Retrieving RadGrid with AJAX from dialog

[Terance Emory]

Hi,

I am a bit stumped and hope someone can jump start me back into my solution.

I have a page with a radgrid.  I would like the radgrid to initially be empty, clicking a button in the menu displays a radWindow (modal) to prompt user for some input items.

Once I have these items I would like to retrieve data using the user input.  I don't know if it's better to do this with AJAX call or with a Postback?

Anyone have an example of a radgrid being retrieved from a query window?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Terance,

I think that you can use the following integration example as a starting point:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandwindow/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid

and extend it to insert grid items when the grid is empty through the popup window when a button on the main page is pressed (in the same way as it is done for the 'Add New Record' button in the RadGrid comment item).

Kind regards,
