Hierarchical grid with MVCContrib

Question

I am trying to find the best solution for creating a hierarchical grid in my ASP.NET MVC project. First, I looked at jqGrid and found the "treeGrid" option, which is exactly what I'm looking for. However, from what I can say, jqGrid is not free, and my client is not interested in buying a license for it.

To get an idea of ​​what I need, a jqGrid "Grid Tree" demo can be found on this page in the "New in Version 3.3" section:
http://www.trirand.com/jqgrid/jqgrid.html

What are my other options for creating a hierarchical grid? The libraries that I still use are ASP.NET MVC, MVCContrib, and jQuery, but I'm open to adding anything else. I'm sure I can also collapse if necessary. If I have to minimize on my own, what approach should I take?

Thanks,

~ Justin

Ok thanks jfar comment. Now I understand a little more about jqGrid licensing. jqGrid is free. What is not free is "jqGrid for ASP.NET", which is completely different. So yes, I'm going to use jqGrid with the Tree Grid option, and it should work perfectly. Thanks for helping jfar.
