Gets an object that uniquely identifies the row that contains the template container.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

public virtual object KeyValue { get; }

Property Value

Type Description
Object

An object that uniquely identifies the row that contains the template container.

Example

Sometimes it is necessary to show hierarchical data inside a detail ASPxGridView row. ASPxTreeList can show hierarchical data, but it does not have the built-in capability to get a corresponding master row key value.

To get a grid master row key value, it is necessary to move up through a hierarchy of controls to find the GridViewBaseRowTemplateContainer that has the KeyValue property. This is a universal solution and it can be applied to any ASP.NET control held in a grid template.

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {

    }

    protected object GetMasterRowKeyValue(ASPxTreeList treeList) {
        GridViewBaseRowTemplateContainer container = null;
        Control control = treeList;
        while(control.Parent != null) {
            container = control.Parent as GridViewBaseRowTemplateContainer;
            if(container != null) break;
            control = control.Parent;
        }
        return container.KeyValue;
    }

    protected void ASPxTreeList1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        ASPxTreeList treeList = sender as ASPxTreeList;
        object keyValue = GetMasterRowKeyValue(treeList);
        treeList.RootValue = keyValue;
    }
}
