Hi
I am trying to bind a data table to Grid on button click.
I am able bind data, however
1. I want to show a blank grid when the page is loaded
2. Show data only on button click
When I bind the grid, the json response is coming as a JavaScript file to download
I have attacked the code of controller and view that I am using 
Also the screenshot

Hello Ajay,

Generally, there is no problem to show an empty Grid. You should either bind it to an empty collection initially, or use Ajax binding and set AutoBind(false).

http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/ajax-binding

http://docs.kendoui.com/api/wrappers/aspnet-mvc/Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent/GridBuilder#methods-AutoBind(System.Boolean)

It looks like you want to pass aditional (filtering) parameters to the Grid Read action method. In this case you can configure a Javascript function to be executed when the Grid datasource's client read() method is called.

http://docs.kendoui.com/api/web/grid#fields-dataSource

http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource#methods-read


The fact that Internet Explorer offers to open/save the JSON response, suggests that the JSON response is sent with a wrong content-type, and/or that the browser doesn't support the response content-type. This is not related to Kendo UI.

Hi Phil,

In order to pass additional parameters when making a CRUD request, you can use the data method.

The JQuery syntax and the MVC syntax.
