In the project I'm currently working we are trying to reduce the number of server calls we have to do to bind the grid since the data is coming from wcf service which implies some overhead on the overall operation.
Currently for displaying some of the information we are using the Edit Form with a template that only contains read-only fields. Is it possible to make the grid send the HTML code to the client and use a column to expand/collapse the form similar to what is shown in the Grid/Mixed Hierarchy Loading sample?
Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hello Agustin,
In order to implement the desired functionality, I recommend that you use the approach from the Client-side Insert/Update/Delete demo.
I hope this helps.

Mira thanks for your reply but that approach doesn't fit the needs of the project. The design that was accepted by the client implies having the detailed information of a record as row bellow. To achieve this and be consistent with that design we used the edit form template approach by making all the fields read-only.
While waiting for a response to this question I found that populating the EditIndexes collection with all the corresponding values the edit form was rendered on the client and I was thinking on using some javascript/jQuery to make those rows visible/hidden. The other problem I'm facing with that approach is that the alternating rows are not marked as such causing that all the rows look in the same way. Any suggestions? Is this approach fine? Is there any better way to do it?
Thanks in advance

Hello Agustin,
When the RadGrid is bound client-side, no subsequent trips are made to the server and the default editors cannot be rendered. The most straightforward option to work-around this is to use an external edit form as I already have mentioned.
Please examine this help topic to see the specifics of the client-side binding of the grid.
