   How can I index into a field on a linked entity in the custom layout? For example in the below code, how to I get the aa_childentityfield onto the List? I've tried using the alias, the logical name and parent.child (both alias and logical). 
   
   Fetch xml:
   <fetch version="1.0" mapping="logical" output-format="xml-platform">
     <entity name="aa_parententity">
       <attribute name="aa_parententityid" />
       <filter type="and">
         <condition attribute="aa_relationshipidfield" operator="eq" value="@CID@" />
       </filter>
       <link-entity name="aa_childentity" alias="aa_childentity" to="aa_parententity" from="aa_parententityid">
         <attribute name="aa_childid" />
         <attribute name="aa_childfield" alias="aa_childfield" />
       </link-entity>
     </entity>
   </fetch>
   
   ASP Label
   <td>
   <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("[what goes here??]") %>'></asp:Label>
    </td>

   Hello Andrew,
   
   All Telerik documentation for the list view can be found here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/listview/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx

   In order to retrieve the values of linked entity fields in a CRM List View template you must evaluate the fields differently.
   
   To evaluate a field on the primary entity (non-linked): 

    <%#Eval("field_name") %>
   

    To evaluate a field on a linked entity: 

    <%#DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(Container.DataItem, "alias.field_name") %>
