This example shows the advanced hierarchy model of Telerik RadGrid dealing with Insert/Update/Delete automatic operations. A three level hierarchy is demonstrated with Customer Master Table and two nested Detail Tables Orders and OrderDetails.

Note that hierarchical structure is not supported with simple data-binding (calling DataBind()). See the Simple data binding demo from the Populating with data section for more info about the limitations of this binding mode.
