I have a requirement from a client where I have to develop a custom data grid for a project where the user should have an option to choose the columns to be displayed and change the order of the columns as needed . The user should be able to create multiple views and store them in their session. Is there a way the users can create custom views on the client side with Telerik RADGrid control? If not, can you suggest a good design approach using a combination of Telerik controls or any other GUI controls which you feel will best serve the purpose?

I will be using LLBLGen as the OR mapping tool and Telerik RAD Grid for presentation. Thank You, -Pattabhi

Hi Pattabhi, I can think in two options:

A. At client Hide/Show some columns based on the user request. Then you can store at session an array of column names selected.

B. Use DynamicList to specify the fields the user are looking for.

Did you consider those before?

Hi David, Thanks for the response. No I haven't. I will give it a try. I was trying to avoid having to build the dynamic list, menues that save user preferences with multiple views etc. I was looking for the easiest option. Here in an option I found in Telerik website, though i haven't tried it yet.
