Gridview inside gridview in asp.net - nested gridview example


Gridview inside gridview in asp.net - nested gridview exampleIntroduction


In this article I will explain how to implement gridview with in a gridview example or nested gridview with expand/collapse options in asp.net. 

Description

In previous posts I explained asp.net gridview examples and 
bind data to textbox control in gridview ,Bind data to dropdownlist  in gridview in asp.net. Now I will explain how to implement gridview within gridview or nested gridview example in asp.net.

To implement this concept first design tables (Country and State) in your database as explained in this post populate dropdown based on another dropdown in asp.netAfter completion of table design write following code in your aspx page like this 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Gridview within Gridivew - Nested gridview example in asp.net </title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function divexpandcollapse(divname) {
var div = document.getElementById(divname);
var img = document.getElementById('img' + divname);
if (div.style.display == "none") {
div.style.display = "inline";
img.src = "minus.gif";
else {
div.style.display = "none";
img.src = "plus.gif";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="gvParentGrid" runat="server" DataKeyNames="CountryId" Width="300"
AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowDataBound="gvUserInfo_RowDataBound" GridLines="None"BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px"  BorderColor="#df5015">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#E1E1E1" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-Width="20px">
<ItemTemplate>
<a href="JavaScript:divexpandcollapse('div<%# Eval("CountryID") %>');">
<img id="imgdiv<%# Eval("CountryID") %>" width="9px" border="0" src="plus.gif" />
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CountryId" HeaderText="CountryId" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="CountryName" HeaderText="CountryName" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left"/>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td colspan="100%">
<div id="div<%# Eval("CountryID") %>" style="displaynonepositionrelativeleft15pxoverflow:auto">
<asp:GridView ID="gvChildGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" BorderStyle="Double" BorderColor="#df5015" GridLines="None" Width="250px">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#E1E1E1" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="StateID" HeaderText="StateID" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="StateName" HeaderText="StateName" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now add following namespaces in codebehind

C# Code


using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
After that add following code in code behind


SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB");

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridview();
}
}
// This method is used to bind gridview from database
protected void BindGridview()
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select TOP 4 CountryId,CountryName from Country", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
gvParentGrid.DataSource = ds;
gvParentGrid.DataBind();

}
protected void gvUserInfo_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
con.Open();
GridView gv = (GridView)e.Row.FindControl("gvChildGrid");
int CountryId = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[1].Text);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from State where CountryID=" + CountryId, con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
gv.DataSource = ds;
gv.DataBind();
}
}
VB.NET Code


Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
Partial Class VBSample
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=SureshDasari;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=MySampleDB")

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
BindGridview()
End If
End Sub
' This method is used to bind gridview from database
Protected Sub BindGridview()
con.Open()
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select TOP 4 CountryId,CountryName from Country", con)
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds)
con.Close()
gvParentGrid.DataSource = ds
gvParentGrid.DataBind()

End Sub
Protected Sub gvUserInfo_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
con.Open()
Dim gv As GridView = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("gvChildGrid"), GridView)
Dim CountryId As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells(1).Text)
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select * from State where CountryID=" & CountryId, con)
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds)
con.Close()
gv.DataSource = ds
gv.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
End Class
