Add Items to KendoDataSource does not trigger the transport create function

[Anil]

Using KendoDataSource's "add" method adds to the local view model object and does not call the transport create method. Is there a version of the add method that calls the create method defined in transport (in my case my code is similar to the aspnet-crud example project in kendo grid). I would want my controller method called on kendodatasource add. Please advise

Hello Anil,

If I understand your requirement correctly you need to  configure autoSync or call sync right after add.

Hello Nikolay,  Thank you the autosync works and calls the server side code (controller). However after calling the server it does not not update the view model again, i have to call read on the kendodatasource object. Is there anyway for it to auto refresh the data source

Thanks,
Anil

Hello Anil,

You will have to return the newly created item in order to be accepted from the DataSource. For example see what is the response in the browser console in Grid editing demo when you insert new record.

You can also see variations on server side implementation in the following code library applications:
