Telerik RadGrid - Creating A Grouped Grid that allows sorting and editing

Today, I wanted to get the Telerik RadGrid (http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet/controls/grid/overview.aspx) 5.0 edit functionality working in conjunction with its grouping functionality.

Background: I have been temporarily seconded from the Lend Lease Property Pipeline project onto a high-profile BI project that has several dashboards for KPIs used by management (hosted within MOSS 2007 - parameters are passed into my page via Request.Params). I have a few management-style pages that need to be created - but they have to be editable so this excludes Reporting Services from the equation.

One of the requirements of this particular page was to have automatic grouping of risks and opportunities into different sections of the grid. However, when I set up the grid my code triggered the edit event, I get the following error:

[InvalidConstraintException: Cannot have 0 columns.]

Google only returned 2 results on this error - and they didn't give me a direct solution. After looking through the Telerik site, I found a few clues which pointed to the fact I had to have both the "Select Fields" and "GroupByFields" Set in the grid. Here is my current (unfinished) version of the page) which show that magic combination of code hacks and declarative settings to get the grid to work in all its Databound AJAX-enabled editable groupable glory!
