In SharePoint, Replace ListView with RadGrid

[itpurchasing]

basically, I need the functionality from the radgrid to replace the listview webpart. Is there an easy way to do this? If no, how to I create a user control with the radgrid and set the datasource to a SharePoint list?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for contacting us and for your question.

Currently RadGrid is not capable of replacing the SP ListView web part, however, the creation of such a web part control is in the road map for the next release of the RadControls suite, so, please, stand by.

Concerning your second question - binding the RadGrid control to a Sharepoint list is also an unsupported scenario. If you insist on using RadGrid for that purpose you need to take the current/default View of the SP List, traverse its fields collection for the columns that are of interest to you, build a datatable or a collection of custom objects based on those fields and the data contained within and bind the datable/collection to the grid.

I hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, do let us know.
