Add RadGrid to RadPanelItem Dynamically via c#

[Robert]

I am creating a RadGrid dynamically based on data that comes through.  The number of grids can vary.  What I want to do is allow for the collapsing of these grids.  For example, if 10 grids are created, the length is unwieldy and I would like to collapse all but the first, and have the user be able to expand them on click.  I have looked around and do not see a solution within the grid itself.  I would like to keep the header row as the column names, and use something above it sort of detailing the grid like "Number of Customers: #".

My theoretical solution was to use a RadPanelBar, inserting the grid into a RadPanelItem, and then into the PanelBar.  Looking at the demo of the calendar shows:

<telerik:RadPanelBar  runat="server" ID="RadPanelBar1" Height="380px" ExpandMode="FullExpandedItem">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Calendar" ImageUrl="Img/calendar.gif">
                    <Items>
                        <telerik:RadPanelItem>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <telerik:RadCalendar runat="server" ID="Calendar1" Style="margin: 6px auto 0" />
                            </ItemTemplate>
                        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
                    </Items>
                </telerik:RadPanelItem>
             </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

However, I am required to create this from the codebehind.  I've gone through quite a few iterations and can't seem to find the syntax.  I am guessing it has to do with ItemTemplate.InstantiateIn(grid), but do I have to extend the ITemplate or something?
