hierarchical datagrid without coding

This example shows how to make a hierarchical GridForm. Just specify the relations of the GridForms in DataForm.NET Designer. The single child GridForm can be displayed nested and multiple GridForms can be linked together. In this sample, the top level of GridForm (Employees) has two children GridForms (Assistants and Orders) which are displayed underneath the top GridForm. And Orders GridForm has only one child GridForm(Order Details) which is displayed nested. By repeating the above steps, a very large/deep hierarchical GridForm can be easily created just in minutes.
