I just ran into a situation with the Beta where setting the default value of a Guid column throws an error. Here is some pseudocode:

public class FloorPlanModel

{

[ScaffoldColumn(false)]

public Guid Id { get; set; }

[ScaffoldColumn(false)]

public Guid PropertyId { get; set; }

public string Name { get; set; }

public decimal Bedrooms { get; set; }

}

And the following Grid code (unnecessary parts omitted):

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<FloorPlanModel>()

.Name("floorPlanGrid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(p => p.Name);

columns.Bound(p => p.Bedrooms).Width(80).EditorTemplateName("Bedrooms");

})

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Batch(true)

.ServerOperation(false)

.Model(model => {

model.Id(p => p.Id);

model.Field(p => p.PropertyId).DefaultValue(Model.Id);

model.Field(p => p.Bedrooms).DefaultValue(1);

})

)

...where Model.Id is also a Guid, I get this error:

Cannot serialize objects of type System.Guid

I can switch the Model to a string, set the default to Model.Id.ToString(), and then get it back into a Guid on the backend, but that is obviously not ideal.

Any chance this could get fixed before RTM?

Thanks!
