This example demonstrates the operation modes of Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC Ajax binding.

By default Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC will request data from the server every time the user changes the page, filters the grid, sorts or groups (server operation mode). When, client operation mode is enabled the grid will make only one request to the server and retrieve all data. After that all operations (paging, sorting, filtering and grouping) will be performed client-side. This would improve performance and will eliminate the need to hit the server for data.

To enable client operation mode you should use the OperationMode method:

     Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Orders")
        .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding
             .Ajax()
                   .OperationMode(GridOperationMode.Client) // <-- set the operation mode
                   .Select("Select", "Home")
        )
        .Pageable()
        .Sortable()
