igHierarchicalGrid bound to dataset with MVC - KeyNotFoundException. How to hide columns in child rows?
posted

I am struggling to hide some columns in the child rows of a hierarchical grid bound to a dataset with two tables, with a parent:child relationship.

I am looking at the hierarchical grid data set binding sample that came with NetAdvantage and I am trying to hide the CategoryID column in the child rows since it is merely repeating the same value in the parent row.

Here is the grid definition from the MVC View (dataset-binding.cshtml), with my additions in bold.:

    @(Html.Infragistics().Grid<Category>()
        .ID("grid1")
        .Height("500px")
        .AutoGenerateColumns(true)
        .AutoGenerateLayouts(true)
        .RenderCheckboxes(true)
        .EnableUTCDates(true)
        .Features(features =>
        {
            features.Sorting().Type(OpType.Local).Mode(SortingMode.Single).Inherit(true);
            features.Paging().PageSize(5).Type(OpType.Remote).Inherit(false);         
            features.Filtering().Type(OpType.Local).Inherit(true);
            features.Selection().Mode(SelectionMode.Row).MultipleSelection(true);
            features.RowSelectors().Inherit(true);
            features.GroupBy().Type(OpType.Local).Inherit(true);
            features.Hiding().Inherit(true);
            features.Resizing().Inherit(true);
            features.Tooltips().Visibility(TooltipsVisibility.Always).Inherit(true);
            features.ColumnMoving().Inherit(true).Mode(MovingMode.Immediate).MoveType(MovingType.Dom);
            features.CellMerging().InitialState(CellMergingInitialState.Merged);
        })
 .ColumnLayouts(layouts => { layouts.For(x => x.Products) .PrimaryKey("CategoryID") .ForeignKey("ProductID").Columns(column => { column.For(x => x.CategoryID).DataType("numeric").Hidden(true); column.For(x => x.ID).DataType("numeric"); column.For(x => x.ProductName).DataType("string"); column.For(x => x.UnitPrice).DataType("numeric"); column.For(x => x.UnitsInStock).DataType("numeric"); column.For(x => x.Discontinued).DataType("bool"); }) ; })         .DataSource(Model)
        .DataSourceUrl(Url.Action("dataset-binding"))    
        .DataBind()
        .Render()
    )

When I run the sample up I get a KeyNotFoundException with the message "The given key was not present in the dictionary".

Stack trace:

I have tried all sorts of variations but my gut feeling is that it boils down to this bit: layouts.For(x => x.Products)

I don't know what the right name is for the child collection. There is not much else I can choose for the value, but all the column names are correct so I suspect that this needs to be something else.
