Assorted Frustrations

So using the Telerik RadGrid is pretty great, but it does seem to have its share of issues.  Not finding any serious issues though it is quite flexible. The odd message "GROUP CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS PAGE. SHOWING 1 OF 2 ITEMS.)" would show up in one of my group headers even when paging was off with  AllowPaging="false"  in the top RadGrid section and in the MasterTableView.  Placing the GroupContinuedFormatString="" worked fine like below. <GroupingSettings GroupContinuedFormatString=""  CollapseAllTooltip="Collapse all groups"></GroupingSettings> This will not work, at least it does not in mine, it actually crashes the page.  <GroupingSettings  IgnorePagingForGroupAggregates="true" ></GroupingSettings> ------- Update Seems like this may not be enough to get rid of the problems.  Some other messages are creeping in there.

As anyone that has dealt with this knows Telerik only supports a single Group or Header Template.  So what happens when you want to change them?  You really only have two options from what I have seen.  The first option is to have something in the data that is brought back that you can use in the designer code in the form of a conditional.  Too bad I do not see a way to check the data based on level like some sort of ParentID like some people have done.  If the ParentID is null  It would look something like below where you check it in the designer: < asp : Label runat = "server" ID = "Label2" Text = '<%# "Number of items in group: "+ (((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) %>' Visible = '<%# ((((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) != null)%>' > Or you can use the code behind to really get at the groupIDs like this per
