[Solved] AjaxBinding paging problem with ActionLink

[Ani Jalan]

I have a grid which is Ajax bound. One of the columns is an ActionLink.
I am not able to page (it just hangs). The first page renders fine. may paging works if I remove this column.

View:
    <%= Html.Telerik().Grid(DataHelper.GetSearchList(ViewData))
            .Name("SearchList")
            .Columns(columns =>
             {
             columns.Add(o => o.Id).Format(Html.ActionLink("{0}", "View", "SearchGUI", new { Id = "{0}" }, null).ToString()).Encoded(false).Title("Id");
             columns.Add(o => o.AddedBy);
             })
           .Ajax(ajax => ajax.Action("AjexBinding", "Search"))
           .Pageable(pager => pager.PageSize(30).Style(GridPagerStyles.Numeric))

Controller:
        [GridAction]
        public virtual ActionResult AjexBinding()
        {
            IEnumerable<TItem> dataItems = Session[ListSessionKey] as IEnumerable<TItem>;
            if (dataItems == null)
            {
                dataItems = new TItem[0];
            }
            return View(new GridModel<TItem> { Data = dataItems });
        }

Hello Ani Jalan,

Have you included a ScriptRegistrar after your grid? This is mandatory as the script registrar outputs the JavaScript required to perform ajax paging.

yes I have the ScriptRegistrar.
As I said everything works if I remove the ActionLink column.

My workaround at this point is to not use actionLink but format the action link in one of the properties of Model.

Hi Ani Jalan,

Do you see any JavaScript erros when this problem occurs? If yes could you please let us know what the error message says?

Hi Ani,

First thanks for posting youre code, I was looking for a way to add an action link to the grid and youre code work just fine for me. I'm replying because even the paging works fine.

So I'm posting my code, maybe you could find the difference, I'm using all the latest versions :

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid<CustomerCfms>()
                .Name("Grid")
                .Columns(colums =>
                 {
                     colums.Add(c => c.FirstName).Title("Prénom");
                     colums.Add(c => c.LastName).Title("Nom");
                     colums.Add(c => c.Phone1).Title("Téléphone");
                     colums.Add(c => c.IsCommercial).Title("Commercial");
                     colums.Add(c => c.City).Title("Ville");
                     colums.Add(c => c.Id).Format(Html.ActionLink("Modifier", "Edit", "CustomerCfms", new { Id = "{0}" }, null).ToString()).Encoded(false).Title("");
                 })
                .Ajax(a => a.Action("ListCustomersAjax", "CustomerCfms"))
                .Pageable(p => p.PageSize(5).Style(GridPagerStyles.NextPreviousAndNumeric))
                .Sortable()
                .Scrollable()
        %>

Good luck!
