It is time to post new version of my 1 mil. records demo now with pure SQL Server paging, filtering & sorting. Basically this is very similar to how RadGrid will execute queries internally when you work with LinqDataSource, ObjectDataSource or ANY other DataSourceControl with built-in server paging. Furthermore, RadGrid is smart enough to not request all items in your collection by default if not needed even when you use direct binding via DataSource property. It is important to note that RadGrid will not oblige you to use any special DataSourceControl, class or interface! Conclusion: When you combine pure server-side data operations with pure JSON transfer between client and server, you can...

Let's create some enumeration types that will serve for...
