I have a few grids, for which user can sort, filter, group and reorder columns. Also user can choose what are all columns he/she need to view in grid. All sort, filter, grouping and reordering are done by default, and i did visibility functionality by providing interface like add/remove columns, where user can choose hidden columns to show and visible columns to hide. After this selection i am setting IsVisible property of Grid.Columns in a loop.
Now I need to store all these settings per user basis in database and should load with the same state whenever he returns. Can I have any sample code to achieve this?

Thanks for your quick reply!
But I have some data format strings associated with some of columns. so I have declared all the gridview columns as GridViewDataColumn. And initially some columns are hidden as per my logic. In your example you are using RadGridViewSettings object. How I can use this in my case to store the settings in Database. When I tried to serialize the settings object it is throwing exception as there is no default constructor for Class RadGridViewSettings.
Check the following exception message:
"Telerik.Settings.RadGridViewSettings cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor."
How can i get the settings as xml string?
