Hello,

I have a RadGrid with 4 template columns.
1. ASP:TextBox
2. RadEditor
3. ASP:LinkButton (ADD)
4. ASP:LinkButton. (DELETE)

When we click on "ADD" button we are adding a new row next to the selected row. Same way we are deleting the selected row on click of "DELETE" button. This we are doing in postback by rebinding the RadGrid. We need to avoid the postback and Add/Delete rows dynamically in javascript. Please provide the solution. Please find herewith the sample code that we are doing in code behind.

FYI: we are using net framework 4.0 and the Telerik.Web.UI.dll version is v. 2011.2.915.40

Hi Abhinav,

In order to have the grid perform fully client-side CRUD operations you will have to bind it either through a web service / page methods or directly on the client to a JSON serialized data. Both approaches are entirely client-side oriented and do not require any kind of postback or ajax request. You could check out this example where the insert/update/delete operations on client-side are demonstrated.

Kind regards,
