Hi! Does DotVVM support GridView inside another GridView (nested)? I can’t find anything about this in the online text/video documentation. If it is supported, would you be kind to point me at some resources for best approaching parent-child grid views? ---

Hi! Sorry, I’m not sure what do you exactly mean by nested GridView. Is it displaying a GridView inside the cell of another GridView? I don’t think we want to explicit that, but I guess it might work. But that seems like a very strange usage, so I guess you want to accomplish somethink diferent? ---

Yeah, sorry for not making myself clear on the first go. What we need is to conditionally show a child gridView below any parent gridView row, based on data contained in that parent gridView row. A random image from www to show what I mean by that: ![](https://forum.dotvvm.com/uploads/default/original/1X/58d440e095b690c14d10d045c45b444a66a76363.png) Yes, the child will have the position & width shown in the example picture. PS: or even better for catching the idea: ![image](https://forum.dotvvm.com/uploads/default/original/1X/1a32f740e5933f9775950d5b51b1e165b2b6da3e.png) In WebForms we have this implemented by nesting the child inside a TemplateField control: ![image](https://forum.dotvvm.com/uploads/default/original/1X/edae5aceccb69069e387279bc05f095f49fcab03.png) And on the client side, by javascript, we move it from its cell inside the parent to its own `` below the selected parent row. ---

Ok thanks, this makes perfect sense. I’m quite sure it would work with the vanilla dot:GridView using the new AddTemplateDecorator ([DotVVM | Released DotVVM 4.3](https://www.dotvvm.com/blog/115/Released-DotVVM-4-3)) in RowDecorators, just as shown in the post. The BP:GridView is more finicky, but I’d at least expect it to work if the nested one is dot:GridView or plain table with Repeater ---

Thank you. I’ll return here if analysis materializes into migrating that page towards our DotVVM app. ---

I confirm that `bp:GridView` does not work with nested `bp:GridView` inside ``. It breaks at runtime in knockout.js ![image](https://forum.dotvvm.com/uploads/default/original/1X/46c51d0ac7ef796bc738cad42aa5d17684dcca7b.png)
