I need to have a dropdown list appear in each row of a grid that is "fed" from the DataSource of the parent grid.  I have a property in the grid datasource that is an object array.

Below is the grid datasource.  I have a KendoGrid with a template on the "programVersion" column that creates the drop down.  I'm failing adding the data to it.  I've created (stolen and modified) an example (http://jsbin.com/cacabi/1/) that does almost what I want (I've been googling for a couple of hours).  I've included my JSON Array in the datasource to show what I'm using.

I basically want the Category dropdown to be populated with the programVersion data (which is different for each row).

Any direction or guidance will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance

I would like to have some top level folders in the file and image browser inside the editor to be read-only not allowing a user to rename, delete, and add items to the root folder. I want a user to be able to navigate to some predefined folders under the root folder and to be able to modify the contents under them.  This isn't my structure but an example would be to have folders <website>/UserXFiles/HiRes & <website>/UserXFiles/thumbnail and only allow a user to be able to modify the contents in the HiRes and thumbnail folders but nothing above (still need the user to navigate to the different folders).  Is there functionality built into the browsers to achieve this?

Also is there a way to initialize the browsers to a directory:  If my structure was like the one above how would I start the user inside the Files folder?

Thank you,
Abram

Hi,

In the foreign key example the foreign key data used for the dropdown is obtained from the ViewData.

However, with a Web API binding ViewData is not accessible from the web api controller.

What is the best practice approach in this situation?

Thanks

I have a simple controller which sends colored and Name. I want to bind  to a kendoUI combobox.   I am putting my sample code with this.

Controller

namespace KendoMVCStudy.Controllers
{
public class GetColorController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /GetColor/

public ActionResult Index()
{
Color _color = new Color();
List<Color> _colors = new List<Color>();

_color.Colorid = 1;
_color.Name = "White";

_colors.Add(_color);

_color.Colorid = 2;
_color.Name = "Black";

_colors.Add(_color);

return Json(_colors, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

//return View(_colors);
}




}
}

Model



using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace KendoMVCStudy.Models
{
public class Color
{
public int Colorid { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
}

View

@model List<KendoMVCStudy.Models.Color>

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>


<div class="demo-section">
<h2>Products</h2>

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()
.Name("products")
.DataTextField("Name")
.DataValueField("Colorid")
.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:250px" })
.Filter("contains")
.AutoBind(true)
.MinLength(3)
.DataSource(source => {
source.Read(read =>
{
read.Action("Index", "GetColor");
})
.ServerFiltering(true);
})
)
</div>

So I have a situation where I am using asp.net MVC controllers in a web interface I'm working on.  

The way it's set up is such that the controller passes a model to the view which then has it defined like this: @model ExceptionReportDBModel.Contributor

ExceptionReportDBModel.Contributor is a class generated by EntityFramework.

The issue is, I can't find a way, using mvc wrapper functions, to bind a textbox or textlabel to the model.  I have only been able to find solutions using javascript, which presents a problem because I have not been able to figure out how to bind to the model provided by my asp.net mvc controller using javascript...

If someone know of a wrapper function for this, or if you know how to use javascript along with an mvc model passed from the controller, that would be quite helpful.

I am trying to send datepicker values back to server and bind to date objects in the controller.

this is what is being posted back
sort=&group=&filter=&FromDate=1%2F20%2F2014+12%3A00%3A00+AM&ToDate=4%2F19%2F2014+12%3A00%3A00+AM

here is my post

but in my controller the dates are simple #12:00.00#

Any ideas, thanks

Hi

I worked with Telerik.Web.MVC version 2012.3.1018.

I upgraded to Telerik.Web.MVC verison 2013.2.611.

Unfortunatlely my grid do not work with this new version.

It can’t find commands.custom().
It tell my, that it can't find this definition.

My code :

@(Html.Telerik().Grid<Mail>()
.Name("Grid")
.DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(c => c.ID))
.DataBinding(dataBinding =>
      dataBinding.Ajax()
      .Select("_Index", "Geschaeft")
)

.Columns(columns =>
 {
        columns.Command(commands =>
        {
            commands.Custom("editDetail")
            .ButtonType(type)
            .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "editDetail", @title = "Geschäft editieren" })
            .Text("edit")
            .DataRouteValues(route =>
             route.Add(o => o.GeschaeftID).RouteKey("ID"))
             .Ajax(false)
             .Action("Edit", "Geschaeft", (RouteValueDictionary)ViewBag.GridState);
          }).Width(38).Title("");
...
 
What can I do? 

Thank you for your assistance.

I have a page that has a grid and some filter fields (external from the grid).  The filtering gets applied to the grid in the JavaScript - which works fine.  I also have an export button that I need to export the data in my grid - since my grid does not contain all the data that my export needs, my thought was to pass the DataSourceRequest as a parameter to my Ajax call, select my data and then use the "toDataSourceResult()" as happens in my ajax read controller action. This is not working. 

I have the following code in my javascript function that builds my datasource request, and passes it in as a parameter, but my DataSourceRequest object in my controller action contains null values for filter, sort, etc.

How can I pass the datasource request as a parameter to my Ajax Controller action? I have attached a working sample project.

Hello,

I  have a grid that contains a check box for each row. A popup editor is displayed when multiple rows are selected. But when a change is made in the popup editor, one of the selected rows loses it's check box selection. My questions are:

1. How do I prevent the a row from being un-selected when a field is modified in the popup editor field?
2. How do I capture an event in the popup-editor window?

Here's is my grid setup:

Hi,
I have a multiselect that works very well:
I also have a grid with a select option that will call a js function; in this function I want to add the selected value from the grid to the select items in the multiselect, if it doesn't already exist. Then call the change event in the multiselect if anything new is added.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shehab
