  I currently have a partial view that renders the Telerik MVC Grid. The model passed to the partial view contains a bool field that states whether or not the grid should contain a detail view.
  
  The following code doesn't render the table but leaves the expand controls in place. Ideally I would like to hide the expand controls and the rendering of the template on the server side.
  
  

  .DetailView(detailView => detailView.Template(

              @<text>

                  @{ if (!Model.IsLowestLevel) {

                      @*render grid*@

                     }

                  }

              </text>))

  I should of figured this out yesterday but the solution is to simply store my grid object in a variable and then check the bool in my model. Then I can modify my variable by adding the detail view on.
  

  @{

      var mainGrid = Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.Rows)

      .Name("Grid_" + Model.Id);

   

      if (!Model.IsEditable) {

          mainGrid = mainGrid.DetailView(detailView => detailView.Template(

              @<text>

                  @* Render Grid here *@

              </text>

          ));

      }

       

      mainGrid.Render();  

      }

  Sam, thanks for sharing your solution.  This was exactly what I needed to do as well.
