Display Datatable column in NestedViewTemplate

[derek]

I'm using the Telerik:RadGrid to display a list of courses. The course information is all in a DataTable bound to the grid.

Most of the data is small and works well as a list, except for the course description which is a large paragraph.  I would like the description to be display for each row in the nestedviewtemplate so that it shows up as a full row when the master row is clicked.

I've seen the hierachy template example for the grid control, but that is based on multiple DataTables. All of the information I have is in a single table.

Is there a simple way with the grid to access the DataField for the description from inside the NestedViewTemplate?

DataTable CourseTable = new DataTable("CourseTable");
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Course", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Section", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Title", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Session", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Professor(s)", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Units", Type.GetType("System.Int32")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Schedule", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Cohort", Type.GetType("System.String")));
            CourseTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Description", Type.GetType("System.String")));

<telerik:RadGrid ID="GridCore" runat="server" Skin="WebBlue" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
            <MasterTableView>
                <NestedViewTemplate>
                    <!-- Need to Add the Description column in here" -->
                </NestedViewTemplate>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Course" DataField = "Course"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Section" DataField = "Section"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Title" DataField = "Title"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Professor(s)" DataField = "Professor(s)"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Units" DataField = "Units"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Schedule" DataField = "Schedule"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Cohort" DataField = "Cohort"/>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

I was actually able to solve my own issue, here is is in case anyone is interested. This allows you to display an additional column from a DataTable. I just had to make sure that both grids had the unique identifier from the DataTable, then I hid them as they're not ment for display.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="GridCore" runat="server" Skin="WebBlue" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
            <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="CRN">
                <DetailTables>
                    <telerik:GridTableView DataKeyNames="CRN" ShowHeader="false">
                        <ParentTableRelation>
                            <telerik:GridRelationFields DetailKeyField="CRN" MasterKeyField="CRN" />
                        </ParentTableRelation>
                        <Columns>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "CRN" DataField = "CRN" Visible="false"/>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Description" DataField = "Description"/>
                        </Columns>
                    </telerik:GridTableView>
                </DetailTables>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "CRN" DataField = "CRN" Visible="false"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Course" DataField = "Course"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Section" DataField = "Section"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Title" DataField = "Title"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Professor(s)" DataField = "Professor(s)"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Units" DataField = "Units"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Schedule" DataField = "Schedule"/>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText = "Cohort" DataField = "Cohort"/>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>
