Razor Nested WebGrid


How do I have nested WebGrid with lot of formatting for each column. I can do a nested for-loop, but I need it basically for paging. Or is there any other better option?


Solution

  • Excuse the verbose data setup but this works...

    @{
        var data = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(i => new { Index = i, SubItems = new object[] { new { A = "A" + i, B = "B" + (i * i) } } }).ToArray();
        WebGrid topGrid = new WebGrid(data);
    }
    
    @topGrid.GetHtml(columns:
        topGrid.Columns(
            topGrid.Column("Index"),
            topGrid.Column("SubItems", format: (item) =>
            {
                WebGrid subGrid = subGrid = new WebGrid(item.SubItems);
                return subGrid.GetHtml(
                        columns: subGrid.Columns(
                            subGrid.Column("A"),
                            subGrid.Column("B")
                        )
                    );
            })
        )
    )
    

    Renders:
    No styling

    Of course you'll have to make sure in the GetHtml() method calls you give each grid (both top and sub) unique parameter names for paging/sorting or you'll end up with conflicts.
