You can enable automatic data editing for the jQuery Data Grid when it’s bound to a DataSource control like SqlDataSource, LinqDataSource, EntityDataSource, etc., or use the extensive API to handle the CRUD operations in a custom manner. Display the edit form inline, as a regular form or in a popup. Enable batch editing to allow users to edit multiple items and save them all by hitting the Save button just once.

See the jQuery Data Grid Editing demos

Use any declarative data source control (AccessDataSource, SqlDataSource, LinqDataSource, EntityDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, OpenAccessDataSource), or bind the grid to your custom objects on the fly. Take advantage of the server events, which are executed only when the grid needs to get fresh data from the server. Declarative and programmatic client-side binding to ASP.NET Web Services, WCF, ADO.NET, OData services and Page Methods is also supported. Whether you want to use local data, or to serve your data via calls back to the server, you are covered. Out-of-the-box, the jQuery Grid can bind to these various sources allowing you to pick the most optimal solution for your implementation.

Effortlessly guide users to any data point with the Kendo UI for jQuery Grid “scroll to item” method. Whether it needs to initially display a specific row or to auto-navigate based on certain triggers or user actions, the scrollToItem() method makes it easy to deliver intuitive user experiences.

In a scrollable Grid case, the ID of the data item is passed to the scrollToItem() method, while in a virtual scrolling scenario, when the row is not yet loaded, the ID of the data item is passed and a callback function to the scrollToItem() is triggered.
