My apologies if this has already been answered before but I'm not really sure of the right verbiage to use when searching the forums. I am trying to databind a collection to a Web Gridview in VS 2005. I have a self servicing model with the following entiies

Company CompanyGuid Name etc...

UserInfo UserInfoGuid CompanyGuid FirstName LastName etc..

I am trying to display in my Gridview all items in the UserInfoCollection plus the Name of the Company referenced by a UserInfo item. Is there a simple way of doing this?? thanks in advance. Brett

Perhaps you might want to have a look at the DetailView control. Its no execatly what you require, but it might help. The url is:

Thanks for the info. From my understanding of DetailsView I don't think this is what I'm looking for. I'm looking to display a listing of the userinfo records while aslo including a column for the company name, which is located in the realted entity. Unless I'm missing something simple during the databind, what I may need to be looking into is a Type List. Brett

If you are fetching an Entity Collection of UserInfo Entities. Then you might need to:

1- Go to the LLBLGen Pro designer, go to your UserInfo Entity properties, then to the FieldsOnRelatedFields Tab. Add the CompanyName to those fields.

2- Specify a prefetchPath for Companies when you are fetching the UserInfo Collection.
