This example shows how Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC can infer its columns based on the properties of the data item it is bound to. A columns is created for every public property of simple type (integer, string, date, enum and boolean).

Column titles are inferred from the property name using pascal-case splitting - for example if the property name is CustomerID the inferred column title will be "Customer ID".

The following is an example of simple definition of the Grid:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Sortable()
        .Scrollable()
        .Pageable()
 %>

The AutoGenerate method can be used to further customize the generated columns' settings:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
                {   
                    columns.AutoGenerate(column =>
                        {                            
                            column.Width = "150px";
                            if (column.Member == "CustomerID")
                                column.Visible = false;
                        });                        
                })
 %>
