I found this SWEET piece of code that promise to simplify my Nested GridView I have a project that's making use of this strategy quite a bit (Nested GridView). It places the nested grid in a UserControl. My question is how to bind the GridView in the UserControl to the IList(Of T) DataSource. I'm thinking that I should Raise the event from within the DataBound event but i'm not sure. Your help would be much appreciated.

<asp:GridView ID="gvJobs" runat="server" DataKeyNames="Id,JobNumber,StartDate" OnRowDataBound="gvJobs_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Job ID" InsertVisible="false">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblJobID" Text='<%# Eval("Id") %>' runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<div id="div<%# Eval("id") %>">
<uc1:EZPassesControl runat="server" ID="EZPassesControl1" Data='<%# Container.DataItem %>' />
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Protected Sub gvJobs_RowDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
This Is how it gets done when the GridView Is nested directly in the Gridview
Dim row As GridViewRow = e.Row
Dim gv As GridView = New GridView()
gv = CType(row.FindControl("GridView2"), GridView)
gv.DataSource = ChildDataSource((CType(e.Row.DataItem, DataRowView))("startDate").ToString(), sortStr)
gv.DataBind()

This Is a sketchy code I tried in but it did'nt work.
Dim gv As GridView = New GridView()
gv = CType(row.FindControl("EZPassesControl1").FindControl("gvEZPasses"), GridView)
gv.DataSource = ChildDataSource((CType(e.Row.DataItem, DataRowView))("startDate").ToString(), strSort)
gv.DataBind()
End Sub

Hi Ruffone,

Do you want to operate the GridView nested in userControl inside parent GridView control, for example to set its data source. If so, you can refer to the following example:
