The problem is that I can not display the data in the jqGrid. Maybe I dodn't understand something or I'm on wrong way of integration jqGrid into .net application.

If I change URL (url: 'data.xml',) to use XML file as data provider I can see data in the grid. Both files (data.xml and data.aspx) have the same response in the browser.

Aspx file with grid.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="GridForm.aspx.cs" Inherits="VL.Apollo.WebForm1" %>

...

    <table id="list1"></table>
    <div id="pager1"></div>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery().ready(function (){
            jQuery("#list1").jqGrid({
                url: 'data.aspx',
                datatype: "xml",
                colNames:['Inv No','Name'],
                colModel:[
                    {name:'id',index:'id', width:75},
                    {name:'name',index:'name', width:100}
                ],
                rowNum:10,
                autowidth: true,
                rowList:[10,20,30],
                pager: jQuery('#pager1'),
                sortname: 'id',
                viewrecords: true,
                sortorder: "desc",
                caption:"XML Example" }).navGrid('#pager1',{edit:false,add:false,del:false});
            });
    </script>

Aspx with data

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="data.aspx.cs" Inherits="VL.Apollo.WebForm2" %>
