Binding nested object's fields to BoundDataField
posted

Hello, I am having trouble accessing the nested object's properties in order to bind it to a BoundDataField. I have a User object that looks something like this:

public class User

{

    public int ID {get;set;}

    public AddressObj Address {get;set;}

}

with the AddressObj looking like this:

public class AddressObj

{

    public string Street {get;set;}

    public string City {get;set;}

    public string State {get;set;}

    public string Zip {get;set;}

}

 

After binding the User objects to the WebDataGrid, I tried to use a BoundDataField to display the City field, like so:

<ig:BoundDataField DataFieldName="Address.City" Key="City"></ig:BoundDataField>

However, this results in an error, stating that no Data Field Name can be found matching Address.City.

I know that I could use a TemplateDataField and use an Eval statement to get the data to display (and that is what I'm doing now), but I want the user to be able to filter this column, which cannot be done on a TemplateDataField using the Infragistics filtering behaviors.

I'd appreciate any help or advice for fixing this problem, thanks.
