RadDataForm was introduced in Q3 2014 and provides seamless integration with RadGrid. This demo illustrates how you can use DataForm as an external edit form of RadGrid.

The example demonstrates how SelectedIndexChanged event of RadGrid is used to bind the RadDataForm. After the control is data-bound you can switch the RadDataForm between edit and preview modes to update the data in the grid.
