My solution layout follows this:

  • Data - EF entities and DB Context
  • Services - Service objects that interact with the database (references the Data project directly)
  • Web - Front end (controllers and views) that use the Services project to push/pull data and reflect it back to the user

I recently discovered the ExpressionBuilder to handle grid filtering and convert it to LINQ to use in my Service objects to (efficiently) query the database (pushes the filter down to the DB query) so only a limited number of records are returned (thus, loaded into memory) instead of loading all records and then filtering them in memory.

My question, is there a similar object for Sorting functionality?  So it can convert my Grid Sort (from the DataSourceRequest object) into a LINQ OrderBy expression and apply it against my entity type so it can be passed into the DB query?  Or am I stuck writing my own?

I'm trying to enable rapid entry using mostly just the keyboard using a DateTimePicker field.  The behavior is seeking to minimize the number of keystrokes to enter a date and time "close" to today. With a full date and time, they would need to type 14 keystrokes minimum based on the formats below.

The users would like to do this:

  1. Alt-down to open date picker on today (1 keystroke)
  2. Use arrow keys to find the right date (1-4 keystrokes avg)
  3. Hit enter to close the date picker -- (this is where the problem starts) (1 keystroke)
  4. Type in 4 numbers to represent time. (4 keystrokes)
  5. Hit enter - done (would go to the next field ideally - could hit tab as alternative)

Generally 9 keystrokes (sometimes less) instead of 14 every time.

The code below is what I've been trying to get to work.  It can run in the REPL playground - and I'm happy to use any of the events to achieve the desired behavior.  I haven't been able to get the above set of keystrokes to work with any combination of code / etc that I've tried so far.

Any chance you could help?  I think the "time" characters need to be highlighted and the time picker needs to be closed for the "4 number keys and tab/enter" to be accepted as time entry.  If the time picker is open and the user types 1345 (for example) and then tab or enter it just goes back to 00:00.

Any help / guidance is appreciated.  I had this working with an older version of kendo using the logic below (thanks for your help on that too!) but the new version of ASP.NET Core controls is giving me some trouble achieving it.

Thanks in advance. (i've tried other things than just the below - couldn't get anything to work the way I wanted)

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI

    @(Html.Kendo().DateTimePicker()
            .Name("DateTimeSampled")
            .Format("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm")
            .ParseFormats(new[] { "MM/dd/yyyy HH mm", "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm", "MM/dd/yyyy HHmm"})
            .TimeFormat("HH:mm")
            .Events(e =>
            {
                  e.Change("change").Open("open").Close("close");
            })
    )

<script>
    function open(e) {
        console.log("Open :: " + e.view + "-view");
    }

    function close(e) {
        console.log("Close :: " + e.view + "-view");
    }

    function change(e) {
        console.log("Change :: " + kendo.toString(this.value(), 'g'));
        if (e.view == "date") {
           //var picker = e.sender.data("kendoDateTimePicker");
           var picker = $("#DateTimeSampled").data("kendoDateTimePicker");
           console.log(picker);
           //picker.close();
           //e.sender.close();
           var info = kendo.caret(e.sender.element);
           kendo.caret(e.sender.element, info[0] - 5, info[1]); 
        }
    }
</script>

I created a custom download with DateRangePicker checked. I have a page with this code:

@(Html.Kendo().DateRangePicker()
    .Name("startEnd")
    .Messages(m => m.StartLabel("Start").EndLabel("End"))
)

When the page loads there is a JavaScript error in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: e._startInput.kendoDateInput is not a function

I created another custom download with DateInput and DateRangePicker checked.

When the page loads there is a different JavaScript error in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: o is not a constructor

I thought the custom download page handled the dependencies. Are there other DateRangePicker dependencies that I need to check?

Thanks

I am in the Process of updating to the latest Kendo version in our Asp core project.
Our previous version was 2023.1.117. I wanted to update to 2023.2.829. 
Previosly all grid Command buttons where just the default grey in the bootstrap 4 theme.
Now the edit buttons have the primary style.
Since our product allows the user to change some colors the blue doesnt fit all the time.
Is there a way to change the primary styling at runtime?`
Maybe globally, because some other smaller compoents have the primary too but those blue accents where not that intrusive.

Hi,

I fail to figure out a problem

I have a Kendo Grid, that has a ClientDetailTemplate that creates a Tab Strip for each row, in each Tab Strip Item there is a Child Grid
Now I added a new Tab Strip Item with a new Child Grid, but everytime I edit a Row, it sends an Insert Action to the Controller instead of an Edit Action

If I debug the base controller, the model that is send to the Insert Action in the controller is valid

With all other Grids (in the other Tab Strip Items) it seems to work just fine (Edit leads to Update Action)
If I remove the Action for Insert/Create in the Child Grid it does not send any Action to the Controller

Is there a bug in my code? I just can't find out why it behaves like this.
I tried to search for it in the forum, but was not able to find something.

The Code is:
(Most columns removed)
(The grid that calls Insert instead of Update action is the first in the script tag, the second grid in the script component is for reference, where it works as expected)

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<CCPartnerTabDialogDto>()
    .Name("Grid_CCPartnerTabDialog")

    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(c => c.FILIALID).Title("Fields").Width(200);
    })
    .DataSource(datasource => datasource
        .Ajax()
        .Read(read => read.Action("Read", "CCPartnerTabDialog"))

        .Filter(f => f.Add(val => val.RCDSTS).IsEqualTo(" "))

        .PageSize(30))

        }

    }
}

Any help appreciated

 

EDIT:

Huh, I just revisited my code and found the problem

1. The problem happens in hierarchical sub grids, because if i initialize the grids I set the DefaultValue of the id field to my parent id via js event like

    

// get detailGrids_subSelect

$.each(detailGrids_subSelect, function (index, value) { var tmp = value.getKendoGrid(); tmp.setOptions({ dataSource: { schema: { model: { fields: { PID: { defaultValue: e.data.PID } } } } } }) })

2. In another Grid where the id field is string i can just set it like this in datasource.model:

.Model(model =>
{
  model.Id(p => p.ALIASQLF);
  model.Id(p => p.ALIASVAL);
  model.Field(f => f.ALIASQLF).DefaultValue("#=ALIASQLF#");
})

Sadly the id field is a decimal and so i can not use the second approach, because it only allows string

Funny, that it works in the second part just fine, but in the first it recognizes, that the default value is equal to the id and then fires an insert instead of an update, if I exclude the grid in the first approach the update works as expected

But I will just remove the defaultValue in the first approach and do a custom create function where i set the parent id in the function or something like this

Hi, I have this Grid which uses Custom Binding for manual skip and take on the server.

After successful Read of data, my problem now is the Search and Filtering feature is now working.

 

 

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyWebApp.Web.Models.ViewModel>()
        .Name("grid")
        .EnableCustomBinding(true)
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(p => p.Sorting).Width(100).Filterable(false);
            columns.Bound(p => p.Code).Width(200).Filterable(true);
            columns.Bound(p => p.Description).Filterable(true);
        })
        .ToolBar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Search();
        })
        .Filterable()
        .Pageable()
        .Sortable()
        .Scrollable(scr => scr.Height(550))
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
            .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.Id))
            .Read("gridDataSource", "Home")
        )
)

Good day Telerik Community.

Just recently our team started migrating most of our products to .NET 8 to align ourselves with the new release. However, when installing the updated Microsoft packages (or when trying to update ourselves to the new releases of Telerik), there seems to be a package conflict between Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools and Telerik's UI For Asp.Net Core. Both packages use Microsoft.CodeAnalysis (the latter internally) but with different versions (4.5.0 or higher and 4.4.0 respectively).

Here's the error:
NU1107: Version conflict detected for Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces. Install/reference Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces 4.5.0 directly to project projectname to resolve this issue. 

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools 8.0.0 -> Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design 8.0.0 -> Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces (>= 4.5.0) 

Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Core 2023.3.1129-Internal -> Microsoft.CodeAnalysis 4.4.0 -> Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces (= 4.4.0).


Both Telerik's latest releases (2023.3.1010 and
2023.3.1114) do not address or resolve this issue, and i didn't see a lot of post regarding it either (I've only found one single post. I'm linking it below for those interested)
Since that post's last message is dated more than a month ago, i'm asking if a solution was actually found or we just have to wait for the next stable release from Telerik (we've also tried using even the pre-release version, but nothing changed)

Hi!

I've stumbled upon an issue with positioning of resize handlers for an image placed inside a table.
The resize handlers appears above the table altogether.

Steps to replicate:

Expected behaviour:

  • Select image
  • Resize handlers appear along the edge of the image

I have replicated the same problem in Chrome, Edge, Opera and Firefox.

See attached image for more details.

 

Is this something you are looking into, or should i try to make my own fix?
If you are looking into this, when could I expect a possible fix?

Kindest regards,
Tobias Nordby

I am trying to get the export PDF of my grids to have the heads repeated on each page. Following the awful documentation I have been unable to get it to work. Some of the other functions work and others are ignored, however I'm only concerned about the headers. 

Here is my grid code:

		@(Html.Kendo().Grid<TheGridName>()
				.Name("mainGrid")
				.HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "gridHeight"})
				.Columns(col =>
				{
					col.Bound(c => c.col1).Title("Test 1");
					col.Bound(c => c.col2).Title("Test 2");
					col.Bound(c => c.col3).Title("Test 3");
					col.Bound(c => c.col4).Title("Test 4");
					col.Bound(c => c.col5).Title("Test 5");
					col.Bound(c => c.col6).Title("Test 6").;
				})
				.ToolBar(toolbar =>
				{
					toolbar.Excel();
					toolbar.Pdf();
				})
				.Pdf(pdf => pdf
					.AllPages(true)
					.AvoidLinks(false)
					.PaperSize("8in" , "11.5in")
					.Margin("2cm", "1cm", "1cm", "1cm")
					.Landscape(true)
					.Scale(0.8)
					.RepeatHeaders(true)
					.FileName("Kendo UI Grid Export.pdf")
					.ProxyURL(Url.Action("Pdf_Export_Save", "Grid"))
				)
				.Sortable()
				.Scrollable()
				.Filterable()
				.Resizable(r => r.Columns(true))
				.Reorderable(r => r.Columns(true))
				.Excel(excel => excel
				.FileName("test.xlsx"))
				.Events(x =>
				{
					x.ExcelExport("excelExport");
				})
				.ColumnMenu()
				.DataSource(ds => ds.Ajax()
				.Read(r => r.Url($"?handler=Read").Data("dataFunction"))
				.ServerOperation(false)
				))
Nothing fancy, just basic out of the box stuff. 

My Kendo and other important includes:
<script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2023.1.314/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2023.1.314/js/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jszip/3.10.1/jszip.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pako/2.1.0/pako.min.js"></script>

I'm guessing, like a lot of other features, this doesn't work in ASP.NET Core and this is some kind of copy paste error on Telerik's part and this only works in the jQuery version or something.

I have a breadcrumb control with 4 items, but the 2nd item is not shown (set to display: none). I saw in another forum post that some items will not be displayed if there is not enough room but that's not the case here. It's inside <ul class="navbar-nav flex-grow-1">

Also, I noticed that press F12 to open developer tools causes one of the items to disappear. Closing developer tools does not bring it back.

How can I ensure that all breadcrumb items are displayed?

Thanks
