Persistence of RadGrid Based on Custom Class that Inherits from Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid

[david]

We have a custom class OurGrid that inherits from Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid. We do some initial setup of the RadGrid options when a grid is added to a page using our custom type so we do not have to re-run the initialization in various places. 

In attempting to persist this using the persistence manager it appears it's grabbing the type of the object and in this case is seeing our custom type rather than RadGrid.

The error message is:
The control of CustomTelerikObjects.OurGrid could not be persisted. Please review the online documetation for the supported controls.

Is there a way around this that anyone has used?

Hi David,

I am afraid that in this case you have to persist the state manually. Please check out the following help articles which describes how to save/load a custom settings.
SaveCustomSettings
LoadCustomSettings
