I know this is a popular subject around here. I'm hoping that there were some changes in Q3 that provides some solutions.
The Grid is really strong with EF, L2S, etc - those that support IQueryable and thus so that Linq can be used. Is there any other solution at this time to use something else - custom library, PetaPoco, Massive, etc. that can be integrated with all the features of the Grid?
The biggest issue is getting the JSON back to the grid in a format that it understands. For example, theoretically, I could page, sort and filter the grid when it hits the controller. However, we then have to get it grouped/aggregated and sent back and that's where we run into a problem - is there a helper in Telerik code that can be used for this?

This post led me to the demo with the binding helper (not sure how I didn't see it). I think this may be what I need - although a more generic way to determine the property is needed - switch statement for every property is a little crazy - maybe dynamics. I'll update this if I get it solved.
