Object Model Overview: DataGridDetailDescription Class
DataGrid Fundamentals: Detail Configurations

When a grid is in a table-view layout, its data items can display detail data that is usually provided by the detail descriptions defined in the DataGridCollectionView or DataGridCollectionViewSource to which the grid is bound (see Example 1). By default, detail descriptions are automatically created for most detail relation types; however, they can also be explicitly defined by adding them to DetailDescriptions collection of their parent DataGridCollectionView,  DataGridCollectionViewSource, or detail description (see Examples 2 and 3).

Every detail description must have a unique, identifying relation name that can be provided through its RelationName property and that will be used by detail configurations to identify which description their configuration will be applied to. If the detail descriptions are automatically created, their relation name will be extracted from the underlying detail source or a default one will be provided. If they are explicitly provided, then their relation name must also be explicitly set.

Automatic creation of detail descriptions can be disabled by setting the AutoCreateDetailDescriptions property of the DataGridCollectionViewSource to false (by default, true) or by specifying so when creating an instance of the DataGridCollectionView.

Each data item in the grid and any resulting details can have one or more sibling details as well as one or more grandchild details.  

Grouping, Sorting, and Filtering

Data items contained in a detail can be grouped using either the default PropertyGroupDescription or the DataGridGroupDescription (recommended) and adding them to the GroupDescriptions property of the corresponding detail description. Data items can also be sorted by adding the standard SortDescription structures to the SortDescriptions property.

The data items that are to be displayed in a detail can be filtered through automatic filtering, which provides Excel-like end-user filtering according to the distinct values of each column (see Filtering Data).

Detail Configurations

The appearance of each detail in a grid or detail is defined by detail configurations that can be automatically created and/or explicitly provided through a grid or detail's DetailConfigurations property. Each detail configuration is identified by its RelationName property, which must correspond to the name of one of the detail descriptions defined in the parent DataGridCollectionView, DataGridCollectionViewSource, or DataGridDetailDescription (see Example 2).

By default, if an explicit detail configuration is not provided, the built-in configuration will be applied to all details; however, a custom default detail configuration that provides a generic subset of properties whose values can be applied to any details in a grid and any descendant details can be provided through a grid or detail's DefaultDetailConfiguration property (see Example 5).

To automatically create detail configurations, a grid or detail's AutoCreateDetailConfigurations property must be set to true (by default, false at the grid level and true for detail configurations).

Examples 

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.

Example 1: Binding to a master/detail data table

The following example demonstrates how to bind a grid to a DataTable that contains DataRelations that will be displayed as child and grandchild detail data.

The code below demonstrates how to create a connection to the Access version of the Northwind database and create a property named "Employees" that retrieves its values from the Employees data table and to which a child and grandchild detail are added.

VB.NET
Copy Code 
Shared Sub New()
  Dim dataSet As New DataSet()
  Dim mdbfile As String = "Data\Northwind.mdb"
  Dim connString As String = String.Format("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source={0}", mdbfile)
  Dim conn As New OleDbConnection(connString)
  Dim adapter As New OleDbDataAdapter()
  m_adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter()
  m_adapter.SelectCommand = New OleDbCommand( "SELECT * FROM Employees;", conn )
  m_adapter.Fill( dataSet, "Employees" )
  m_employees = dataSet.Tables( "Employees" )
  m_adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter()
  m_adapter.SelectCommand = New OleDbCommand( "SELECT * FROM Orders;", conn )
  m_adapter.Fill( dataSet, "Orders" )
  m_orders = dataSet.Tables( "Orders" )
 
  m_adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter()
  m_adapter.SelectCommand = New OleDbCommand( "SELECT * FROM [Order Details];", conn )
  m_adapter.Fill( dataSet, "Order Details" )
  m_orderDetails = dataSet.Tables( "Order Details" )
  m_employees.ChildRelations.Add( New DataRelation( "Employee_Orders", m_employees.Columns( "EmployeeID" ), m_orders.Columns( "EmployeeID" ) ) )
  m_orders.ChildRelations.Add( New DataRelation( "Order_OrderDetails", m_orders.Columns( "OrderID" ), m_orderDetails.Columns( "OrderID" ) ) )
End Sub
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Employees As DataTable
  Get
    Return m_employees
   End Get
End Property
Private Shared m_employees As DataTable
Private Shared m_orders As DataTable
Private Shared m_orderDetails As DataTable
Private Shared m_adapter As OleDbDataAdapter = Nothing
C#
Copy Code 
static App()
{
 DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
 string mdbFile = @"Data\Northwind.mdb";
 string connString = String.Format( "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source={0}", mdbFile );
 OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection( connString );
 m_adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
 m_adapter.SelectCommand = new OleDbCommand( "SELECT * FROM Employees;", conn );
 m_adapter.Fill( dataSet, "Employees" );
 m_employees = dataSet.Tables[ "Employees" ];    
  m_adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
  m_adapter.SelectCommand = new OleDbCommand( "SELECT * FROM Orders;", conn );
  m_adapter.Fill( dataSet, "Orders" );
  m_orders = dataSet.Tables[ "Orders" ];
 
  m_adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter();
  m_adapter.SelectCommand = new OleDbCommand( "SELECT * FROM [Order Details];", conn );
  m_adapter.Fill( dataSet, "Order Details" );
  m_orderDetails = dataSet.Tables[ "Order Details" ];
 m_employees.ChildRelations.Add( new DataRelation( "Employee_Orders", m_employees.Columns[ "EmployeeID" ], m_orders.Columns[ "EmployeeID" ] ) );
 m_orders.ChildRelations.Add( new DataRelation( "Order_OrderDetails", m_orders.Columns[ "OrderID" ], m_orderDetails.Columns[ "OrderID" ] ) );  
}
public static DataTable Employees
{
 get
 {
   return m_employees;
  }
}
private static DataTable m_employees;
private static DataTable m_orders;
private static DataTable m_orderDetails;
private static OleDbDataAdapter m_adapter = null;

The following code demonstrates how to bind the grid to the Employees property and provide a detail configuration for both detail relations to change their title and the item-container style of the first child detail.

Example 2: Defining detail descriptions

The following example demonstrates how to explicitly define detail descriptions for the DataRelations found in the DataTable to which the grid is bound and how to calculate statistical functions for a detail description whose results will be displayed in the StatRows contained in the footer sections of the details to which the description's corresponding detail configuration will be applied.

                                    Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                              Path=Employees}"/>           
   
    <xcdg:IndexToOddConverter x:Key="rowIndexConverter" />
   
    <Style x:Key="alternatingDataRowStyle" TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataRow}">
      <Style.Triggers>
         <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self},
                                 Path=(xcdg:DataGridVirtualizingPanel.ItemIndex),
