Display RadGrid items in grouping as ListView layout

[Ali]

Hi,
I am trying to use RadGrid as ListView layout and was able to follow the demo below to achieve the results.

Grid / ListView/DataList View:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/listview/defaultcs.aspx 

Now, I need to be able to use "Grouping" [using ContactTitle:] so that all the items are shown under corresponding Grouping.
I know the layout may seem impossible for RadGrid, but I believe it's possible, though I haven't figured out how? Does anyone know how to do it as I need it badly [without using ListView, only RadGrid]. Please see my code below.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

As my colleague Tsvetina said to you in the other thread that you have opened, that required layout could not be achieved with RadGrid,

If you want to achieve the desired layout you will need to reiimplement half the logic of RadGrid and finally you will get the implementation of RadListView.
