Absolute url for ajax data CrudOperationBuilder configuration example?

[David]

Hi, 
   I am remotely consuming a grid hosed in an MVC application. For the most part I have got it working as I am using template fields for the allot of things. 

I am parsing some of the elements in a method that calls to controller which renders the grid as a partial view. I then spit this out into a literal control in an aspx page. 

I need to be able to get the pager functionality calling the ajax data  source with an absolute url rather than the relative one it currently uses. 

so this is my data source action 

[AllowCrossSite]
public ActionResult FallsDataSource([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, string casenote)
{
    IList<FallsAssessEventDTO> events = bedmanEvents.GetEvents(casenote, BedmanEventType.FallsRiskAssessment).Cast<FallsAssessEventDTO>().ToList();
    var model = events.Select(e => (FallsAssessment)e).ToList();
    AddImages(model);
    var queryable = model.AsQueryable();
    return Json(model.ToDataSourceResult(request));
}

below is the ajax datasource configuration 

datasource.Ajax().Read(read => read.Url("http://" + Request.Url.Host).Action("FallsDataSource", "FallsAssessment", new { Casenote = ViewBag.Casenote }))).Pageable()

I was looking at the Url method on the CrudOperationBuilder but unsure how to use this properly. 

Thanks

Hi David,

 
The URL method expects the full URL to be passed as string - please check the example below:

.Read(read => read.Url("http://someAddress.com/Home/Read").Data("additionalDataFunction"))

Also please note that the Action method should be removed in this case as it will override the URL passed to the URL method. 
Kind Regards,
