HI,

   I am working on exploring the grid features of the Kendo UI. I am working on binding the data table to the grid and populating  the data's.
   
I got the sample solution to work on the data table with the grid from the below URL.

URL: http://www.kendoui.com/code-library/mvc/grid/binding-to-datatable.aspx

I am pretty impressed with the Grid View, but when to try to create the  the edit view  mode as INLINE (or ) INCEL in the grid  i am getting the below error.when i try to give the popup in the gridview, I am not getting anything from the data table in popup.

I'm using the Table Per Concrete type where I have all my models inherit from one base class which has common properties. Since the Get, Insert, Update, and Delete methods do the same thing for each model I'm using, I want to make these methods reusable for each of these models.

Here is the code that I currently have:

PhoenixDB ctx = new PhoenixDB();

public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}

public ActionResult Get([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
{
return Json(GetViewModels().ToDataSourceResult(request));
}

public ActionResult Update([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Parameter parameter)
{
var parameterToUpdate = ctx.Parameter.First(param => param.ParameterID == parameter.ParameterID);
TryUpdateModel(parameterToUpdate);

ctx.SaveChanges();

return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult());
}

public ActionResult Insert([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Parameter parameterToAdd)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
ctx.Parameter.Add(parameterToAdd);
ctx.SaveChanges();
}

return Json(new[] { parameterToAdd }.ToDataSourceResult(request));
}

public ActionResult Delete([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Parameter parameter)
{
var parameterToDelete = ctx.Parameter.First(param => param.ParameterID == parameter.ParameterID);

if (parameterToDelete != null)
{
ctx.Parameter.Remove(parameterToDelete);
ctx.SaveChanges();
}

return Json(new[] { parameterToDelete }.ToDataSourceResult(request));
}

private IQueryable<Parameter> GetViewModels()
{
return (from parameter in ctx.Parameter select parameter);
}

Here is something I would like to do to make it generic, but not sure how:

public ActionResult Update([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, Base base)
{
var baseToUpdate = ctx.Base.First(param => param.ParameterID == base.ParameterID);
TryUpdateModel(baseToUpdate);

ctx.SaveChanges();

return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult());
}

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

In Kendo Grid, How to automatically adjust the column width on the basis of the column data length and browser window width

I am starting a new project and was going to use KendoUI for it.
But there it does not have any docking functionality.
Whereas the telerik ASP.NET Ajax controls do.

Now i am wondering if i should not just use those instead.
But before i make a decision i would love some input on this.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

In what cases would one work better over the other?

Hi Guys,
I was trying to follow your instructions, downloaded couple test projects from this forum, but I cannot make ComboBox show up without error unfortunately. The error is attached as image.  

Unfortunately I cannot attach project archive here, its 3.2 MB. You can find the archive here:

Can you please take a look, I was just trying to show simple ComboBox on /Home/Index.cshtml

Thank you in advance!

I need to preserve the filter, page, sort of my grid after moving off the page and coming back to it.  I found using a cookie to preserve grid state in the code library: http://www.kendoui.com/code-library/web/grid/preserve-grid-state-in-a-cookie.aspx. I have an MVC application, so I am having some difficulty understanding what is going on in the example, and what I would need to do to make this work with MVC.  Can someone explain how to make this logic work with MVC?

I have just updated to the latest build this morning.

2 issues with the grid:

a) when I click insert (toolbar) - it works the first time - the 2nd time - i have to refresh the browser.

b) when on the 2nd or higher page of a grid, clicking the insert does not have the popup appear.  By the looks of it, the shadow record is added to the grid on insert ... and since it's on another grid page - causes the grid to refresh and the popup edit window does not appear.

Update:  It seems like the edit popup edit window will open the first time (editing grid row) - but after that - the attached image shows what's breaking.

If you have a menu and add a item like the line below. All menu items after the line show up even if the authorize say they should not. The menu work as expected if the line is  the last line. (1q 2013)

DropDownLists (or ComboBoxes) for numeric members on the model do not post their value when used in a grid. I have attached a sample project. Is there anything I am doing wrong or need to do differently in order to accomplish this?
