VB.Net GridView Object Values

Close Window

When a Gridview uses an object data source, that object may contain other objects.

How do I display a single value from the embedded object in my Gridview?

For example, I have a list of order line objects that I want to display in a GridView. The order line object contains another object which is product. But in my GridView, I only want to list the product name. 


    <asp:GridView ID=gridView1 runat=server ....  
       <Columns> 
           <asp:TemplateField HeaderText=" Product"> 
                <EditItemTemplate> 
                
                   <asp:TextBox ID=Product runat=server 
                            Text= <%# Eval(" Product.ProductName ") %>
                   </asp:TextBox>
                
                </EditItemTemplate>
           </asp:TemplateField>
       </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
