Populating Grid manually

[Miguel]

Is there a way to populate a grid manually?

In my application I'm uploading a file with a list of sales orders and a few other columns that will have a server-side process. At the end of processing all the sales order list, I want to report back to the user in a nice grid all the sales orders and data that he uploaded with an additional column specifying the status of the operation.

So there is no database to bind the Grid. Is this doable with RadGrid?

Hi Miguel,

You can set the DataSource of the grid to a DataTable or a collection with custom objects:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/data-binding/understanding-data-binding/server-side-binding/various-data-sources/binding-to-datatable-or-dataset 
• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/data-binding/understanding-data-binding/server-side-binding/various-data-sources/tips-when-binding-to-custom-collections

If the data will be provided after some condition, you will have to use the Simple Data-Binding approach demonstrated in the following help topic:
