I have a project which is MVC. In it, I use the telerik grid. I need to choose whether I will user server or ajax binding. What is the difference between these two?
I was told that when I pass data from the controller to the view via model, that is server binding. Is this true? If yes, how else to pass data?
Server binding will refresh the page every time where the Ajax one will be done on the browser with no page reloading. At least that is the difference from the user's prospective.
Ajax binding will need an extra method (the examples on the Telerik website are using " _AjaxBinding()"). That method is called in the grid .ajax() located in the view.
And yes, A normal call is server binding.

I know two ways of submitting form data: by having a button of type submit or by an AJAX post call. What is the difference between those two regarding performace?
This is a very general question, so here is a very general answer.
If you implement the AJAX call efficiently on the server, then you can expect AJAX to be more performant (when measured on the server) than a full page round-trip.
For instance, if you use ASP.NET, clicking a button to submit a page will cause a POST of the form data and a complete re-buildup and rendering of the page. That is not necessary with an AJAX call, if you use real AJAX and not the Microsoft AJAX Control Toolkit for ASP.NET.
Better to use Ajax.BeginForm instead of Html.BeginForm. It will prevent the full postback and will improve the performance.
Ajax POST
Ajax post prevents reload and postback.İt sends data to controller.
Form Data
İt occurs reload page and postback.İt sends data to controller.

difference between Kendo DropDownList for server binding and ajax binding.
You can see for example this answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/10542545/1127669.
Basically, server binding will refresh the whole page every time an action changes the list whether the ajax binding sends an ajax request which only changes the dropdownlist...
I have created an MVC application that uses webgrids to display data on my views. In my grid's toolbar I have drop downs, text boxes and a search button that call Jquery to perform various actions. For example, if I click the search button, I refresh the grid via Ajax based on a text entry. This all works well until interaction with the webgrid (page or sort) occurs. We noticed that if any ajax calls are made, then the sorting and paging do not work anymore. Also, if I load the page and page or sort first, then none of my JavaScript works. I have been researching this issue, but have not seen any concrete solutions. Does anyone have recommendations for a solution?
I would wager to guess that you are attaching your jquery handlers in the document.ready function using something like $("#Sort").click(function(){});. When you reload the grid via an AJAX call, the jquery handlers are not reattached since the DOM was not reloaded. Try using something like this $("#Sort").live('click', function(){}); which will attach the handler to any instance of your identifier once it is present on the page.
This is was a complete guess since you posted no code, but this and the post you referenced above (SO post) seems to have fixed your issue.
I'm using microsoft ajax and ajax.beginform.
It's working great for model binding my partial view, but I need to conditionally disable some of the buttons in my form itself depending on what comes back from the server.
How can I go about this without using JQuery?
Have you thought instead about using two separate views instead, and have your conditional logic in your controller determine which view to display.
I have a Telerik MVC Tabstrip.
I have used:
.LoadContentFrom("Grid", "Orders");
"Grid" Action just returns view without model. Then the Ajax request should have been fired to get the data.
It is loading the grid normally but it is not calling the Ajax request to fill the data.
If I am calling the same action normally i.e. without ajax it displays grid and fires Ajax request to load the data.
Perhaps you've missed to register the required JavaScript files for the Grid. You can check the following help topics:

This one uses MVC 1.0 but can be surely converted to MVC 2.0
