radGrid client side binding with RESTful service

[william]

Can radGrid client side binding get data from a RESTful service with GET method? or can client side binding work with ASP.NET Web API 2?

Thanks,

Hello William,

As long as the result returned from the service is JSON you can bind the grid to the service. Currently there are three ways for achieving this.

1. Using declarative binding as demonstrated here.
2. Using programmatic binding in which case you need to manually call the service using JavaScript and bind the result to the grid(demo is available here).
3. Binding the grid to a RadClientDataSource control as illustrated in this online demo.
