DetailsViewDataGrid.SelectionController is CustomSelectionController))
e.DetailsViewDataGrid.SelectionController = new CustomSelectionController(sfDataGrid);
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewLoading, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewLoading
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewLoading(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs)
If Not(TypeOf e.DetailsViewDataGrid.SelectionController Is CustomSelectionController) Then
e.DetailsViewDataGrid.SelectionController = New CustomSelectionController(sfDataGrid)
End If
End SubDetailsViewUnLoading
The DetailsViewUnLoading event is raised when the DetailsViewDataGrid is being unloaded from the view.
This event receives two arguments where, the sender as SfDataGrid and DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs which contains the following member:
DetailsViewDataGrid: Gets the DetailsViewDataGrid unloaded from the view (when scrolling, changing window size, sorting, grouping, filtering, and collapsing the DetailsViewDataGrid using expander or programmatically).
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewUnloading += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewUnloading;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewUnloading(object sender, DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs e)
{
}AddHandler sfDataGrid. DetailsViewUnloading, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewUnLoading
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewUnloading(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewLoadingAndUnloadingEventArgs)
End SubDetailsViewExpanding
The DetailsViewExpanding event is raised when the DetailsViewDataGrid is being expanded by using an expander.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding(object sender, DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs e)
{
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs)
End SubDetailsViewExpanded
The DetailsViewExpanded event is raised after the DetailsViewDataGrid is expanded by using an expander.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanded += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanded;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanded(object sender, DetailsViewExpandedEventArgs e)
{
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanded, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanded
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewExpandedEventArgs)
End SubDetailsViewCollapsing
The DetailsViewCollapsing event is raised when the DetailsViewDataGrid is being collapsed from the view by using an expander.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewCollapsing += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing(object sender, DetailsViewCollapsingEventArgs e)
{
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewCollapsing, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewCollapsingEventArgs)
End SubDetailsViewCollapsed
The DetailsViewCollapsed event is raised after the DetailsViewDataGrid is collapsed by using an expander.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewCollapsed += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsed;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsed(object sender, DetailsViewCollapsedEventArgs e)
{
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewCollapsed, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsed
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewCollapsedEventArgs)
End SubCancel expanding or collapsing operations through events
You can cancel the expanding operation while expanding the DetailsViewDataGrid by using the DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs.Cancel property in the DetailsViewExpanding event handler.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding(object sender, DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.Record as OrderInfo).OrderID == 1002)
e.Cancel = true;
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewExpanding, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewExpanding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewExpandingEventArgs)
If (TryCast(e.Record, OrderInfo)).OrderID = 1002 Then
e.Cancel = True
End If
End SubSimilarly, the collapsing operation can be canceled through the DetailsViewCollapsingEventArgs.Cancel property in the DetailsViewCollapsing event handler.
sfDataGrid.DetailsViewCollapsing += SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing;
private void SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing(object sender, DetailsViewCollapsingEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.Record as OrderInfo).OrderID == 1002)
e.Cancel = true;
}AddHandler sfDataGrid.DetailsViewCollapsing, AddressOf SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing
Private Sub SfDataGrid_DetailsViewCollapsing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DetailsViewCollapsingEventArgs)
If (TryCast(e.Record, OrderInfo)).OrderID = 1002 Then
e.Cancel = True
End If
End SubMaster-Details view limitations
Limitations are:
-
DetailsViewDataGriddoes not have GroupDropArea. -
DetailsViewDataGriddoes not support AutoGenerateColumnsMode.ResetAll. Instead, it works based on Reset. - Master-Details view does not support data virtualization.
- Master-Details view does not support freeze pane.
- Master-Details view does not support AutoRowHeight.
- For DetailsViewDataGrid, properties like SelectionMode, DetailsViewPadding, AllowSelectionOnMouseDown, and RightToLeft are assigned from its parent grid only. So, both parent DataGrid and DetailsViewDataGrid cannot have different values for these properties.
