Why the DropDownList .Value() method changes the value of the <input> element, but not displaying it. I saw that it displays some value in a <span> element that I don't know how to change. When I use DropDownListFor(x => x.UserName) I want my default value to be what I have in the Model. My question is how to set the default value of a DropDownList?

Hi

http://demos.kendoui.com/web/combobox/cascadingcombobox.html

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()
.Name("userComboBox") //The name of the combobox is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
.DataTextField("UserName") //Specifies which property of the Product to be used by the combobox as a text.
.DataValueField("UserID") //Specifies which property of the Product to be used by the combobox as a value.
.Filter(FilterType.StartsWith)
.Placeholder("Select Name...")
.DataSource(source =>
{
source.Read(read =>
{
read.Action("GetUsers", "UserDetails").Data("onAdditionalData"); //Set the Action and Controller name
})
.ServerFiltering(true); //If true the DataSource will not filter the data on the client.

}).Events(e=>e.Change("combobox_change"))




//Select first item.
)

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBox().Name("entityDetails")
.DataTextField("EntityName")
.DataValueField("EntityID")
.DataSource(source => {

Hi
I am trying to load a treeview using an Ajax call but with the load on demand set to false, I am looking to return the hierarchy to the client in a single call.  The basic layout of the treeview is simple

@(Html.Kendo().TreeView()
                          .Name("AvailablePortfolios")
                        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.Read("GetSelectedClientPortfolios", "PortfolioGroup"))
                        .LoadOnDemand(false))

and the json returned from the client is

[{"id":10014853,"text":"Ali, Mr Jake","items":[{"id":35443,"text":"Individual Investment Account (IMF0BGNX  D)","hasChildren":false},{"id":35444,"text":"ISA (IMF0BGNXSHD)","hasChildren":false}],"hasChildren":true}]

When I use this setup I find that the client is making roughly 20 - 30 requests to the server with the following request

GET /Platform/Tools/PortfolioGroup/GetSelectedClientPortfolios?id=10014853 HTTP/1.1

The Treeview then displays the first level correctly but whenever I attempt to expand out the tree I get the first node repeated.

Is there something wrong with the way my json is constructed or is there some other step I have missed.  Are there any examples of an Ajax request with load on demand set to false.

Thanks

Colin

New to Kendo & MVC, so please bear with me.
I have a view that contains a grid that is working almost perfectly for me. My model is a System.Data.DataTable which is generated by a service, and is entirely dynamic (in that I don't know the schema until runtime). I'm injecting the model directly into the View, which uses the DataColumn definitions in the DataTable to generate the presentation layer (GridColumnSettings):

 

I'm quite happy with this approach - it's simple and elegant and keeps the Model (arguably ViewModel) and Controller blissfully ignorant of any Kendo/UI concepts. The only problem with this is that sorting always calls back into the Controller, and the DataTable is regenerated, even though it will not have changed.

I've seen in some Ajax samples the use of a 'serverSorting' property on a 'dataSource' instance, and I think I need to set that to false in order to get what I want, but I can't see how that applies in my MVC scenario. I don't want to set up a DataSource() that makes an Ajax() call that then Read()s the returned Json, because I have all the data already, but I'm struggling to see how else would I get access to the DataSource.ServerSorting property.

What am I missing?

Hi,
I'm using ASP.NET MVC Wrapper for KendoUI in my project.
I saw Grid ColumnMenu and I want to use it and it works everything but the menu lists 3 undefined columns. My grid has 3 columns without model binding and with empty title but I set this
but nothing changes. So I've tried to comment those columns but nothing changes again.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,
Matteo.

Hello!

P.S. I can't delete this code: .HtmlAttributes(new { id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() }) ( in EditorTemplates)

....later
This code help me!

Hi,
I'm trying to accomplish following Task as this example shows :

Binding to a Web ApiController
http://www.kendoui.com/code-library/mvc/grid/binding-to-a-web-apicontroller.aspx

The problem is that without giving any error the DataGrid simply doesn't show/Bind the data. When checking the Traffic and the data which is retrieved everything looks fine.

Any ideas?
thanks in advance


, here the return json data:

....

[{"personID":"3123","firstName":"231","surname":"312321","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"999","firstName":"The","surname":"Best Employee","isEmployed":"Master"},{"personID":"P001","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P002","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P003","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P004","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P005","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P006","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P007","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null},{"personID":"P008","firstName":"XXX","surname":"XXX","isEmployed":null}]

....

and here my View:

and here my ApiController:

i keep see in code examples, a template  like this
columns.Template(t => { }).HeaderTemplate("").ClientTemplate(@"
< a href='javascript: void(0)' class='abutton edit' onclick='editRow(this)' title='button edit'>button edit</a>
< a href='javascript: void(0)' class='abutton delete' onclick='deleteRow(this)' title='button delete'>button delete</a>")

if i have to give other parameters to that editRow javascript function or multiple,for example a string something like editRow(this,2,'text',g) can i do it ? and how do i format this in that template context?
from the above example some parameters are given by value,some by reference.


and if i write "this" ,always it is interpreted as the sender of that event?it's very insteresting,i write something as a text and it is interpreted as a valid value,in this case a reference.

Daniel

Hi I have a column in my grid that is a DateTime field with long format date e.g. Friday, May 10, 2013

This is how it is defined in the ViewModel

The column is displayed correctly with what I want e.g. Friday, May 10, 2013 but when I get the selected row data for that column it is coming back with the following:
Here is the code on the view to get the selected row.


How do I change it to get the long format date that is displayed in the grid? Any help greatly appreciated.

I have just returned to using Kendo and put a simple editor on an MVC view. Works fine in Firefox and in IE 10 with compatibility view turned on. With compatibility view turned off the post data for that field is empty.

Is there a specific setting or version that would affect this ?
