Hi Team,

KendoListView Data Source listing structure is completely different in different KendoListView versions.

In 2019.2.619

Data is coming directly under given div

In 2020.3.1118

Data is coming under k-listview-content div

Regards,

Christy.

Hi Christy,

The behavior you described occurs due to the rendering changes in the ListView component as of the Kendo UI R2 2020 release. Starting with this version, there has been added a wrapper element for the items in the list with the aim of improving the appearance of the widget. 

In case you desire to remove the new wrapper element, you may use the contentElement configuration option of the ListView and set it to an empty string value:

$("#listView").kendoListView({
   contentElement: ""
});

You can find more information regarding the mentioned rendering modifications in the breaking changes article linked below:

Let me know in case you need any further assistance.
