Hello Kapil Koli,

No, you cannot use link buttons. Actually the Edit and Cancel buttons are links but are styled to look like buttons for consistency. The Update and Delete are buttons because they should post the edit form.

I do not understand your question "How can I insert a new table on "INSERT" button click". Could you elaborate?

As for required JavaScript - everything shown in the online demos is built-in and the user needs to write only the server side code for deleting and saving records.

Atana, you mention an interesting approach. I like the idea of having the grid rebind with an appended datasource. The true question is how is this implemented?

I am using an Ajax databinding: .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("Default", new { action = "TagsData" ))

But I cannot figure out how to append a parameter to the request url for the data in order to tell the Action to append a new and blank entry to the datasource that it returns, in the likely event of adding a new row of data.

Now I'm wondering, when you say "To add a row to the grid simply add a new item to the underlying data source.", do you mean:
1. Add a new item to the clientside datasource. For instance, the $("#Grid2").data('tGrid').DataItem.
2. Or, add a new item to the list of DataModels in the action when a request is made for the data.

If you meant option #1, what all is involved? Is there event listeners that will automatically add a new row if a new item is added to DataItem? Or will a Bind or Rebind function need to be called?

If you meant option #2, how would you recommend telling the Action to add the new item? Should we use the rebind function or some other or possibly overloaded function?
