Is it possible to remeber the interaction the user made with the grid?  For example, if a user expands a column width, re-orders the columns I would like to save this information.  When they next visit the page I would retrieve this information (stored in a DB) and redraw the grid as it was.

1) I would like to save on every time the user interacts with the grid, which implies I need to get the column widths of all columns and the order of all the columns.

2) If possible I would also like to do this with the grouping.

The main issues I have with both points is finding out the current settings of the gird.  Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Thank you for the link, works very well.

However I have noticed a couple of problems.  If I use the grouping part of the grid, then save the settings, if I remove the group so the grid returns to a normal grid, then load the settings back in, the page does not display correctly.  The data loads in, however any columns previously hidded(done programatically) are displayed, also the styling for the grouping is wrong.  Any ideas?  If I click the load setting button for a second time it is then displayed correctly.

Another problem that also occurs is an error stating,

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: index


This appears if I have saved a grid with no grouping, I then select a column for grouping, load the previous settings (i.e. no grouping), which should remove the grouping.

Below is my code,

        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" GridLines="Both" ShowGroupPanel="True" PageSize="15" AllowSorting="true" AllowPaging="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
            <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ROWCLICK"
            </MasterTableView> 
            <ClientSettings ReorderColumnsOnClient="True" AllowDragToGroup="True" AllowColumnsReorder="True" EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true" > 
                <Resizing AllowRowResize="True" AllowColumnResize="True" EnableRealTimeResize="True" 
                    ResizeGridOnColumnResize="False"></Resizing> 
            </ClientSettings> 
        </telerik:RadGrid> 

 
 
    Public Sub standardGrid(ByVal dt As DataTable) 
 
        Dim boundColumn As GridBoundColumn 
 
        If Not IsPostBack Then 
 
            For Each column As DataColumn In dt.Columns 
                If column.ColumnName.ToString() <> "ROWCLICK" Then 
                    boundColumn = New GridBoundColumn 
                    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(boundColumn) 
 
                    boundColumn.DataField = column.ColumnName 
                    boundColumn.HeaderText = column.ColumnName.Replace("_"" "
 
                Else 
                    boundColumn = New GridBoundColumn 
                    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(boundColumn) 
 
                    boundColumn.DataField = column.ColumnName 
                    boundColumn.HeaderText = column.ColumnName 
 
                    boundColumn.Visible = False 
                End If 
            Next 
 
        End If 
 
 
        RadGrid1.DataSource = dt 
        RadGrid1.DataBind() 
    End Sub 
 
    Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As ObjectByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemCommand 
 
        If e.CommandName = "RowClick" AndAlso TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then 
 
            e.Item.Selected = True 
 
            Dim strTemp As String = e.Item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(e.Item.ItemIndex)("ROWCLICK"
            RadGrid1.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(String.Format("<span style='color:red'>{0}</span>", strTemp))) 
 
        End If 
    End Sub 
 
 
    Protected Sub btn_save_Click(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_save.Click 
        Dim SavePersister As New GridSettingsPersister(RadGrid1) 
        Session("settings") = SavePersister.SaveSettings() 
 
    End Sub 
 
    Protected Sub btn_load_Click(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_load.Click 
        If Not Session("settings") = Nothing Then 
            Dim settings As String = DirectCast(Session("settings"), String
            Dim LoadPersister As New GridSettingsPersister(RadGrid1) 
            LoadPersister.LoadSettings(settings) 
        End If 
    End Sub 

GridSettingsPersister is the class provided in the demos.

Any help would be mch appreciated!

Hi Russell,

I do not seem to be able to reproduce these issues you are describing. Attaching a sample project that demonstrates the full functionality of the GridSettingsPersister. Can you try to reproduce these issues in the sample project and let me know how I can do it too?
