Telerik RadGrid supports custom edit forms for management of item content. You can switch
the type of the edit forms using the
GridEditFormType Enumeration.
In the example above the edit form is a
WebUserControl specified by the
UserControlName property. The same user control will be used for the insert form as
well. The user control implements a public
DataItem property
through which Telerik RadGrid sets the correct values for the editor controls
(when loading the user control). This allows the developer to write
binding expressions to bind the server controls in the user control to the corresponding
DataItem.
Note that WebUserControl custom edit form is not supported with simple data-binding
(calling DataBind()). See the
Simple data binding demo from the
Populating with
data section for more info about the limitations of this binding mode.
