What is RadGrid?

[Ray]

I am a bit confussed with this control..

a) It is targeted as a Gridview replacement? see docs
b) When trying to convert existign gridview code, it appears to be a datagrid rather than a gridview control ( see missing Caption support and lack of row conventions).
c) The missing Caption support is a real pain..
d) For some reason the convetions are not the same as either datagrid otr gridview which requires extensive work to use..
This thing is not.. a simple replacement for any existing asp control? or have  I missed something very basic in my trailing?
e) some of the skins seem to haev gridlines enabled, some not this inconsitancy breaks displays with chaneging skins!!
Or is this related to the problems with the Q1 skins, did the old ones have this problem?

Finally the comment:
 "The declarative syntax of Telerik RadGrid is quite similar to that of the Microsoft GridView control, which makes the migration a pretty straightforward task." is very deceptive advertising? it is not simular or a straightforward task..
The example provided is a trival and unrealistic example...

also from http://www.telerik.com/documents/ComparisonSheets/controls.pdf
Basic gridview funtionality like "Caption" is simple left out?


It realy cannot be this difficult to upgrade an existing code base to use Rad, can it?
I estimate it would probably take longer than the original coding.. anyone have experience with this, am I missing something ?

Thanks..

Hello Ray,

From my understanding, if you want to set the Caption for the grid you can use the Caption property of the MasterTableView. For information on setting the Caption/ styling the Caption for the MasterTableView check out the following help document:
Caption Property

Please feel free to update me if i'm missing out on something that you require.

Thanks
Princy.
