How to display child rows INLINE along with Parent records using datagrid

Question

The old DataGrid has a great feature compared to new DatagridView that it can display maste/detail relational data. We only have to load master table and detail table into a DataSet and set the relationship between them then set DataGrid's DataSource property to the DataSet and DataMember property to the master table name. The DataGrid displays master table contents with a + sign and once you click the + sign the relation name appears as a link if you click that the child content will appear. As you notice there is round trip to display the child records and master records. I want the datagrid to display master table records along with child table records INLINE that is: parent row then beneath that child rows then the next parent so on.. Can anybody help me please? I am working on Windows.Forms.DataGrid

I'm having the same problem. It seems like such an obvious inclusion. Usually I could get away with selecting the master to display its children but this time they need to be displayed inline. If anyone has advice it would be much appreciated.
