    Codeless client-side data-binding for your ASP.NET AJAX DataGrid?

    With RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 Beta we have provided great client-side data-binding improvement for the grid and now you can bind your data to any web service or page method completely codeless: ...   <ClientSettings>       <DataBinding Location="MyWebService.asmx" SelectMethod="GetDataAndCount" />  ...     Using this new approach you can get both data and total items count in a single request and if you turn on client-side caching the grid will perform request to the server only when needed!
