Hi,

I have 2 Custom c# Classes called BLPerson and BLProjectAccess. BLPerson contains many properties including  int PersonId which uniquely identifies a BLPerson object and also a property called ProjectAccesss which returns a Collection<BLProjectAccess>

BLProjectAccess contains many properties also including int PersonId (the link between BLPerson and BLProjectAccess) . Importantly BLPerson.PersonId is a public property BLProjectAccess.PersonId is an internal property.

 I want to set up a WebHierarchicalDataGrid with parent of BLPerson and child of BLProjectAccess, the idea being that the User can “open up” a person and see the project accesses he/she has. From watching the videos it appears that I need to set up 2 ObjectDataSources for the 2 classes and also a WebHierarchicalDataSource and then configure the WebHierarchicalDataSource so that the parent points to the BLPerson ObjectDataSource and the Child to the BLProjectAccess ObjectDataSource and then add a WebHierarchicalDataGrid and set its Datasource to the WebHierarchicalDataSource.

 The problem I have is when I try to set up the child I need to provide “Joining” fields between the 2 classes which is PersonId, I can select this for the parent but not the child because it does not display in the drop down list as it is not a public property.  Is there a way to get round this without changing the BLProjectAccess.PersonId property to public as I would prefer calling classes not to be able to access this directly.

 Thanks John
