I'm having problems when trying to format the date that's displayed on a grid.

With the following code:
The date appears unformatted (e.g. /Date(1361292162723)/) and the edit button appears in the other column (see the edit image).

If I change the code so that the date column uses a client template with the date formatting:
Then the date formats correctly but the edit button in the other column no longer appears. It just shows the ID as a string (see the noedit image).

How can I get the date to format correctly and have the other client template working?

Hi,
While retrieving the value of dropdownlist I am getting 'undefined'. here is my code: 

 @(Html.Telerik().DropDownList()
          .Name("cmbInvoieNo")
          .BindTo(new SelectList(Model.PIModel, "InvoiceID", "InvoiceName"))
                   .Placeholder("Select Invoice Number...")
                   .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 230px; float: left;" })
                                    ) 
 <div><button type="submit" class="t-button t-state-default" onclick="getInvoiceNo()"> @Model.ButtonCaption</button> </div>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@{
    <script type="text/javascript">
              function getInvoiceNo() {
            var cmbInvoice = $("#cmbInvoieNo").data("tDropDownList").text();            
            alert(" Invoice1 : " + cmbInvoice);
        }      
   </script>
}

--- On Click of 'Submit' button : $("#cmbInvoieNo").data("tDropDownList").text() return 'undefined' 
$("#cmbInvoieNo") ---  'defined'
$("#cmbInvoieNo").data("tDropDownList") ------- undefined

any Idea what could be wrong ??

I am trying to implement search criteria which bind to Kendo Ui grid.
However it return no record and no error display. Is there something i
missed?

Controller code :

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SearchProduct(ProductSearchCriteria criteria)
{
string nameCriteria = string.Empty;
string descCriteria = string.Empty;

TTSEntities dc = new TTSEntities();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(criteria.Name)) nameCriteria = criteria.Name.ToLower().Trim();

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(criteria.Community)) descCriteria = criteria.Desc.ToLower().Trim();

var results = dc.Products.AsQueryable();
if (criteria.Name!= null)
results = results.Where(b => b.Name== criteria.Name);

if (criteria.Desc!= null)
results = results.Where(b => b.Desc== criteria.Desc);


return PartialView("_ProductGrid", results.ToList());
}

I have a custom edit pop-up.  I'm trying to add a hidden byte array, but it's not working.  They byte array will be dynamic but I can't even get a hard coded version to work properly.

If I put the following line in the custom edit cshtml file,
The pop-up renders it as:
When I try it in a regular MVC page everything works as expected.  (Also, this is the only part of the model that doesn't render correctly in the custom edit pop-up.)

I want to know how I have somthing like this
http://www.aspnetwiki.com/page:kendoui-ext-api-dropdowngrid
in kendo.mvc?

I am trying to implement an Autocomplete on a partial view.  The model contains the data in a property called AvailableMatters which is an IEnumerable<Matter>.  Matter has a property called "Name" which is what I want to display and have users type in the autocomplete box.

Looking at the html that is being rendered, it's got my data in the autocomplete widget.  However, nothing happens when you type in the autocomplete box. 
This is the html that is being rendered:
 <input id="activeMatterID" name="activeMatterID" type="text" />
<script>
    jQuery(function(){jQuery("#activeMatterID").kendoAutoComplete({"select":activeMatterIDSelected,"change":activeMatterIDChanged,
"dataSource":[{"MatterID":10259,"IsMasterDataset":false,"IsChildMatter":false,"ParentMatterID":0,"ParentMatterName":null,"Name":"01_Automated Test Matter","ClientID":3089,"ClientName":"01_AutomatedTestClient","SubClientID":0,"SubClientName":null,"Description":"","ServerID":1,"DatabaseName":"20_10259_3089_Matter_100062_22Jan13_052007","JobNumber":0,"Status":1,"StatusDisplay":1,"Priority":2,"EstimatedJobSizeInGb":0,"ArchiveLocation":null,"DBSchemaVersion":"5.0.0.0","AccountManagerID":21,"AccountManagerName":"Bob Jones","ClientMatterPO":"Matter Test","ContactName":"","ContactPhone":"","ProjectPath":null,"DisplayProjectPath":"","BackupNotes":null,"CurrentLoadVersion":null,"CreatedBy":67,"CreatedDate":"\/Date(1358896807610)\/","ModifiedBy":67,"LastModifiedDate":"\/Date(1358896807610)\/","LastAccessedDate":"\/Date(-62135575200000)\/","LastBackupDate":"\/Date(-62135575200000)\/","TimeZoneName":null},{"MatterID":10263,"IsMasterDataset":false,"IsChildMatter":false,"ParentMatterID":0,"ParentMatterName":null,"Name":"01_AutomatedTestMatter2","ClientID":3089,"ClientName":"01_AutomatedTestClient","SubClientID":0,"SubClientName":null,"Description":"","ServerID":1,"DatabaseName":"20_10263_3089_Matter_23Jan13_023035","JobNumber":0,"Status":1,"StatusDisplay":1,"Priority":2,"EstimatedJobSizeInGb":0,"ArchiveLocation":null,"DBSchemaVersion":"5.0.0.0","AccountManagerID":21,"AccountManagerName":"Bob Jones","ClientMatterPO":"987654","ContactName":"","ContactPhone":"","ProjectPath":null,"DisplayProjectPath":"","BackupNotes":null,"CurrentLoadVersion":null,"CreatedBy":67,"CreatedDate":"\/Date(1358973035963)\/","ModifiedBy":67,"LastModifiedDate":"\/Date(1358973035963)\/","LastAccessedDate":"\/Date(-62135575200000)\/","LastBackupDate":"\/Date(-62135575200000)\/","TimeZoneName":null},],
"dataTextField":"Name",
"placeholder":"Search..."});});
</script>

In Firebug if I look at the HTML view it actually shows me stuff I can't see from the page source, presumably digging down into the Kendo script somewhere:
<span class="k-widget k-autocomplete k-header k-state-default" tabindex="-1" role="presentation" style=""><input id="activeMatterID" class="k-input" type="text" name="activeMatterID" data-role="autocomplete" placeholder="Search..." style="width: 100%;" autocomplete="off" role="textbox" aria-haspopup="true" aria-disabled="false" aria-readonly="false" aria-owns="activeMatterID_listbox" aria-autocomplete="list"><span class="k-icon k-loading" style="display:none"></span></span>

Why does autocomplete="off"?  I don't see anywhere in the helper where I can explicitly turn this on?

And this is the helper code, which was derived from your documentation.
 @(Html.Kendo().AutoComplete()
          .Name("activeMatterID") //The name of the autocomplete is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
          .DataTextField("Name") //Specifies which property of the Matter to be used by the autocomplete.
          .BindTo(Model.AvailableMatters)   //Pass the list of Matters to the autocomplete.
          .Events(e => e.Select("activeMatterIDSelected").Change("activeMatterIDChanged"))
          .Placeholder("Search...")
          )

On screen it just looks like a blank textbox.  I do not even see the placeholder text.  I have the latest version  of these Kendo UI Complete plus MVC, I only downloaded it yesterday.

The change event does fire, the value is whatever got typed into the box (which generally isn't valid because no autocomplete occurred and users aren't going to know the exact name type type in.

We are not using any Telerik data sources, we have a custom WCF service we use to retrieve data so we do not want the autocomplete to bind to anything other than the data we pass in via the model.  I want to just capture the select & change events to call our own methods to act based on what they select.

So..what do I need to do to get the autocomplete to function (i.e. to autocomplete when a user types)?

As a second question, ideally I would like to capture not the text that they type but another field on the object associated with their selection.  The objects are Matters, we are showing the Matter.Name, but I would like to retrieve the Matter.MatterID and use this to act off of instead of the Matter.Name.  Is this possible, and how would I do this?  I can work off name if necessary but it's sub-ideal.  My main concern at the moment is getting the autocomplete to work.

Thanks in advance!

Please help with rendering a byte array.

Good morning,

I'm having the same issue seen here:
http://www.kendoui.com/forums/permalink/4pdb6wyQTUWsacYhmciO0w. (I've
also seen a few other posts about this same issue)

Unfortunately I don't understand the answer.  Could someone please provide a little more detail about what the answer means?

Thanks!

Hello,
There seem to be several examples dotted around the place on how to handle Model State errors
e.g. How do I display model state errors?
http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/faq
However I cannot find any documentation on how to create the error on the server in the first place.
Any hint of what needs to replace the comments shown below, would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Pete

Grid values do not seem to use the DisplayTemplate as defined.  Is there something to do to get them to use them?

I suppose as an alternative I could use the ClientRowTemplate and do it that way, but seems over kill.
