Problem:
After enabling Content Security Policy (CSP), Kendo DropDownLists inside a PanelBar fail to initialize. On page load:
• The DropDownList renders as a plain input box.
• PanelBar items appear empty, and data binding does not happen.
• JavaScript access to the DDL fails.

Scenario:
ASP.NET MVC Razor.
• Dropdown Lists inside PanelBar content templates.
• Worked fine before CSP; now initialization and binding fail.

 

Expected Behavior:
• DDL should initialize and bind data on content load even with CSP.
• PanelBar items should display properly.

 

Example:

@(
                     Html.Kendo().PanelBar()
                     .Name("panelbar")
                     .ExpandMode(PanelBarExpandMode.Multiple)
                     .Items(panelbar =>
                     {
                         panelbar.Add().Text("Note : Please fill all the input")
                         .Content(@<text>
        @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
                                            .Name("dropdown")
                                            .OptionLabel("Please Select")
                                            .OptionLabelTemplate("<span style='color:dimgrey;font-size:10px;font-weight:bold'>Please Select</span>")
                                            .DataValueField("id")
                                            .DataTextField("Text")
                                            .Template("#:id # - #:datacolumn # - #:datecolumn #")
.DataSource(source=>{source.Read(read=>{read.Action("action","controller");});})
.Events(e=>{e.Select("onselect");})
                                            )
   </text>
   );

 

Thanks,

Anupriya. R

Hi,

I am using Web app with mvc. We are using Deferred Script File to remediate CSP (content security policy). 

For that reason instead of Client Template i am using Client Template Handler for one of the column which is a dropdownlist.

Whenever Grid is loaded with data, I can see the selected dropdown values in the grid but when i try to update the dropdown value

its opening as a text box and showing value as [object object].

 

  columns.Bound(p => p.Studendetails).ClientTemplateHandler("getname") 

function getname(data) {
     return data.Studendetails ? data.Studendetails.Name : '';
 }

Good morning,
i am using MVC.ASP net in my project and i'm trying to send the DataSourceRequest to a service , via rabbitmq.

the message should contains all the request filters set in the ui in order to create an excel report. i have tried to use the System.Text.Json serialization but it's not working properly. it serializes only the first level props.
i have found a ".ToJson" extension  but it's returning a Dictionary<string, object>, not usefule here.

can you suggest how to serialize the DataSourceRequest in Json format? with all nested and recursive properties?

the filters can be about dates, strings, combobox, and so on

thanks in advance

Hi,

We are using Kendo controls for MVC. There was a security scan done in our application, it capture few of the security issues.

We are able to fix all of the security issues except one.

CWE 829 - The application contains unsafe Content-Security-Policy (CSP) directives that could allow malicious script code to be included on the page.

So, as a result we have removed all the custom inline javascript and css to an external files and refer those external .js and .css files in our .cshtml page.

But when we use any of the Kendo controls like Kendo grid or Kendo calendar then in the runtime it create some inline scripts and we are getting application contains unsafe Content-Security-Policy (CSP) directives.

How to bypass those runtime inline scripts created by Kendo controls so that we don't get unsafe Content-Security-Policy (CSP) directives

during the security scan of the application.

Please let me know if you need any more information on this.

am using Kendo UI with Razor as the frontend and .NET Framework 4.8.1 as the backend.
I have the following code, but it does not initially display "Switzerland".
It is present in the list, but I do not want to select it manually.
I want it to be preselected from the start. Could you please help me?


@model int?

@{
    var initialItems = new List<SelectListItem>()
{
        new SelectListItem{ Text = "Schweiz", Value = "1" }
    };
}

<div class="k-floating-label-container mb-3">
    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(x => x)
        .DataTextField("Text")
        .DataValueField("Value")
        .AutoBind(false)
        .BindTo(initialItems)
        .Value(Model?.ToString())
        .Events(e => e.Open("onDropDownOpen"))
        .Deferred()
    )
    @Html.LabelFor(x => x, new { @class = "k-label k-input-label" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x)
</div>

<script>function onDropDownOpen(e) {
    var dropdown = $("#Store_DefaultLanguageId").data("kendoDropDownList");

    if (dropdown.dataSource.total() === 1) { 
        dropdown.setDataSource(new kendo.data.DataSource({
            transport: {
                read: {
                    url: "/Language/LanguageList",
                    dataType: "json",
                }
            },
            serverFiltering: true
        }));
    }
}
</script>

I have a grid popup edit template that includes a Kendo dropdown.  I need to pass a model property value as the parameter to the Read() method of the dropdown.  But the model is null when the Read() method gets called.   So the value is always 0.  

I've defined the Field in the parent grid.  I even added it as a column too.  Model.ProductId is always 0.

How do I pass a value from the popup editor model to the controller for the dropdown?

                    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
                        .Name("WarehouseId")
                        .OptionLabel("Select a warehouse...")
                        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%" })
                        .DataTextField("Text")
                        .DataValueField("Value")
                        .Value("-1")
                        .DataSource(source =>
                        {
                            source.Read(read =>
                            {
                                read.Action("Inventory_Warehouse_Read", "Purchasing", new { productId = @Model.ProductId});
                            });
                        })
                        .Height(400)
                        )

Hello,

I am currently working with a Kendo Grid in my ASP.NET MVC application, specifically with a foreign key column that retrieves its data from a separate data source. I have enabled filtering on this grid, and I would like to implement a "contains" filter for a foreign key column, specifically for the "Locations" column.

Here’s the relevant portion of my Kendo Grid configuration:
            @(
                Html.Kendo().Grid<FMS_Cloud_CoreMVC.ViewModels.EnergyAdmin>()
                            .Name("EAData")
                            .Filterable()
                            .Columns(
                            
                            columns =>
                            {
                                columns.ForeignKey(p => p.CompLocID, ds => ds.Read("GetLocations", "EnergyAdmin"), "CompLocID", "CompLocString")
                                .Title("Locations").Width(300)
                                .Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell =>
                                    cell.Operator("contains").SuggestionOperator(FilterType.Contains)));





                    columns.ForeignKey( p => p.Provider, ds => ds.Read( "GetEnergyProviders", "EnergyAdmin"), "DDLID", "ProviderName")
                    .Title("Provider").Width(150) ;
                               
                    columns.Bound(p => p.NMI).Width(150);
                    columns.Bound(p => p.WWDeviceId).Width(150);
                   

                    columns.Command(command => { command.Edit().Text(" "); command.Destroy().Text(" "); }).Width(200);
                })
                .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
                .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
                .Pageable()
                .Sortable()
                .Scrollable()
                .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:730px;" })
                .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .PageSize(20)
                .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
                .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.EnergyAdminId))
                .Create(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Create", "EnergyAdmin"))
                    .Read(read => read.Action("EditingInline_Read", "EnergyAdmin").Data("myCustomReadParam"))
                .Update(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Update", "EnergyAdmin"))
                .Destroy(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "EnergyAdmin"))
                )
                )





While the "contains" filter works as expected with a simple text column, I would like to maintain the dropdown functionality for the foreign key column. Is there a way to achieve a "contains" filter on a foreign key column while still allowing users to select from the dropdown options?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or examples you can provide.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

After upgrading Kendo MVC from v2021.2.616 to v2024.2.514 (KendoUIProfessional), the dropdownlist "SeriesType" on the grid is not firing the onChange event anymore. I saw an error message in the browser console.

Can you guys suggest a migration solution for it? Thanks!

Browser console error:

cshtml

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MySeriesModel>().Name("drpSeries")
              .Columns(column =>
              {
                  column.Bound(model => model.SeriesName).HtmlAttributes(new { style = "font-weight: bold" }).Title("No.").Width(40);
