Is there a way to reset the URL of a datasource

[Alvaro]

Hi

I'm using a datasource to populate a grid. When the page loads for the first time I set the URL variable to the datasource. How can I change the URL of the datasource after it was created? The url changes when the user clicks on several items in the page and I don't want to use data property to send parameters to the url (the url changes and the parameters also).

If I initialize the datasource in every click I have strange behaviour. I've read in the forum that it's not advisable to do that

Thanks for your attention

Hi Alvaro,

The transport settings are stored in the dataSource at: dataSource.transport.options.  If you had a dataSource defined as:

ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({

    type: 'json',

    transport: {

        read: '/Home/GetInitialRecords'

    }

});

You could change the dataSource url and requery with the following:

ds.transport.options.read.url = '/Home/GetNewRecords';

ds.read();

This will also update the grid.

Let me know if you would like for me to post a sample application in either ASP.NET MVC ASPX / Razor or Python Django.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
