Hi,
I think it's very typical scenario that a search result in a grid style. However, I cannot find any example on using Telerik Grid for such scenario. I'm using ASP.NET MVC 2 currently.
The first problem is about data binding. It seems that it is typical to get search result list by using HTTP POST. However, the Telerik Grid seems not too friendly with this if you want to use any features like sorting, paging. It uses HTTP GET as callback.
The second problem is difficulty in using the Ajax binding. I don't know how can it works with the model binder inside ASP.NET MVC. Is there any example that I can follow? Thanks!
Regards,
Alex

I have a requirement for the search filters and results to be shown on the same page. EF4 is our ORM, and we have been having trouble getting AJAX to do paging, etc for the result grids. Server side paging seems to be fine, but nothing happens when using AJAX with the same data retrieval. I've ran into one error after another, and have run out of time for any more trial and error iterations.
My data structure is like Parent-Child-GrandChild. Primary search field is date-range, and about 5 other drop-down list values (filters are from all data levels)
Please provide guidance/best practice for creating a page with search criteria, and how to display the results in related Telerik grids. Would it be better to have one complex class and use heirachy grids, or 3 sperate classes and grids? Any special concerns using Entity Framework 4 and MVC Grid Ajax?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
