How to create MVC Grid with variable number of columns by referencing model IEnumerable property

[Michael]

Hi

I'm trying to create a grid with a variable number of columns using the MVC Grid component referencing the following (simplified) model:-

public class GridModel
{
     public int Id { get; set; }
     public string Name { get; set; }
     public List<int> Values { get; set; }
}

Using the AutoGenerate option of the column configuration only seems to create columns for the Id & Name model properties, but not the Values enumerable.

I can't find an obvious way to achieve this; could you provide some help please?

Thanks in Advance

Hello Michael,

As discussed in the support ticket that you have opened with the same question, using the auto-generated columns mechanism is not applicable in such scenario and you will have to manually create the columns in a similar to the used in the following example approach:

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/how-to/Binding/grid-bind-to-datatable

If further questions arise I would suggest that we continue the communication in the support ticket.
