You could change the Authors.ASCX file described above by dropping a DataGrid instead of a TextBox. In the code-behind you can then use the normal DataBinding syntax to bind a DataSet to the grid. This DataSet of child rows can be taken from the BindingContainer property:

[VB]
Dim dgi as DataGridItem = CType(Me.BindingContainer, DataGridItem)
Dim ds as DataSet = CType(dgi.DataItem, DataSet)
DG1.DataSource = ds
DG1.DataMember = "Authors"
DG1.DataBind()

3.9 Displaying one template for all child rows
The sample described above relies on displaying a template for each child row. E.g. when a book has two authors and has been sold three times the total number of templates loaded is five. Imagine you want to change this to display a nested DataGrid for all the authors and a DataGrid for all the sales under book.

This can be achieved by setting the TemplateDataMode to "Table" instead of "SingleRow" (its default value). Doing so loads only one template per child table.

I have set the TemplateDataMode to "Table" and created the Authors.ASCX manually since Visual webdeveloper can't open/create projects. where do I place that code he was saying? I already place a datagrid into the authors.ascx
