Post of values not appearing

[Felipe Casanova]

Can anyone see what is wrong with this please? I populate a grid. When I edit a row in the grid and choose save changes I have a controller action method being called by the datasource but I get a collection with one empty object - all properties are null or 0. 

var datasource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

         transport: {

            read: {

                url: "/AccountDetails/IndexForRequest/" + $("#Request.Id").val(),

                dataType: "json",

                data: { bankId: $("#BankId").val(), confirmationRequestId: $("Request.Id").val() }

            },

            update: {

                url: "/AccountDetails/EditForRequest",

                 

                type: 'POST',

                dataType: "json"

            },

            destroy: {

                url: "/AccountDetails/DeleteForRequest",

                type: 'POST',

                dataType: "json"

            },

            create: {

                url: "/AccountDetails/CreateForRequest",

                type: 'POST',

                dataType: "json"

            }

        },

        batch: true,

        pageSize: 30,

        schema: {

            model: {

                id: "Id",

                fields: {

                    Id: { editable: false, nullable: true },

                    Client: { editable: false, nullable: true },

                    Balance: { editable: false, nullable: true, type: "number" },

                    Currency: { editable: false, nullable: true },

                    EntityName: { editable: true, nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },

                    AccountName: { editable: true, nullable: true },

                    AccountNumber: { editable: true, nullable: false, validation: { required: true } },

                    SortCode: { editable: true, nullable: false, validation: { required: true } }

                }

            }

        }

    });

My controller action is...

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult EditForRequest(IList<AccountDetailDto> models)

        {

            List<AccountDetailDto> returnObject = GenerateAccountDataForClientA();

            return new JsonResult()

            {

                Data = returnObject,

                JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet

            };

        }

Thanks

data: { bankId: $("#BankId").val(), confirmationRequestId: $("Request.Id").val() } 

should be

data: "{'bankId':'" + $("#BankId").val() + "','confirmationRequestId':'" + $("Request.Id").val() + "'}"

Thanks but the grid populates ok so the read parameters are working. It is the update that isn't working.

[Troy Clemons]

sorry about that.

let me know if you get a good answer as i am having the same issue on update currently.

Hi Matt,

I guess that most probably the issue you have described is caused by incorrect format of the data send to the server. ASP.NET MVC ModelBinder will require request parameters to be in specific format in order the action parameters to be bound. Please refer to this demo project which demonstrates CRUD operations using Grid widget and ASP.NET MVC.
 
All the best,
