Hi,
my company purchased Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC, and i'm trying to use this ToDataSourceResult() extension method in order to make the paging on server for the grid just like the example on the site ,but i cannot find the kendo.UI.extensions namespace,or at least i installed the kendo extensions for VS and no such namespace,only Kendo.MVC.dll ,also i downloaded the telerik extensions for asp.net mvc,but there is no such method in \Extensions directory. What should i have to do in order to use this method?

thanks in advanced.

ListView on Change, get "primary key" for selected item

I have a list view that has a change event. When an item in my list view is selected how can I get the "key" that i set for the item instead of the text displayed?

<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="ItemTemplate">

<div style="margin:5px;">

#:ItemNo# - #:Description#<br />

</div>

</script>

<%: Html.Kendo().ListView<ItemList>()

.Name("Items")<br> .TagName("div"

.

DataSource(ds => 

     ds.Read(read => read.Action("ItemListRead", "Home"))

       .Model(m => m.Id(i => i.ItemKey)))

.ClientTemplateId("ProjectItemTemplate")

.Selectable(s => s.Mode(ListViewSelectionMode.Single))

.Events(events => events.Change("onChange"))

%>

<script type="text/javascript">

function onProjectItemChange(e) {

var selected = $.map(this.select(), function (item) {

return $(item).text();

});

}

</script>

[Solved] Issue with recurring events in different time zones.

I have a scheduler control on a page.

Html.Kendo().Scheduler<TaskViewModel>()

.Name("MyScheduler")

.Date(DateTime.Now)

.Height(600)

.Views(views =>

{

views.DayView();

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

})

.DataSource(dataSource =>

dataSource.Model(m =>

{

m.Id(o => o.Id);

})

.ServerOperation(true)

.Read(read => read.Action("ReadSchedules", "Scheduler"))

)

.Editable(false)

Nothing fancy, For the purpose of testing out the control, i'm using the TaskViewModel from the example project. At my company we have people in India who will create recurring schedules on this calendar. When I save the schedule's date/time, i'm storing it as a UTC value (just like your example project). The problem occurs when a user here in the U.S. (Central Standard Time) views a recurring (weekly with specified days) schedule. India would create a 9:30 AM IST, recurring every Tuesday & Thursday and the duration is for 2 hours. When an Indian user reads the data back, the scheduler displays it just fine. When a user in the U.S. (CST) views it, we should expect to see a recurring meeting at 11:00 PM CST on Monday and Wednesday. Instead, the meeting is showing up at 11:00 PM CST on Tuesday and Thursday. Not only is it showing up on the wrong day, but the event shows up on the scheduler as if the duration of the meeting as zero.

I also noticed something else, when I save the schedule, I am able to save the StartTimezone and EndTimezone to the database, however, these fields are not members of the ISchedulerEvent interface. The scheduler control seems to lose these values when it is repopulated with data. How is the client control supposed to know how to properly convert from one timezone to another without that information?

AJAX MVC paging is display data instead of binding to the grid.

I am having all kinds of issues with the MVC Grid control.

When I try and page to the next page in the grid I get the raw data instead of the HTML page with the grid displayed..See attachment.

Second, I cannot, for the life of me, get the filtering nor the grouping function to work. When I click the filter icon, nothing happens.

I haven't even got to ALL of the CRUD functionality. This is so frustrating.

I am using the newest release of the Kendo UI toolset and Entity Framework 5. I have created the model from the EDMX.

Please help!

Dynamic body width based on grid width

As the subject suggests I'm attempting to alter body width to match the width of the grid in cases where the grid ends up bigger than the body. I'm attempting to do that by wiring up the databound event of the grid and then setting the width of the body. However, the grid's width is returning smaller than it actually is so the body is still left behind.

For example, I have a min-width set on the body element in css. In this case it's 1100px. The grid is reporting its width as smaller than that min-width (1088), yet the grid goes well past that width on the screen. Here is the javascript I am trying to use to accomplish this. Any suggestions?

$(function () {

var grid = $(gridNameForEditors).data("kendoGrid");

grid.bind("dataBound", function () {

var grid2 = $(gridNameForEditors);

alert(grid2.width());

document.body.style.width = grid2.width() + "px";

});

})

[Solved] Grid inside BeginForm posts to the wrong action when deleting a row

Having the following code (stripped down version):

@using (Html.BeginForm(@"Store", @"Admin", FormMethod.Post))

{

@(Html.Kendo().Grid((IEnumerable<MyModel>) ViewBag.MyItems)

.Name(@"grid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(pg => pg.Id).Visible(false);

columns.Bound(pg => pg.Name).Template(

                      c => Html.ActionLink(c.Name, @"Details", new {id = c.Id}));

columns.Command(

                      commands => commands.Destroy().Text("Delete")).Title("Delete");

})

.Pageable()

.Sortable()

.DataSource(

dataSource => dataSource

.Server()

.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.Id))

.Destroy(d => d.Action(@"Item_Destroy", @"Admin")))

)

}

I do experience the following (wrong) behavior:

User clicks the "Delete" button.
The "Store" action of the "BeginForm" is being called, instead of the "Item_Destroy" action.

My question:

What have I done wrong in my view?

Filter error in 2013.2.716

See screenshot.

It was working before the update (which I have since rolled back).

The grid itself doesn't even have filter enabled, why is it passing undefined at all, which is what Kendo is hanging up on I'm guessing....

How to make the Kendo Upload controle use span instead of div so i can use it in the toolbar of a grid without the extra line break?

I have a kendo grid that that uses a ClientDetailTemplate to display a second sub-grid. The sub-grid has a variety of commands that are in the toolbar, including a Kendo Upload control.

The problem is that the Kendo control is surrounded in a div, so it breaks the single line appearance of my toolbar. Is there any way to change the Upload control so that it can be used inline with other controls?

Thanks,
~Logan
