Seems like this should be easy but I must just be missing something… I have a Telerik RadGrid on a page that allows inline editing. How do I programatically put the grid into edit mode to insert a new row into the grid. When the page loads I would like show the existing data and also display 1 empty row that a user can easily type into to add a new record to the table. (I don't want them to have to push the add new button)
