Inline editting validation errors not stopping grid from updating

[Pat]

I followed the ajax editting docs and I have server side validation error correctly getting displayed.  But the grid action still completes and the grid reverts back to view mode instead of staying in edit mode so I can correct the errors.

How do I get the grid to not update itself?

Hello,

This is not supported out of the box but can be achieved with the approach suggested in this code-library.

Thanks.  I had originally tried what was in that example, but it didn't work for me.  So I tried it again, and this time it worked.

What I did was just add this

var grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");

           grid.one("dataBinding", function (e) {

               e.preventDefault();   // cancel grid rebind if error occurs                                             

           });

to my error function.  You should consider updating your mvc docs to include this snippet in that function.

I want to see this solution, however, I don't have VS 2010 and can't open the solution. Is it available in 2013?

Hello,

When you try to open the solution with VS 2013 it will ask you to make changes to the project file in order to include all new features introduced in this version of VS and make it available with this project. This is a MVC 3 project and it might need to update to MVC 4 or later. The following command will help you to do that. Also a reference to the Kendo.MVC.dll for .NET 4.0 will be required. Please refer to the Distribution Contents article to find the proper assembly version.
