SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(str);
SqlDataAdapter dadCats = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT catid, catname,productid FROM tbl_productcatagory where productid=1", con);
SqlDataAdapter dadProducts = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT subcatid, catid, subcatagoryname FROM tbl_productsubcatagory ", con);
DataSet dst = new DataSet();
dadCats.Fill(dst, "tbl_productcatagory");
dadProducts.Fill(dst, "tbl_productsubcatagory");
dst.Relations.Add("Children",
dst.Tables["tbl_productcatagory"].Columns["catid"],
dst.Tables["tbl_productsubcatagory"].Columns["catid"]);
return dst;
}

public void PopulateMenu()
{
DataSet dst = GetMenuData();
foreach (DataRow masterRow in dst.Tables["tbl_productcatagory"].Rows)
{
MenuItem masterItem = new MenuItem((string)masterRow["catname"]);
Menu1.Items.Add(masterItem);
foreach (DataRow childRow in masterRow.GetChildRows("Children"))
{
MenuItem childItem = new MenuItem((string)childRow["subcatagoryname"], "", "", ("~/default.aspx?catid=" + (masterRow["catid"].ToString()) + "&subcatid=" + (childRow["subcatid"].ToString())), "_parent");
masterItem.ChildItems.Add(childItem);
}
}

}
}

Verify the data in both the tables. Check all the rows in Sub Category table has CatId. If there any one row missing CatId then this error occurs.

Verify the data in both the tables. Check all the rows in Sub Category table has CatId. If there any one row missing CatId then this error occurs.
The solutions is to set constraint in DataRelation class to false

C#

dst.Relations.Add("Children",
dst.Tables["tbl_productcatagory"].Columns["catid"],
dst.Tables["tbl_productsubcatagory"].Columns["catid"], false);

By default, when you create a relationship, it enforces foreign key constraints, by setting to false, you are telling it that you dont want to enforce the relationship.

I am getting the error from this code

DataSet GetMenuData()
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(str);
SqlDataAdapter dadCats = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT catid, catname,productid FROM tbl_productcatagory where productid=1", con);
SqlDataAdapter dadProducts = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT subcatid, catid, subcatagoryname FROM tbl_productsubcatagory ", con);
DataSet dst = new DataSet();
dadCats.Fill(dst, "tbl_productcatagory");
dadProducts.Fill(dst, "tbl_productsubcatagory");
dst.Relations.Add("Children",
dst.Tables["tbl_productcatagory"].Columns["catid"],
dst.Tables["tbl_productsubcatagory"].Columns["catid"]);
return dst;
}

in this without productid=1 it is not showing any error when i use product id i am getting error from this code. but i need to provide product id otherwise it displays all product catagories

dst.Relations.Add("Children",
dst.Tables["tbl_productcatagory"].Columns["catid"],
dst.Tables["tbl_productsubcatagory"].Columns["catid"]);

Hi Vani Kulkarni,

I tried this code
dst.Relations.Add("Children",
dst.Tables["tbl_productcatagory"].Columns["catid"],
dst.Tables["tbl_productsubcatagory"].Columns["catid"], false);

But i am not getting the child values...
