version 1.0.2005.1 final (self-servicing) VS2005 asp.net 2.0


hiya,

This is quite difficult to explain. I'm binding a typedList to a grid. (telerik)

The grid groups the entities. It works absolutely fine when I'm binding 1:1 The typedList displays all the pups that are born to a specific dog.

dogName dateOfBirth fatherName motherName

eg

tblDog dogId PK fatherId FK (self-referencing to tblDog) colourId FK dogName

tblColour colourId colourName

My issue. I have to also display the "colour" of the dog. I tried to simply add the tblColour entity to the typedList.

The issue is that the predicate takes the ID of the father dog. The grid therefore displays the colour of the FATHER dog in every row, instead of displaying the respective colour of each pup.

I hope I have explained properly.

What I want the typedList to do is:

Select c.colourName From tblColour where fatherId =

Rather than: Select c.colourName From tblColour where dogId =

Can this be done?

I'm struggling.

many thanks,

yogi

hiya,

I managed to do it by creating new entity instances.

Thanks anyway,

yogi
