Is there any free / open source alternative to the Kendo UI Grid?
I used to use their Grid module when it was included in the free version, now it isn't anymore and, as I only need the Grid module, it is too expensive for me.
I don't know is this even alternative for Kendo UI grid but jQuery DataTables plugin is one https://www.datatables.net
It does have paging, sorting, supports almost every datasource and can be themed by Twitter Bootstrap, jQuery UI etc.
There are lots of libraries but I introduce some of them
zinoUI
jQuery EasyUI
jQWidgets
Wijmo
a source for Pros and Cons is : Top 5 jQuery UI Alternatives
All of the above libraries are modular so you can only use the grid.
Ag Grid is one of the best ones I stumbled upon. Using in production since last year.

I am trying to create a application which involves in heavy usage of data grid. I found in few articles that telerik kendo ui grid is free to use. As there is lot of confusion on telerik grid as open source from link 2, I am trying to check if someone really used this as open source. Is it really open source and free to use?
Link 1, Link 2
The open source version of Kendo UI used to include the grid component, but no longer does:
Now, not all Kendo UI widgets are created equal. Some widgets - like
the Grid, Scheduler, and Editor - are so feature-rich that they're
more solutions than widgets. As such, they consume a great deal of
engineering effort to build and maintain. To ensure that critical
widgets like these continue to get the proper attention and focus they
deserve from our engineering team, we’ve decided to offer these only
with Kendo UI Professional (formerly Kendo UI Complete)
The original announcement is available here: https://www.telerik.com/blogs/announcing-kendo-ui-core
You can also see a full comparison of the two versions here: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/comparison
I want to download the minified version of kendo ui grid javascript file. From where I can download that? Also, will it be possible to download kendo javascript files without licence.
You can find documentation on Telerik's CDN for Kendo UI here if you own a licence and want to use their CDN instead of installing Kendo UI locally.
Kendo UI Core you can find on GitHub and use freely.
While it is certainly possible to use the CDN version of the full Kendo UI version wihtout having a licence, you shouldn't. You use the library which proves it's valuable. So, it's no different from the effort you make in your own development. You would want to get paid, wouldn't you?
I just started with Kendo UI and I am using Open Source package of Kendo UI. SO in the package I am not able to see any javascript files which contains name chart. I want to display some charts . So I am doubt that is open source package of kendo ui is supporting charts.
Anyway I have added following Kendo.core.min.js and Kendo.data.min.js to the page and called to chart function. But it's throwing error.
Any guidance would be very really helpful .
Charts are not contained in the open source version of Kendo UI Core product. They are available in the professional version but this has a cost associated with it ($699). If you take a look at the following link:
Kendo UI Core vs Kendo UI Professional
If you require charting needs and do not wish to page for the Chart features then give HighCharts a look. They are free to use in a non-commercial setting and are generally considered one of the the better solutions out there.
Hopefully this answers your question adequately.
Please check the below URL , It will help you to find out which all features are available in which all versions.

There are too many open source, jquery based charts are available. See this list: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/javascript-graphs-and-charts-libraries
I tempted to apply skin to my winform application which has many datagrids.
Many people recommend telerik and I changed datagrids to telerik's gridview.
Unfortunately gridview's properties and events name alot differently in telerik and standard winforms datagrid. and I have to rewrite a lot of code from scratch
Is there simpler alternative?
No, if you want to use Telerik's grid, you have to go through the hard process of rewriting the code to work with the new events, etc. unfortunately.
We've all been there :-)
HTH.
In Telerik documentation we must use server binding when binding complex objects.
How can we activating Insertion and Editing mode in Telerik mvc grid with ajax binding of complex objects?
how we can customize the whole of insert form and edit form
ie. drawing drop down lists for properties of reference types
thanks in advance
How about using server edit template for that, is it applicable? I crawled the online MVC demos on their site and hit upon this one.
I found a solution.
I am using Client Edit Templates for this scenario but there is a problem in the ScriptRegisterar I think, the problem related to registering Telerik DropDown javascript files.
I made initial solution which is to add a line of code to the ScriptRegisterar to explicit register the javascript file "telerik.list.js"
OR add a dummy Telerik DropDown list in the same page where you want it to appear in the grid, and you have to hide it using css.
This is a bug in the final version of telerik 2010.3.1110
