telerik grid bnding with dynamic columns

I'm using telerik MVC grid and my columns are dynamic for grid, means I can't bind the grid with strongly type model.

Through Ajax call, somehow I get the data in below image format (there are 3 column)

now question, how can i bind these records to grid, currently below code display nothing.

 @model IEnumerable<dynamic>
 @(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
                .Name("grdHierarchy")
                .Sortable()
                .Pageable()
                .Scrollable(scrolling => scrolling.Enabled(true)))

For a truly dynamic experience, i.e. you have no idea what the class will be and no idea what the properties will be until run time, you can combine these two concepts.

Try it this way:

.Columns(columns => columns.LoadSettings(Model.Columns))

Where Model.Columns are defined this way:

public List<GridColumnSettings> Columns { get; set; }

See this demo: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/columnsettings

I know this is old, but try this:

 .Columns(col => {                           
                   col.Bound("DynamicColumnName");
                 })

Just pass the column name as strings.

How about using the auto-generated columns concept presented here? Might be plausible for scenario like yours.
