[Solved] Use a custom external page for inserting and editing

[Polaris431]

Instead of using the built-in support of inserting/editing a record in a popup dialog, I would prefer to use an external web page. This allows me to do a lot more things that are either not possible with a popup or difficult to implement. I could not find an example the shows how this can be done. Essentially, when the "Add New Record" button is pressed (or the Edit button) in the grid, I need to popup my external page and handle the editing/inserting. On my external page would be a Save button and when pressed would close the page and cause the RadGrid to update itself with the newly created record or updated record.

Can you tell me how to go about doing this?

Thank you
Johann

Thanks Vlad. The reason I didn't find that was because I was looking under the section Insert/Update/Delete, where it probably logically belongs. Instead, it is located under the Application Scenarios.
