A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type - and I did not include the 'circular reference'

I'm at a lost. I've attempted to run my "Batch editing" grid with MVC3 and I keep receiving this error:
"A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies.aspnet_Users_8928C46E971F379B4E2E99263A0AD4EE44DD31017D7C2242241BF00A73BA81B3'."

I've read other forums such as :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12845016/kendo-ui-invalidoperationexception-a-circular-reference-was-detected-while-se
http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/faq#how-do-i-avoid-circular-reference-exceptions?

I understand I can't reference a circular reference from my model in the controller or view, which I'm not and I keep receiving this error.

I'm also using Linq with the model first approach, but I do use a metadata model to add attributes to the models fields.
Here is some of my code.

Key cannot be null error on upgrade to the latest MVC wrappers

I just updated my solution to the latest release of Kendo and the MVC wrappers. Everything is working exactly as it did before except the tool tip which is now throwing the following error. Does anyone know why this has started and what the solution is? Included first is my code, and then the error thrown.

<div id="quick-menu">
<ul>
<li id="qm-progress">
<a href="#">@this.GetTermProvider().GetValue("PROGRESS_LEGEND")</a>
</li>
<li id="qm-status">
<a href="#">@this.GetTermProvider().GetValue("STATUS_LEGEND")</a>
</li>
<li id="qm-message">
<a href="#">@this.GetTermProvider().GetValue("MESSAGES")</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

<script id="qm-progress-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
@Html.Action("QuickMenuProgress", "Shared")
</script>

@(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
.For("#qm-progress")
.Filter("a")
.ContentTemplateId("qm-progress-template")
.Position(TooltipPosition.Top)

Uploading files and checking for file tampering

I know this may be outside the scope of things here.

I have a telerik Ajax.net website that is used in a similar way to the likes of wetransfer.com

after a a recent pen test the security guys were able to get around the filters in place and spoof some files onto the server and gain remote access.

Obviously not a good thing. So the site has been taken off line,

I was looking to upgrade the site using kendo and was wondering if you had any advice on how I can try and prevent this sort of tampering or point me in the right direction to try and secure the site.

The site is a great idea for helping transfer large files to groups of people and getting past email restrictions so any ideas would be greatly received.

Treeview checkboxes - Don't deselect parent when all child nodes are deselected

Hi

Is it possible to configure the Treeview checkboxes so that when a node's children are all deselected, the node is not deselected also? I need the CheckChildren functionality turned on so that children are automatically selected when their parent is. But I don't want the parent removed from the selection when its children are unchecked.

To illustrate I have set up a jsbin . I'd like to be able to select nodes a, b1 and b2. However b2 only shows checked when any of c1, c2 and c3 are checked. I can use CheckChildren(false) to allow selection of b1 and b2 individually, but I have much more data than this example so manually checking all the nodes would become too much for the user.

Here is how I am currently placing the treeview on the page (Model.Items is a list of TreeViewItemModel instances):

@Html.Kendo().TreeView().Name("treeview").BindTo(Model.Items).ExpandAll(true).Checkboxes(c => c
.Enabled(true)
.CheckChildren(true)
)

Any thoughts?

Applying the bootstrap theme to my grid breaks the styling in template

Hi,

I have a grid which is displaying a custom styled template looking like this with kendo default theme installed (See "fleetlist-kendo-default.PNG")
At this point the following is installed:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Kendo/kendo.common.min.css")">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Kendo/kendo.default.min.css")">

However, when I change the theme to Bootstrap so that it can match the rest of my Bootstrap-themed application (Bootstrap 3.x) the template and its styling seems to get overriden (See "fleetlist-kendo-bootstrap.PNG")
At this point the following is installed:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Kendo/kendo.common-bootstrap.min.css")">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Kendo/kendo.bootstrap.min.css")"/>

On the other hand, if I apply the flat theme, it works again.
What can I do? :)

Regards,
Nicklas

[Solved] Update MVC grid with new, different columns after dataSource.read update

On page load we build a grid based on a DataTable model, we have a for each loop to generate the columns. Then from a kendo dropdown list we select a new ID which on selection, fires the dataSource.read method, passing the new ID. This returns a different dataset with different columns. The grid refreshes and shows the correct number of items/rows but the old columns remain and the grid is empty. The grid is not displaying the new columns.

I have tried to destroy and empty the grid before dataSource.read but then get a dataSource is undefined console error. See setup code below:

Grid:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)

.Name("Grid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

foreach (System.Data.DataColumn column in Model.Columns)

{

columns.Bound(column.ColumnName).Hidden(column.ColumnName == "CustID").Title(column.ColumnName.ToString().Replace(" ", ""));

}

columns.Bound("CustID").Title("").ClientTemplate("<a href='/Customers/Customer/#: CustID #'>More Details</a>");

})

.Pageable()

.Sortable()

.Filterable()

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.PageSize(15)

.ServerOperation(false)

.Model(model =>

{

foreach (System.Data.DataColumn column in Model.Columns)

{

model.Field(column.ColumnName, column.DataType);

}

})

.Read(read => read.Action("CustomerDataRead", "Customers", new { _CustomerListID = 18 }))

)

The dropdown list select function:

function select(e) {

var dataItem = this.dataItem(e.item.index());

if (dataItem.CustomerListID == "") {dataItem.CustomerListID = -1}

//$('#Grid').data().kendoGrid.destroy();

//$('#Grid').empty();

$("#Grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read({ _CustomerListID: dataItem.CustomerListID});

}

In the select event above, I pass the ID to the read method.

The grid refreshes, but the old columns do not update but the number of items returns is correct. See this screenshot:
http://prntscr.com/26yio5

If the dataset returned by dataSource.read has the same columns as the original grid, the grid refreshes OK and the data is displayed.

If I destroy and empty the grid, the dataSource.read method fails:
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dataSource' of undefined "

How to update the grid with new columns in each subsequent dataSource.read

Row selection after refreshing grid

Hello,

I have Kendo selectable Grid being created in razor.
After row is selected user can delete the selected row. But since the grid has multiple pages, after deletion - reloading contents of data I need the selection to be put on the next row, preserving the current page number...

How can I achieve that?

Thank you for your prompt answer.

Scheduler firing twice

When I have the data source CRUD set in the Razor version of the Scheduler control AND I define events for Save and Remove the call to the Read and Destroy calls are duplicated.

Is this the correct behavior?

01.<input type="hidden" id="scheduleID" required data-required-msg="Please select a schedule."/>

02.

03.@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<DOTTReportsWebViewer.Models.TaskViewModel>()

04. .Name("scheduler")

05. .Editable(e=>e

06. .Confirmation(false)

07. .Update(false)

08. .Resize(false)

09. )

10. .Date(DateTime.Now)

11. .StartTime(new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Hour, 00, 00))

12. .Views(views =>

13. {

14. views.DayView();

15. views.WeekView(weekView => weekView.Selected(true));

16. views.MonthView();

17. views.AgendaView();

18. })

19. .Timezone("Etc/UTC")

20. .DataSource(d => d

21. .Model(m => {

22. m.Id(f => f.TaskID);

23. m.Field(f => f.OwnerID).DefaultValue(1);

24. })

25.

26. .Read("Tasks_Read", "Subscriptions")

27. .Create("Tasks_Create", "Subscriptions")

28. .Destroy("Tasks_Destroy", "Subscriptions")

29. .Update("Tasks_Update", "Subscriptions")

30.

31. )

32. .Events(events => events

33. .Save("scheduler_save")

34. .Remove("scheduler_remove")

35. )

36.

37.

38.)

39.

40.

41.<script type="text/javascript">

42.

43. function scheduler_save(e) {

44.

45. var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");

46.

47. if ($("#scheduleID").val() != '') {

48. scheduler.removeEvent($("#scheduleID").val());

49. }

50. $("#scheduleID").val(e.event.uid);

51. }

52.

53. function scheduler_remove(e) {

54. $("#scheduleID").val('');

55.

56. }

57.

58.</script>

Setting the default page number in grid

Hi,

I’ve following method which I’m using to build data source
for Kendo UI grid. I want to set default page number like default page size but
I can’t see an option in DataSourceBuilder.

Any idea?

public static Action<DataSourceBuilder<T>>DataSourcer<T>(string action, string controller, int total, string area, string jsParamFuncName = "",
int? defaultPageSize = null)
where T : class
{
if
(!defaultPageSize.HasValue)
defaultPageSize = int.Parse(ApplicationConfigurationDataHelper.GetByKey(ApplicationConfigurationConstants.DefaultPageSize).Value);

return
dataSource => dataSource.Ajax().Read(read => {
read.Action(action,
controller, new { area });
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(jsParamFuncName))
{
      read.Data(d => jsParamFuncName);
}
}) .Total(total)
.PageSize(defaultPageSize.Value)
.Events(e => e.Change(JsFunctionNameConstants.EmptyGridMessage));
}
