Here is my code : just change the datasource to northwind database in "GetConnectionString()" method

I'm only able to edit EmployeeID = 2 ... in RadGrid2 ... All other rows can't get edited.
Besides, I'm unable to update the only editable row (EmployeeID = 2) ... 

Must I add "NeedDataSource" or something like that for RadGrid2 ? 

Any help would be great, because this is a basic thing and I waste a lot of time to figure out how to do with Telerik component ...
Is it possible to have an "EditItemTemplate" instead of all columns spreaded vertically when I click "edit" button ?

Hello RadTony,

You do need the NeedDataSource event or in other words Advanced binding for the second grid and remove the data-binding logic from the Page_PreRender and Page_PreRenderComplete events. You should find the following help article helpful as well:

Tsvetoslav,

          I put "needDataSource" event, but I can't get rid of   "RadGrid1_PreRender" method in my code.
          
         RadGrid2's data must be synchronized with RadGrid1's data ... 

          And each time the user expands a row in RadGrid1, The PreRender method enables me to get the expanded Row's IDs and populate RadGrid2 in a given order (the same order as they appear in RadGrid1 and not the natural order in which they are in database)

          I paste my actual c# code. I removed databinding in Page_Load and Page_PreRenderComplete events.
May be I must do the binding of events (edit, update) in PreRender method for each row ? I can't edit any row actually.

Hello RadTony,

I'd recommend that you use the NeedDataSource event for both grids. And if you need any modification to the second grid's data after the first one is data-bound you can use RadGrid1's OnDataBound event.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
