Int bound grid column not showing numeric text editor

I'm playing around with the new MVC wrappers and I'm having trouble with the grid editors in the examples.
When I view the InlineEditing sample for the grid, clicking the Create button on the toolbar provides an inline editor with numeric text boxes.
In my own project, the grid just shows standard textboxes. To try and see where I've gone wrong I've copied the code from the examples into a standalone project and that reproduces the error, showing only standard text boxes as well. No errors, just no numeric textbox.

Any ideas where I could be going wrong?

Multiple tooltips tied to the same control - how to get all tooltips client side?

I have a grid that has a few different tooltips tied to it. Each tooltip is tied to a specific column in the grid. I'd like to be able to do some modification to the tooltips client-side, but can't figure out how to access all of them. $('#mygrid').data('kendoTooltip') only returns one tooltip, not all of them (in my case, I have 3 different tooltips.)

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Brian

[Solved] server-side paging with ajax

I am just getting started with the ASP.NET MVC wrappers. I have been looking at the Custom server binding http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/custom-binding.

The first example of server-side paging/sorting works fine, but it refreshes the entire web page on paging/sorting (it's not ajax).

So I have started looking at the second example on the same page, "Custom ajax binding". Unfortunately there is no .cshtml code provided, so I can't get this to work.

Server-side paging with ajax is such a common scenario in ASP.NET, can you please add a full sample in the demo pages?

Thank you

Assistance with sorting on 'computed' column

I am using the grid control and having a problem where it is not sorting on a column that is being calculated. Here's the relevant part of my controller, where I'm performing my LINQ query:

select new Models.ApplicationModels.CustomerModel
{
CustomerID = instance.CustomerID,
CustomerOrders = GetCustomerOrders(instance.CustomerID)
};

This all displays perfectly fine. I can sort on CustomerID, but I can't sort on CustomerOrders. I'm not doing anything special with the binding, just calling it the same way as CustomerID.

How can I get this to sort properly? Would it help if I moved the logic of GetCustomerOrders into a SQL function and made it a computed column there? I should note that I'd like to be able to sort this across all Customer entities -- and I am looking at a lot of data (millions of rows). If there is a better way of handling this I'm open to suggestions.

Db.SaveChanges();
}

}

Batch edit "preloaded" items

I have a detail grid where I want to display a specified number of items.
My master grid item have a Quantity columns that is 6, for example. And for detail items, in database, is set that I need to have 4 of type A, and 2 of type B.
and the user *MUST* fill all the 6 lines.

in controller I add 6 items to the list, 4 for type A, 2 for type B, for each type, while needed:

list.Add(new Editable

{

Id = -1,

MasterId = masterId,

Type = TypeCode

});

but when I try to save it, I got this error in jquery.min.js:

Unhandled exception at line 3, column 5099 in http://localhost:60455/Scripts/kendo/jquery.min.js

0x800a138f - Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'length' is null or not an object

Is there a way to work this out?

Thanks,
Ezequiel

Show MultiSelect Tags Vertically

I want to have the selected items in the multi-select helper render vertically (instead of the default horizontal). I tried using a custom tagTemplate that added a break tag, but all that did was put the "X" for removing below the text of the tag. How can I do this?

Date ClientTemplate and EditorTemplateName for Nullable or 0 Dates

In our database, we use 0 (which resolves as 1/1/1900) for dates.

We don't have nullable dates.

What is the best practice such that dates that come into the model is 0 (or1/1/1900), format so in display mode they appear as "--" or "n/a" or "", while in edit mode, the control shows an empty box, instead of 1/1/1900?

KendoUI with ServiceStack.net

Hey,

I want to use KendoUI on the top of my ServiceStack project.
What is the recommended way to use ? I heard that the MVC of KendoUI wrappers are not compatible with HTML-Helpers of ServiceStack ?

So it would be nce to know why ?
Can I use it without the MVC wrappers of KendoUI - if yes - what's the best case ?

best wishes
Norbert
