With DevExpress, when I drop a gridview control into a page with no width setting the grid will size itself according to header/row contents.
With Telerik, the gridview with no width property configured will expand to 100% of the width of the container it's in. I do not want to configure the width. I looked through several forum posts here and was unable to find a solution. Although I did attempt to change several settings while searching for a solution, this happens with all properties set to their default values.

Indeed, RadGrid expands itself to 100% by default, because its wrapper element is a <div> and not a <table>. Here is how to make the control shrink, according to its content:

Dimo,
Thanks... That solution works great. The main reason I use these controls is due to my lack of experience with the web piece... allows rapid development for native programmers.
One question, when using the css fix if I enable the scrolling option the control again expands to 100% width, how would I make it auto fit based on the contents with scrolling enabled? I'm really looking for a way to make this the default behavior... I don't want it expanding to 100% unless I specifically set the width property to 100%.

The concept of scrolling in CSS is tightly connected to some fixed size. Scrolling with auto-fitting content does not make much sense. Scrolling occurs when a child element is larger than its scrollable container. If the latter has no explicit dimensions, how will the browser determine how large the scrollable container should be?
