Yeah your approach is the correct here and try binding datasource based on the slection.You can use RowDetailsVisibilityChanged event to assign datasource to rowdetail templete.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. But i need drill down in datagrid itself. that is if i click user id it will display the user information in another row of same grid which is inside the grid, like what we have in telerik radgrid allow grouping="true" will enable the radgrid to have a drill down effect. Some thing like that. Is that possible in silverlight 4 datagrid. i tried like this... ItemsSource="{Binding}" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" IsReadOnly="True" MinHeight="250" Margin="5,3,5,0" > And in the .cs file i bind the grid with the result list using datacontext. please help Thanks, Vijay

I guess here drill down means to open another page/popup based on the the selection .If so then the SelectedItem of the Datagrid returns you a Object of used for binding to the Grid.You can Typecast the same and can send as a constructor to other popup page. Hope this is what you are looking for.
