We've been suffering for some time without a library like Telerik to create what are, more or less, CRUD forms. Every one is a little different. The special need of this particular page, for which we're evaluating Telerik, is simply that there are 2 levels: there are many A's (maybe a few dozen new ones a year), each of which have many B's (maybe dozens to hundreds). So, it's like a list of lists.
We've created a prototype with a RadGrid of A's, but are stumped on how to modify the edit box to show anything more than just the columns present in the RadGrid of A's. We were hoping to put another RadGrid (of B's) in the edit box. How should we approach this?

Hi Alan,
From a structural point of view, you can use a hierarchy to present the data.
Additionally, the control can only show the present DataFields in edit mode, when use the autogenerated edit forms. Another alternative would be to use a form template edit form:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/templateformupdate/defaultcs.aspx
or event a user control edit form. Each one of these allow you to completely remodel the edit form, and include additional controls in it.
I hope this information helps.
