Client binding without webservice

[Izik]

Hi,

I would like to do a client-side binding on radgrid without calling a webservice. all of the examples that I've seen use a webservice...

I want the user to add/remove/edit rows to the RadGrid using an external form (all in javascript) and only when he's done the data will be sent to the server.
My questions are:
1. what is the format of the datasource that I should pass to "set_dataSource"? if I want to bind the data or add a new row. 
   can I do something like: 
   var arr = new Array();
    arr.push( {field1: value1, field2: value2 .... } )
    myGrid.set_dataSource(arr);
    myGrid.data_bind();

2. how do I extract the grid's data and send it back to the server?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Izik,

When binding RadGrid on the client, the data must have a valid JSON syntax, in order to be properly parsed. The data itself may be coming from a WebService/PageMethod, or declared statically. More information you could find in the following online documentation article:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-client-side-binding-specifics.html

Additionally you could transfer data from client to the server via ajaxRequest client side method of the RadAjaxManager or RadAjaxPanel.

I hope this helps.
