How to set MaxLength of input in child grid (.net core)?

Hello, I am looking to limit the length of "Comment" to 1000 characters. Adding custom style via HtmlAttributes does not apply it to the input attributes and I am unsure how. Any insight would be great.

                                    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<SomeUI.Areas.Models.SomeCommentsModel>()
                                     .Name("SomeCommentsGrid_#=PONum#_#=lineNum#") 
                                      .Columns(columns =>
                                      {
                                          columns.Bound(p => p.comment).Title("Comment").Width(100);
                                          columns.Bound(p => p.updatedBy).Title("Updated By").Width(15).Editable("readOnlyCol");
                                          columns.Bound(p => p.lastUpdated).Title("Last Updated").Width(25).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Editable("readOnlyCol");
                                      })
                                      .ToolBar(toolbar => {
                                          toolbar.Create();
                                          
                                      })
                                      .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
                                      .Selectable(selectable => selectable
                                        .Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single))
                                      .Events(ev => ev.Change("onChange"))
                                      .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                                        .Ajax()
                                        .Read(read => read.Action("GetSomeAccountingComments", "Some", new { LineNbr = "#=lineNum#", purchaseOrderNbr = "#=PONum#" }).Data("GetFacilityCode"))
                                        .Sort(sort => sort.Add("lastUpdated").Descending())
                                        .PageSize(10)
                                        )
                                        .Sortable()
                                        .Pageable()
                                        .Width(1000)
                                        .ToClientTemplate())

Mail merge in ASP .net core 5

Hello Team,

We want to purchase Telerik UI for the asp.net core 5 controls license before purchase it, we want to make sure asp.net 5 core Telerik controls support mail merge functionality in the .net 5 projects as per our expectation.

We want to implement Mail Merge functionality in our asp.net core 5 projects. We have checked the WPF mail merge demo and it is suited for our .net 5 project. We want the same mail merge function buttons in the .net 5 UI which are available in the WPF Mail Merge demo. For e.g. Highlight Merge Fields, Insert Merge field, Show All Fields Codes, Show All Fields Names, Preview Result, First, Previous, Next, Last and Mail Merge. Please find the attached image which we want in our asp.net 5 core project.

Can you please provide us a sample demo in .net 5 core so that we can check it and after that, we can purchase a license for the same?

We want to Preview the result before Mail Merge. We also want to edit the Mail Merge Template and Save it. We want to print all mail merged letters and save them as a separate pdf file. For e.g. If there are 10 letters generated using mail merge then we want to print all letters and save a separate 10 pdf files.

Let us know your thoughts on what we can achieve in .Net core Mail Merge as compared to WPF Mail Merge Demo.

Use editor template handler with tag helper

When using clasic ASP.NET Core approach user can define custom editor template like this:

https://100001.link/ https://192168101.dev/ https://1921681254.link/

f.Add(p=>p.CategoryID).Label("Category").DefaultValue(1).EditorTemplateHandler("categoryDropDownEditor");function categoryDropDownEditor(container, options) {
        $('<input data-bind="value: value" name="' + options.field + '"/>')
            .appendTo(container)
            .kendoDropDownList({
                dataTextField: "CategoryName",
                dataValueField: "CategoryID",
                dataSource: {
                    type: "odata",
                    transport: {
                        read: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Categories"
                    }
                }
            });
    }
 
Is this possible to achieve using Tag helpers and is there any way to pass the parameter/s to the categoryDropDownEditor function?

Grid issue with GroupPaging and GroupHeader Aggregate

Hi there,

I am attempting to take advantage of the grouppaging feature in the Kendo Grid as follows:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.SearchResults)
.Name("SearchResultGrid")
.Groupable()
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.FeatureId).Title("Feature ID");
columns.Bound(p => p.FeatureName).Title("Feature name");
columns.Bound(p => p.DesignationTypeLkId).Title("Designation type");
columns.Bound(p => p.FeatureTypeName).Title("Feature type").ClientGroupHeaderTemplate("#= value # (Count: #= count#)");
columns.Bound(p => p.FeatureInstanceCount).Title("# of instances").ClientGroupHeaderColumnTemplate("Sum: #=sum#");
})
.Sortable()
.Pageable(p => p.PageSizes(true).Enabled(true))
.Pageable(pager => pager.PageSizes(new[] { 20, 50, 100 }))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.GroupPaging(true)
.PageSize(20)
.ServerOperation(false)
.Aggregates(aggregates =>
{
aggregates.Add(p => p.FeatureTypeName).Count();
aggregates.Add(p => p.FeatureInstanceCount).Sum();
})
)
)

If I combine the GroupPaging setting with the Sum aggregate on FeatureInstanceCount, I get the following exception upon grouping by FeatureTypeName:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'hasSubgroups')
at init.groupCount (kendo.all.min.js:28)
at init._calculateGroupsTotal (kendo.all.min.js:28)
at init.collapseGroup (kendo.all.min.js:64)
at HTMLAnchorElement.t._groupableClickHandler.t._groupableClickHandler (kendo.all.min.js:61)
at HTMLTableElement.dispatch (jquery.js:5429)
at HTMLTableElement.elemData.handle (jquery.js:5233)

Am I trying to do something unsupported here?

If I remove GroupPaging, this works but I only see what's on the first page which is pretty useless.

kendo.culture("de-De") does not change culture

Hello,

I run into a problem I can't figure out what's wrong. I have a _layout with:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>@ViewData["Title"] - I18n test</title>
    @{ var kendoVersion = "2021.1.119";}
    <link href="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/styles/kendo.common-material.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/styles/kendo.mobile.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/styles/kendo.material.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/js/jszip.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/@kendoVersion/js/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/js/site.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
    <script src="~/lib/kendo-ui/js/cultures/kendo.culture.de-De.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <script>
        kendo.culture("de-De");
        console.log("(1) should be de-DE: " + kendo.culture().name);
    </script>
    <div class="container">
        <main role="main" class="pb-3">
            @RenderBody()
        </main>
    </div>
    <footer class="border-top footer text-muted">
        <div class="container">
        </div>
    </footer>
    @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>

The output on console is "... en-US".

The language file is stored in:

.........\wwwroot\lib\kendo-ui\js\cultures

06.09.2021  15:29             5.442 kendo.culture.de-DE.min.js
16.06.2021  03:22             8.112 kendo.culture.de-DE.min.js.map

But in the cshtml file this works:

            items.Add()
                .Field(f => f.DatumVon)
                .Editor(e => e.DatePicker()
                                .Culture("de-DE"))

The display of the names of month and everything works. If I remove the Culture() command, the DatePicker shows the US Style.

I tried this in serveral versions. Result allways the same.

Responsive Panel (Core)

I'm new to telerik and MVC. I come from a webforms background.

I wanted to start out with a website that has a sidebar on the left and a menu across the top. The Responsive Panel seems to fit the bill. I'm accustomed to creating a master page in webforms. How do I create something similar to a master page in a core/MVC website where when I make a selection from the item list in the left side bar, it updates the content on the right (iframe?)

How do you make a cell/dataitem fully dirty?

Hello everyone

I have the following bound column set up:

  columns.Bound(site => site.SiteHasBin).ClientTemplate("#=dirtyField(data,'SiteHasBin')# #:SiteHasBin#").ClientHeaderTemplate("<a class='k-link'>Bin Present? - Select all</><input style='margin-left:10px;' id='checkAll' type='checkbox' onclick='checkAll(this)' />").Sortable(false);

With the associated js:

function dirtyField(data, fieldName) {
    if (data.dirty && data.dirtyFields[fieldName]) {
        return "<span class='k-dirty'></span>"
    }
    else {
        return "";
    }
}


function checkAll(input) {
    var grid = $("#gridBins").data("kendoGrid");
    var items = grid.items();
    items.each(function () {
        var dataItem = grid.dataItem(this);
          if (dataItem.SiteHasBin != input.checked) {
              dataItem.SiteHasBin = input.checked;
        }
        dataItem.dirty = true;
    })
    grid.saveChanges();
    grid.dataSource.sync();
}
