Question

I\'m trying to establish a master-detail relation between two DataGridView. I have an EntityModel with two entities connected by \"ClientComissions\" Association. They were gene

Pull two ListViews on a Form and name them as lstcategory and lstProduct respectively. Then copy the code below [its very simple]. You may apply the same concept to your problem.

public partial class MasterDetail : Form
    {
        public MasterDetail()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private BindingManagerBase categoryBinding;
        private DataSet ds;

        private void MasterDetail_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ds = GetCategoriesAndProducts();

            // Bind the lists to different tables.
            lstCategory.DataSource = ds.Tables["Categories"];
            lstCategory.DisplayMember = "CategoryName";

            lstProduct.DataSource = ds.Tables["Products"];
            lstProduct.DisplayMember = "ProductName";

            // Track the binding context and handle position changing.
            categoryBinding = this.BindingContext[ds.Tables["Categories"]];
            categoryBinding.PositionChanged += new EventHandler(Binding_PositionChanged);

            // Update child table at startup.
            UpdateProducts();
        }

        private void Binding_PositionChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            UpdateProducts();
        }

        private void UpdateProducts()
        {
            string filter;
            DataRow selectedRow;

            // Find the current category row.
            selectedRow = ds.Tables["Categories"].Rows[categoryBinding.Position];

            // Create a filter expression using its CategoryID.
            filter = "CategoryID='" + selectedRow["CategoryID"].ToString() + "'";

            // Modify the view onto the product table.
            ds.Tables["Products"].DefaultView.RowFilter = filter;
        }

        public DataSet GetCategoriesAndProducts()
        {
            DataTable category = new DataTable("Categories");
            category.Columns.Add("CategoryID");
            category.Columns.Add("CategoryName");

            category.Rows.Add(new object[] { "1", "Food" });
            category.Rows.Add(new object[] { "2", "Beverage" });


            DataTable product = new DataTable("Products");
            product.Columns.Add("CategoryID");
            product.Columns.Add("ProductName");

            product.Rows.Add(new object[] { "1", "Rice" });
            product.Rows.Add(new object[] { "1", "Pasta" });

            product.Rows.Add(new object[] { "2", "Cola" });
            product.Rows.Add(new object[] { "2", "Coffee" });
            product.Rows.Add(new object[] { "2", "Tea" });


            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.Tables.Add(category);
            ds.Tables.Add(product);

            // Set up a relation between these tables (optional).
            DataRelation relCategoryProduct = new DataRelation("CategoryProduct",
              ds.Tables["Categories"].Columns["CategoryID"],
              ds.Tables["Products"].Columns["CategoryID"]);

            ds.Relations.Add(relCategoryProduct);

            return ds;
        }

    }
