When setting up a RadGrid in XML, you can set a variety of properties such as DataSourceID, AllowPaging, ImagesPath, AllowAutomaticInserts, etc.
I know that these are scattered throughout the tutorials on your website but is there anywhere or is there any document that has a list of all of these properties in the same place with associated descriptions of what they are used for? I am looking for something like your old CMS documentation only for your new stuff. Does that exist?

The Server-side Overview help articles for our controls are only an overview of the control's API, usually containing the most commonly used public members of each control. Detailed Server-side API reference for all objects in the Telerik.Web.UI suite in the API Reference section of our documentation. For example, the public members for Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid are listed and explained here:
Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid

Hi
What happened to the detailed documentation where one could drill right down to how to use the features, with usable examples? It seems more like dictionary definitions of features now, but the real help layer seems to have vanished.
thanks

Hi Clive,
We have not deleted documentation in many years. The last time we did this, we removed the obsolete RadControls for ASP.NET "Classic" documentation because that product line was discontinued. Its contents were migrated and improved in the current UI for ASP.NET AJAX suite and they all exist in the current documentation. Here are a few examples:
- working with the popup edit form: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/data-editing/edit-mode/popup-edit-form.
- accessing data and controls: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows.
- how to export from an AJAX-enabled grid: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/how-to/Exporting/export-from-ajaxified-grid.
That's just a few random examples from the documentation and we also offer a ton of other resources:
- demos where you can see everything in action, together with the code that produces it: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx.
- the code library where ready solutions are shared by the community: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid.
- the forums themselves, with tens of thousands of threads with real life issues people have had and their solutions: http://www.telerik.com/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid.
The only resource we have discontinued in the last few years is the so-called Courseware that was a 1000+ page book with some examples, basic feature explanations and getting started tutorials mostly that you can find in the documentation.
Could you let me know what resources you used and are not available now? If you have some links (even if they return 404 or redirect now), I will look into them.
Regards,
Telerik
