Application is blocked while reading from DataSource

[wizmagister]

Hello, I could not find anything on this (hope it's not been answered somewhere already). 

I'm refresh my grid's content every minute by calling :

      GridControl.DataSource.read();

The server sometimes takes a long time to process the request, and this block the execution of the clien side application. The user cannot click on the grid or on any other controls. Once the information is received from the server, Kendo display it instantly. 

Is there a way to make the ".read()" async ?

Thanks !

Hi Marc,

I tried to reproduce the issue locally, but to no avail - while the response is received I am able to click on the other controls outside of the Grid. Could you please send us a simple test project which reproduces the depicted issue? Thus I will be able to observe the problem and advice you further.

Hello, it will be hard for me to provide a test, but I'll see what I can do. 

So I undertand that the read function is ASYNC by default ? 

Thansk !

Hello Marc,

Yes, that is correct - by default when you call the read() function of the dataSource an async request is used.
