When RadGrid renders, it inspects its SkinID and puts some default CssClass definitions in for you. This is fine. Apparently when it's setting the CssClass name to say, "RadGrid_Default", it first checks for the existence of "RadGrid_*" classes and removes them. I would expect this to happen. I assume it uses a regex that looks for:
conditional leading spaces + "RadGrid_" + some characters + conditional trailing spaces.
Unfortunately this is not good enough as it might incorrectly remove parts of classes that contain this string. Take "MyLongerNamedRadGrid_Default" for example. If I had this CssClass, and didn't set a SkinID, I could then inspect the ViewSource and find that it has "RadGrid_Default MyLongerNamed" as my
class attribute.
A simple fix might be to make those conditional leading/trailing spaces manditory, and to pad the cssClass with a leading/trailing space. Then at the end, trim the cssClass back down again. This way you can find the exact string your looking for.

Hi Brian,
RadGrid_Name is the grid main wrapper's CSS class, which also indicates the skin in use. Indeed, if you set a CSS class in the following format - *RadGrid_*, it will be stripped
However, if you insist on having a CSS class resembling the control's native CSS class naming convention, you can use MyLongerNamedGrid_Default (without "Rad").

Naturally this would "get me around" this issue, but you can't deny that this behavior is both unexpected and undesired. I have included the "pseudo code" fix in my previous post. I guess opening an issue in issue-tracker would be the most appropriate way of going about this. I'll look around the site to see how this is done here at telerik.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hello Brian,
We discussed this issue with our RadGrid developers and the final resolution is that the "RadGrid_Something" string is reserved and cannot be used in custom CSS classes. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
