RadGrid Add new record vs. Edit Record

You can put it into edit mode by calling on the pre-render event for the grid.

Here is some sample C# code to do that.

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (IsPostBack) return;

    foreach (var item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
    {
        var editableItem = item as GridEditableItem;
        if (editableItem == null) continue;

        editableItem.Edit = true;
        PreviewRadGrid.Rebind();
    }       
}
