I have read several tutorials and have a few basic questions regarding mobile development and Kendo.
1.  I am building mobile apps with MVC 4 and VS 2012.  Do I only need to use Kendo Mobile UI or do I also use Kendo UI Complete for ASP.Net MVC?  What is the difference?
2.  I also want to use OpenAccess ORM, but do not understand where this integrates with Kendo UI Mobile (is there any good samples)?
3. This will be hosted via Azure websites, is there any gotchas before I moved forward?

Thanks for the help, I must admit it is not very clear which toolset to use at this point.

I have a combobox with over 100000 records, but it's unusable, it makes the browser very slow and unresponsive.

I'm using it like this:
I've also tried setting Autobind(false), but when I try to open the combobox it becomes unusable.

I've tried limiting the number of records returned, but once it's databoud, it seems it won't call the server method again no matter what I type in the box.

Any help on how to make the combobox usable with huge number of records?

Hi,
I implemented Kendo Grid helper in a MVC 4 with WebApi application, but I don't know how can I set de column list to change dinamically the rows that it shows.
My code:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Bitacora.WebUI.Models.WhiteBoard.XXXGridModel>()
            .Name("Grid")
            .AutoBind(true)
            .EnableCustomBinding(true)
            //.BindTo(Model.xxxx.YYYList)
            .Columns(c =>
            {
                c.AutoGenerate(column =>
                {
                    //customize autogenereted column's settings                                                    
                    column.Width = "150px";
                    
                    //column.ClientTemplate = "<input type='checkbox' name='checkbox' />";

                });
            })

                                                   .ServerOperation(true)) // Paging, sorting, filtering and grouping will be done server-side  
                                                //.ColumnMenu()

Anyone can Help me?!
Thanks in advance

Is there a way to edit grid rows in a separate view. I need to accomplish this because the modal has too much information so it needs to be displayed in a separate view.

The only problem is the modal shows up is there anyway to do this without the modal showing at all and it goes stratight to the seperate view?

Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to bind an action from the Db to the kendo menu. 
in all the demos I saw there is and Item.add().text().action("action","controller");

but if I bind to Db then I have:
Item.Text = "Some Text";

how should I attach the action method to the menu? (what should be the right side of the item.Action = ?)
I would also like your opinion as to the way to store it in the Db (if there is any best practice regrding this matter).

thank you

(the sample application that I wanted to attached is slightly above 2MB  after having removed binaries, etc... can I email it to someone for support?)

We have a requirement to drag data from multiple sources and drop it to a treeview. To illustrate the problem(s)...  I am including a VS 2012 Sample project that includes a destination treeview on the left side and another treeview and grid on the right side. The treeview on the left is populated from one database and the treeview and grid on the right from another. The goal is to copy (and not "move) data from one database (on the right) to the other (on the left).
The sample is based on the Northwind database.

I couldn't find solutions to many many problems so I just rather to provide a clean sample project so hopefully it can be completed (instead of creating multiple different support tickets). Other that some fragments of JavaScript I could not find any functional and practical sample fully implementing a typical drag and drop scenario on an MVC project with Kendo.

These are the needs which hopefully can be addressed on the provided sample app.:

1) We want to drag from the source treeview to the destination treeview... How can we configure the source treeview visual indicators so users know that they can "drag" but not "drop"on the (same) source treeview but on the treeview on the left?

2) How can we identify the parent node (the target) to which data is being dropped? (I tried the target and dropTarget field but got "undefined"). The other problem is that in our real application, for some reason when data is being  dragged from the grid we do not see any target information (all objects are "undefined").

3) The treeview is very smart and adds the dragged node automatically when dragging from one treeview to the other... However, it is not the case when dragging from the Grid. Can we get some code about how to accomplish this (even better... modify the sample)  so when dragging from the grid instead of a TreeView, the destination treeview behaves exactly the same (e.g. so it displays the same built-in visual effects when hovering between sibling nodes, a parent node or on a node that doesn't allow child nodes, 
etc..)

4) Since we had problems retrieving the destination treeview's targetNode, I could not go further and persist the dragged node to the database implementing an Ajax post to a controller action. It would be great to have that part.

5) The idea is to copy and not move data... How can we prevent Kendo to visually remove automatically the source node from the source treeview once it's been dragged out?


Basically... if someone can complete the sample so it allows transferring data from one Northwind database to another (using either the treeview or the grid on the right to the one on the left) it would be great

Hi, I am new to the Kendo UI controls and am evaluating them for potential use in a new project. I am having difficulty getting unobtrusive validation to work for a numeric text box. On the same view, I am able to get unobtrusive validation to work for a Kendo date picker. I am at a loss to understand what I am missing from my MVC4 project. 

I have attached the source for my view, my model, my controller and the html output. I have also attached a screen grab of the unobtrusive validation working for the date picker and not the numeric text box.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to find a node by id (clientside)?

Here is how we populate the treeview.

Has anyone successfully placed the RadEitor within a TabStrip control. ? The Radeditor is always displayed outside of the tabstrip at the top of the form (see attached image).

//sample code
@(Html.Kendo().TabStrip()
    .Name("configuration")
    .SelectedIndex(0)
    .Items(tabstrip =>
     {
     tabstrip.Add()
         .Text("General Settings")
         .Content(@<text>
                   @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Appcutoffdate)    
                   @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Appcutoffdate)           
               </text>);
     tabstrip.Add()
        .Text("Email")        
        .Content(@<text>
                   @{ Html.Kendo().EditorFor(model => model.EmailAcceptBody)
                      .Name("EmailAcceptBody")
                      .Encode(false)
                      .Render();                                                                              
                      }            
               </text>);
     })
)

Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to make a grid with PopUp-Mode. Now I need a customized content for the editing-window. I know it is possible to define a "TemplateName" which directs to an EditorTemplate. But in this case I'm not allowed to use an EditorTemplate for different reasons.

I saw in other posts (eg: http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/grid/custom-popup-editor-with-additional-fields.aspx#MtaYNNFFv0aHX5-drisScg ) where the Grid was not initialized by the MVC-wrapper, that it is possible to define a template which uses a script (type="text/x-kendo-template") like the following:
So in my case I also want to use this kind of template for the editing-window.

Here is my Code of the Grid:
So what can I do to use a specific template-script? I can't use an EditorTemplate.

Thank you!
