  Great video Kevin!!! Actually you will need OnCommand when you turn on sorting, paging, filtering, etc. :). Indeed for simple data read scenarios the empty event handler is obsolete and we will remove this.

  Great tutorial, Kevin! I enjoyed the format. Can you tag this post with something like "RadTips" so I can easily link to all of your episodes?

  Thanks, Kevin. Short and very informative. Please keep the episodes coming. I was having trouble hearing your voice sometimes. Not sure if it was my system or you could enhance the audio for next time ...

  @Vlad: Yes I will show how to use an OnCommand event handler to add paging, sorting, and filtering in my next RadTips episode. @Todd: Thanks Todd. I've added the tag "RadTips" (among others) to the post. @Hardy: I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the feedback, it is always welcome. As this is my first screencast (ever), there will obviously be some growing pains. I enjoy hearing the feedback though and will continually work to improve the quality in future episodes.

  Question: Is it possible to do a completely client-side solution? I'd like to create and access the datasource on the client side, then, eventually, pass that datasource to the server side.
• Kevin Babcock 30 Sep
  @Ashley: It is not possible with ASP.NET to have your solution reside completely on the client because, due to security concerns, JavaScript does not have access to the local file system. Therefore, you have no local storage to store your data. The RadGrid does however provide a great solution for moving as much of the app to the client as possible. By using web services to communicate and pass data you are eliminating the need for your server to process post backs and vastly reducing the amount of traffic passed between the server and client (less viewstate, markup, etc). If you are looking for a completely client-side solution, you might want to start looking at Silverlight. It offers the ability to run more powerful applications completely on the client (in the browser) and future versions will include a version of SQL Server, which means you can use local storage to store your data, allowing users to work offline and then sync up with the server when they go back online. If you have any more questions, feel free to post them here or shoot me an email.

  Hi,
  Great Stuff. I am too involve in the scenario for doing everything on client. I did by by bind grid first time on server side and copy data source as JSON object and then use it on client side. any editing will only update that JSON data source and once user done, it post back by one button click to save changes. I also manage to do custom editing instead of rad grid editing features.
  Your example cover a scenario of data binding only for masterTable. How we achieve same for detail table and deleting and editing by this approach?
  
  Thanks
