Grid automatic Insert/Update/Delete with List<MyClass> datasource

[qunwei]

In the demo of RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, there is Insert/Update/Delete - automatic operations, so user can do insert/update/delete without writing any code behind. The data source used there is SessionDataSource. In the description, it says this can also be used for AccessDataSource, SqlDataSource or ObjectDataSource.
But I am going to use a generic list like List<MyClass> in memory as my data source. How can I still implement the automatic Insert/Update/Delete functions?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Q,

You can use ObjectDataSource to achieve this. The grid will support automatic operations only if you bind it to a ASP.NET DataSourceControl.

Hi, Vlad,

Thank you.

Do you have examples showing how to use ObjectDataSource with automatic Insert/Update/Delete? Since I am newbie, I don't know how to do it.

Also, before I saw your reply I was trying to do automatic Insert/Update/Delete with LinqDataSource, is it possible?

Thanks.
