You can achieve this by using nested grid views. The parent grid views will display all the master records. The nested grid view will display all the child records. The parent row should have datakeys associated with it so as to uniquely identify its child records.

I believe you need to study SQL Joins. Here is a previous article regarding SQL Joins. Study it.

Solution 2

first you need to join two tables based on the primary key and foreign key, use the same query to query from the database.
save the sample queried from database in datatable
and finally you need to to bind the datatable to the gridview

but if I do this the save option is gone. that is the main issue. can I join the tables such that I can save the grid view in corresponding data table.

J are you trying to display the information from 2 related tables in your gridview and then from the gridview you let the user modify the data "from the gridview" and then when the user click the save button the updates will automatically save to its corresponding tables?
