Kendo Grid Datasource

[Anto (DLL Version : 2008.3.1314.35)]

Hi Everybody,

     I am trying to bind the kendoui grid using a method on my code behind page (i.e c# page)

    My aspx page content is like beow:

    In the below code block the portion that is marked in bold is the place were we specify data source for the grid.
    My doubt is, how do i bind this grid by calling a method (that return a json or string) in my code behind page,
    without using webservices.

   how do i specify a c# method as datasource, and what possible values can that function return.

<div id="example" class="k-content">
        <div id="grid">
        </div>
        <script>
               
                $(document).ready(function() {
                    $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                        dataSource: {
                            
                            transport: {
                                read: { url:"testgrid.aspx/LoadData",            
                                    dataType: "string"}
                            },
                            schema: {
                                model: {
                                    fields: {
                                        Age: { type: "number" },                                        
                                        Name: { type: "string" }
                                    }
                                }
                            },
                            pageSize: 10,
                            serverPaging: true,
                            serverFiltering: true,
                            serverSorting: true
                        },
                        height: 250,
                        filterable: true,
                        sortable: true,
                        pageable: true,
                        columns: [{
                                field:"Age",
                                filterable: false
                            },
                            
                            "Name"
                        ]
                    });
                });
            </script>
    </div>
Any one please give a suggestion to bind the kendo grid using code behind(c#) methods.

I am using visual studio 2008 and .net framework 3.5.

Thank You,
