In addition to the server/ajax delete feature of Telerik RadGrid there is already client-side delete available which
allows you to erase records without making a round trip to the server. This optimizes the performance and the source
data is automatically refreshed on the subsequent post to the server. The user experience is improved because the
delete action is done client-side and the table presentation is updated immediately.
In order to trigger client-side delete action you need to add
GridClientDeleteColumn to the set of columns. This
column is special type of GridButtonColumn designated for the task. It has
ConfirmText property which can be
assigned like with the default GridButtonColumn.
The client-side delete feature supports:
- NoRecordsTemplate (including hierarchy)
- Hierarchy (no matter client/server or ajax)
- The editing data functionality will remain unaffected
- Automatic deletes with data source control under ASP.NET 2.0
- Manual delete with ability to cancel the delete action in the corresponding DeleteCommand/ItemCommand
handler (by setting e.Canceled to true)
