<asp:GridView ID="gvwSelf" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="CategoryID">
   
        <Columns>
        
            <asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryName" HeaderText="Name" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" />
            <asp:TemplateField>
                <ItemTemplate >
                
                    <asp:GridView ID="gvwNested" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
                        <Columns>
                            <asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryID" HeaderText="ID" />
                            <asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryName" HeaderText="Name" />
                            <asp:BoundField DataField="Discription" HeaderText="Description" />
                        </Columns>
                    </asp:GridView>

            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>

IN .CS Page:

private void BindGridView()
           
        {
            string str = "";
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(str);
            string cmd = "Select * from categories";
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd,str);
            da.Fill(ds);
            DataTable tblData = ds.Tables[0];
            tblData.DefaultView.RowFilter = "CategoryName = 'Beverages'";
            gvwSelf.DataSource = tblData;
            gvwSelf.DataBind();

            GridView gvwnested = new GridView();
            gvwnested = (GridView)gvwSelf.FindControl("gvwNested");    // I get gvwNested as NULL             DataTable tblNested = ds.Tables[0];
            tblNested.DefaultView.RowFilter = "CategoryName = 'Condiments'";
            gvwnested.DataSource = tblNested; // Object Reference Error             gvwnested.DataBind();


        }

It'll be easy to bind each and every row of Nested gridview. protected void gvwSelf_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { GridView gvwnested = (GridView)e.Row.FindControl("gvwNested"); DataTable tblNested = ds.Tables[0]; tblNested.DefaultView.RowFilter = "CategoryName = 'Condiments'"; gvwnested.DataSource = tblNested; gvwnested .DataBind(); } } Thanks, Nilkanth Laghaterohan, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi Laghaterohan,

protected void gvwSelf_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

    {

        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

        {

            GridView gvwnested = (GridView)e.Row.FindControl("gvwNested");

            DataTable tblNested = ds.Tables[0];

           tblNested.DefaultView.RowFilter = "CategoryName = 'Condiments'";

           gvwnested.DataSource = tblNested;

            gvwnested .DataBind();



        }

}

Thanks,
