Introduction
This article will explains all the functionality of a Nested Datagrid. There are following funtionalities in the applcation :
1) Add / Edit / Delete functions for parent and child datagrids.
2) Tree view for parent datagrid.
3) validation for adding data.
Objective :
Most of the datagrid applications are used for displaying data only. So I thought of adding the functionality (Add, Edit, Modify, Tree View) in the datagrid.
Database :
Northwind database has been used for the ease, but you need to create two tables to run the application. Database script for the table creation is included in the zip file. The two tables used are :
1) Custs
2) Ords
Design :
There are two datagrids in the application, 'dgCustomer' and 'dgOrders'. 'dgCustomer' is a parent datagrid and the child datagrid 'dgOrders' is generated based on the primary key of records of 'dgCustomers'.

BindData method is used for binding dgCustomer datagrid.
dgCustomer_ItemDataBound event is used to bind orders datagrid.
