Binding RadGrid to SPDataSource

[baha2r]

Hi,
I am fairly new to Telerik controls ,I'm basically  trying to programmatically bind a RadGrid to  SharePoint SPDataSource control in a WebPart but after doing so the grid shows SPDataSource's properties such as "UseInternalName" instead of it contents, I don't have the code at the time but it looks something like this:

SPDataSource spdc =new SPDataSource();
spdc.DataSourceMode = SPDataSourceMode.List;
SPList list1=...
spdc.list=list1;
radGrid grid1=new radGrid();
grid1.DataSource =spdc;
// for columns I tried both generate automatically
//option and adding a field for "Title" for example
grid1.databind();



So my main question is :
Does RadGrid support SPDataSource? and if yes what am I doing wrong? If not ,are there any alternate ways of doing this?what are my options?

Thanks in Advance

Hi baha2r,

I think that the second post by my colleague Stephen in this thread will help you bind our web grid to Sharepoint list. It is recommended to use advanced binding with NeedDataSource event handling.
