We need your feedback, because we are considering changes in the release approach for Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core. Please provide your feedback in the comments section below:


1. Is it hard to understand the version numbers of our releases? If yes, what makes them hard to understand them?

2. Would semantic versioning (SemVer) of our releases make it easier to understand our version numbers and what's behind them?

3. If we go with SemVer, we might need to start with version 3000.0.0 as we currently use 2022.x.x. Please share your thoughts about this approach and ideas for what number versioning would work best for you.

Hi!

The ListView is breaking my web application, and I cannot make head or tail of the reason:

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

NotSupportedException: "ClientTemplateId or ClientTemplateHandler" cannot be null or empty.

Kendo.Mvc.UI.ListView<T>.VerifySettings()

 

Also, you demos for the ListView are broken and the browser tab crashed after a while.

I need an urgent fix, as this is affecting the live application.

In our UI for ASP.NET Core R3 2020 (2020.3.915) release, the Column menu message of unsticking a column is "null".

This bug will be resolved in our next official release.

In the meantime, as a workaround, manually set the Unstick Column menu message:

.ColumnMenu(c => c.Messages(m => m.Unstick("Unstick Column")))

Hi, I'm migrating a view that was originally written using HTML Helpers in ASP.NET MVC, and I have now ported it to ASP.NET Core using Tag Helpers.

There is a grid with another grid as its detail. The inner grid makes extensive use of variable interpolation—for example, in the grid name, the ID of the container row is used. This works correctly with the HTML Helper approach:

// the template reference
.ClientDetailTemplateId("template-controls")

//the child grid definition, variable interpolation in the grid name and the toolbar, both work
<script id="template-controls" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<ChildItem>()
        .Name("GroupGrid_#=GroupID#")
        .ToolBar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Template(
                "<div class='edit-toolbar'>" 
                    +"<button onclick='editChild(" + Model.ID + ",0,#=GroupID#, this)'>Edit</button>" 
                + "</div>"
            );
        })
    )
</script>

 

But when this code is migrated to ASP.NET Core using Tag Helpers, the variable interpolation in the toolbar does not occur. I would like to know whether this is an error in my code or a feature that is no longer supported.

Here is the Tag Helper code:


//the template reference
<grid-detail-template>
    <kendo-grid name="GroupGrid_${data.GroupID}">
        <toolbar client-template-id="GroupGrid_Toolbar"></toolbar>
    </kendo-grid>
</grid-detail-template>


//the child grid definition, variable interpolation works in the grid name , but the interpolation in toolbar do not
<script id="GroupGrid_Toolbar" type="text/html">
    <div class='edit-toolbar'>
        <button onclick=' editChild(@Model.ID,0,#=GroupID#, this)'>Edit</button>
    </div>
</script>

The browser shows the following error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: GroupID is not defined

The offending line is:


with (data) {
        $kendoOutput = '\n\n        <div class=\'edit-toolbar\'>\n            <button onclick=\'editChild(11941,0,' + (GroupID) + ', this)\' \n                    >\n                ' + ($kendoHtmlEncode(data.GroupID)) + ' : ' + (GroupID) + ' Edit #\n            </button>\n </div>\n ';
    }
BTW similar result if instead of the client-template-id attribute of the toolbar, it is declared as:

<toolbar>
                                    <toolbar-button>
                                        <toolbar-command-template>
// the variable interpolation placed here
                                        </toolbar-command-template>
                                    </toolbar-button>
                                </toolbar>

I have a .net core 8 web application, that has a grid that loads data via Ajax.  When I edit a row, I'd like the `Contract` column to be a multi-select dropdown.  When I edit a row, the control is rendered, but there is no data in it.  I have set static data and the data does show up.

Here's my grid:

@(
Html.Kendo().Grid<ContractBenefitViewModel>()
    .Name("ContractBenefitGrid")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(c => c.Id).Hidden(true);
        columns.Bound(c => c.Contracts)
            .ClientTemplate("#= displayContracts(data) #")
            .EditorTemplateName("Contracts")
            .Width(400)
            .Filterable(false)
            .Sortable(false);
        columns.ForeignKey(c => c.BenefitId, (IEnumerable)ViewBag.Benefits, "Id", "DisplayName");
        columns.Bound(c => c.Gl)
            .Width(150);
        columns.Bound(c => c.Comments);
        columns.Bound(c => c.Active).Hidden(true);
        columns.Bound(c => c.Deleted).Hidden(true);
        columns.Command(command =>
            {
                command.Edit();
                command.Destroy();
            })
            .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align: center;" })
            .Width(200);
    })
    .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
    .ToolBar(toolbar =>
    {
        toolbar.Create();
    })
    .Pageable(pager =>
    {
        pager.Refresh(true);
        pager.PageSizes([10, 20, 50]);
    })
    .Sortable()
    .Filterable()
    .NoRecords()
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Batch(true)
        .PageSize(10)
        .ServerOperation(true)
        .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler").RequestEnd("onRequestEnd('staticNotifications')"))
        .Model(model =>
        {
            model.Id(p => p.Id);
            model.Field(p => p.Contracts).DefaultValue(ViewBag.ContractId as List<ContractModel> ?? new List<ContractModel>());
            model.Field(p => p.BenefitValue).DefaultValue(ViewBag.BenefitId);
            model.Field(p => p.Comments);
            model.Field(p => p.LastUpdatedBy).DefaultValue(ViewData[Literals.EmailKey]);
            model.Field(p => p.Active).Editable(false).DefaultValue(Literals.Yes);
            model.Field(p => p.Deleted).Editable(false).DefaultValue(Literals.No);
        })
        .Filter(f =>
        {
            f.Add(x => x.Active).IsEqualTo(Literals.Yes);
            f.Add(x => x.Deleted).IsEqualTo(Literals.No);
        })
        .Read(read => read.Action("GetContractBenefits", "ContractBenefit").Data("forgeryToken"))
        .Create(create => create.Action("CreateContractBenefits", "ContractBenefit").Data("forgeryToken"))
        .Update(update => update.Action("UpdateContractBenefits", "ContractBenefit").Data("forgeryToken"))
        .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("DeleteContractBenefits", "ContractBenefit").Data("forgeryToken"))
        .Sort(sort =>
        {
            sort.Add(x => x.BenefitValue);
        })
    )
)

Here's the JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
    function displayContracts(data) {
        window.console.log('displayContracts()');
        return $.map(data.Contracts, function (e) { return e.DisplayName; }).join(", ");
    }
</script>

Here's my model

public class ContractBenefitViewModel
{
    public long Id { get; set; }

    public long BenefitId { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Benefit")]
    public string BenefitValue
    {
        get
        {
            var sb = new StringBuilder();
            if (Benefit is not null)
            {
                sb.Append(Benefit.Value);
                if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Benefit.Gl))
                {
                    sb.Append(" (");
                    sb.Append(Benefit.Gl);
                    sb.Append(")");
                }
            }

            return sb.ToString();
        }
    }

    [Display(Name = "GL Code")]
    public string Gl => Benefit?.Gl ?? string.Empty;

    [Display(Name = "Comments")]
    [StringLength(ModelLiterals.CommentsLength)]
    [MaxLength(ModelLiterals.CommentsLength)]
    public string? Comments { get; set; }

    public string Active { get; set; } = ModelLiterals.Yes;
    public string Deleted { get; set; } = ModelLiterals.No;
    public string LastUpdatedBy { get; set; } = string.Empty;

    public BenefitModel? Benefit { get; set; } = null!;

    [UIHint("Contracts")]
    public IList<ContractModel> Contracts { get; set; } = new List<ContractModel>();
}

Here's my Editor Template (named Contracts.cshtml, in the EditorTemplates folder)

@model Lookups.ContractModel

<div style="width: 99%">
    @(Html.Kendo().MultiSelectFor(m => m)
    .DataValueField("Id")
    .DataTextField("DisplayName")
    .DownArrow()
    .AutoClose(false)
    .BindTo((IEnumerable<Lookups.ContractModel>)ViewData["contracts"])
        )
</div>

Here's the Index and Get data methods in my controller

[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> IndexAsync()
{
    Logger.LogDebug("{NameOf}()", nameof(IndexAsync));

    var contracts = await Client.GetContractsAsync();  //Client is my API client library - it fetches data from my API
    var benefits = await Client.GetBenefitsAsync();

    ViewBag.Contracts = contracts;
    ViewData["contracts"] = contracts;
    ViewBag.Benefits = benefitFinancialSupports;
    ViewBag.DefaultContractId = contracts?.FirstOrDefault()?.Id ?? -1;
    ViewBag.DefaultBenefitId = benefits?.FirstOrDefault()?.Id ?? -1;

    return View();
}

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<JsonResult> GetContractBenefitsAsync([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
{
    Logger.LogDebug("{NameOf}()", nameof(GetContractBenefitsAsync));
    var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    try
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid) return Json(InvalidModelStateMessage);
        var models = await Client.GetContractBenefitsAsync();
        var viewModels = models
            .Where(x => x is { Benefit: not null, Contract: not null })
            .GroupBy(x => x.BenefitId)
            .Select(g => new ContractBenefitViewModel
            {
                BenefitId = g.Key,
                Benefit = g.First().Benefit,
                Contracts = g.Select(x => x.Contract!).Distinct().ToList(),
                Id = g.First().Id,
                Comments = g.First().Comments,
                Active = g.First().Active,
                Deleted = g.First().Deleted,
                LastUpdatedBy = g.First().LastUpdatedBy
            })
            .ToList();

        return Json(await viewModels.ToDataSourceResultAsync(request));
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Logger.LogError(ex, "{NameOf}()", nameof(GetContractBenefitsAsync));
        return Json(new { success = false, message = ex.Message });
    }
    finally
    {
        stopwatch.Stop();
        Logger.LogInformation("**** {NameOf} took [{Elapsed}]", nameof(GetContractBenefitsAsync),
            stopwatch.Elapsed);
    }
}

 

I should mention that I store the data one ContractId with one BenefitId (in a Mapping table), so when I return data via the `Client.GetContractBenefitsAsync()` call, it returns a List of 1-to-1 records, and I group them so I get a single Benefit with all Contracts that are associated with it (hence the Linq GroupBy call to build my ViewModel).  This is how I want to present it to my users, so they can select as many Contracts as they want in the UI, and behind the scenes I'll turn into a 1:1 association.  I'm just having trouble getting my data (the Contracts Multi Select) to display data.  Am I missing something or is there another way to do this?

Good afternoon,

I have a FileManager that I want to perform server-side checks when directories or files are renamed or deleted. For instance, the directory has files that must be kept.

I was hoping to use the command event:

command - API Reference - Kendo UI FileManager - Kendo UI for jQuery

Which mentions:

  • Fired when server command is executed (copy, move, delete or rename).
  • The event is useful to get feedback when server commands has failed or succeeded and take additional actions based on the status.

How, in my delete or update server methods, do I force an e.status of fail, and e.response text explaining why the delete or update was rejected, so I can handle that in the client Command event?

I can see that I could throw an error and then capture that in the Error event, but is it possible to do similar with the Command event?  The scenario I'm describing isn't really an error, just some validation that failed.

Kind regards,

Richard

I am getting an error in telerik.ui.for.aspnet.core when I tried to built the code through Azure pipelines. This is the error:

 

D:\AgentAzServices\_work\9\s\NewHirePackage.csproj : error NU1301: The local source 'C:\Users\e245737\AppData\Roaming\Telerik\Updates\telerik.ui.for.aspnet.core.hotfix.2023.3.1114.commercial\wrappers\aspnetcore\Binaries\AspNet.Core' doesn't exist.

 

this is the second error, I am getting:

Error NU1301: The local source 'C:\Users\e245737\AppData\Roaming\Telerik\Updates\telerik.ui.for.aspnet.core.hotfix.2023.3.1114.commercial\' doesn't exist.

 

do I need to upgrade the "Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Core" to higher version? Please see the attached picture, I dont see any higher version.

 

Thank you.
