Hi all,

I'm tried to bind a entity to datagrid with a prefetch data, I check the prefetched data and its ok, but I don't no know to put info in column using datapropertyname here my code:

var orders = new TiquetsCollection();
var prefetchPath = new PrefetchPath(EntityType.TiquetsEntity);
prefetchPath.Add(TiquetsEntity.PrefetchPathCustomer);
rr.GetMulti(TiquetsFields.IdTiquet.Equal(1), prefetchPath);

dgv_orders.DataSource = orders;
dgv_orders.Columns[0].DataPropertyName = IdTiquet;
dgv_orders.Columns[1].DataPropertyName = Customer.Name;  //here my problem, the name is not showed on datagridview

Its possible do that without using typedview?

Thanks team!

What is 'Customer.Name' ? If you have to set it to a string, why not use nameof(CustomerEntity.Name) ?

dgv_orders.Columns[0].DataPropertyName = "IdTiquet";
dgv_orders.Columns[1].DataPropertyName = "Customer.Name";

Customer is an Entity and Name is a field of this.

edit: I put "dgv_orders.Columns[1].DataPropertyName = nameof(Customer.Name);" with same result, no value showed in datagrid

What can I do?

Many thanks

As far as I remember WinForms DataGrid can't bind to a nested property.

However you can expose the related entity property on the main entity. i.e. create a custom property inside the main entity that returns the related entity property (hint: first check if related entity is not null)

Do the above inside a #user_Code_region or better in a partial class file so it's won't get overwritten in the next code generation.

Hi finally I do that!!

Works ok, thanks

The designer has support for this btw Field mapped onto related field in the entity editor. You can define your fields there and they're automatically generated (and cleaned up when the model changes).
