    RadGridView for WinForms conditional formatting – a matter of expressions

    Client-Side Hierarchical DataBinding to OData with RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX

That is all fine if your data is flat. Binding to hierarchical data, however, is another story. RadGrid officially supports hierarchical databinding on the server only.

It will contain a selectable list of functions, operators, constants and fields....
