Ajax bind - possible to pass parameters to controller?

[michael miller]

Hi all, I have a MVC grid bound to a controller action and pulling data; it looks great. 

Now the trick: I'd like to pass user input along with the request. In this example, there is a search box on the form, which needs to come up as a parameter. I see in the documentation that you *can* pass parameters to the Select action using ViewData, but that doesn't help me here.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated !

Hello Michael,

You can send additional data by intercepting OnDataBinding client event and modify e.data.

Hello Nikolay,

what kind of object is 'e' in your example and, more important, how can I get it in javascript. I'm trying to set the OnDataBinding purely in javascript. The problem is that I'm seperating JavaScript and HTML-Code and the JavaScript is loaded after the html has been loaded. I tried

$j("#Grid").data = {
   parameter1: "value"
}

But this obviously doesnt work..

Any help appreciated.

Best wishes
Simon

Hello Simon,

e is the argument of the event passed to the handler. The link in my previous post contains sample code for the handler.
