I'm using ASP.NET Web API 5.2.3, and I'm having problems getting the DataSourceRequest to work properly. I followed the instructions at http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/web/grid/how-to/web-api-server-operations but it appears paging and filtering options are not coming through with the request. Is the information on that page still valid for current releases?
Thanks,
Joel

Yes, those instructions are still valid. Perhaps you have missed some configuration option - check whether the type option of the data source and the schema are set as in the example. You can also check the sample project linked in the help article.

It's working now. I may have fell victim to request caching in my browser. I was previously using MVC for the DataSource, which apparently uses a POST for the request parameters. I changed to Web API, but last week the parameters were still being sent in a POST. When testing today, the request is sent as a GET and all parameters are getting through. I assume the different request types for DataSource (POST for MVC and GET for Web API) is by design?
Thanks,

Hello Joel,
Indeed, this is by design. The WebApi (being a REST service) is set to handle the GET verb for data fetching. Thus, this is why in this case, the GET verb is used instead of POST.
