In your grid demo for filter menu customisation you define grid columns as follows:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.EmployeeViewModel>()    
    .Name("Grid")
    .Columns(columns => {
        columns.Template(@<text>@item.FirstName  @item.LastName</text>)
                .ClientTemplate("#=FirstName# #=LastName#")
                .Title("Name");
        columns.Bound(e => e.City)
                .Filterable(filterable => filterable.UI("cityFilter"))
                .Width(200);

However, the Filterable method on a column only accepts a bool as an input value.
The code in this demo is not possible.

if I type 7809876543
Is possible to format to (780)-987-6543 for display?

Hi,
I have this code:
But command is empty after for example sorting or changing page in the grid.

In old Telerik Mvc grid there was an attribute to set on the ActionResult. Do I need something similar here?

Hi,
I'm using this code:
.EnableCustomBinding(true)
.PrefixUrlParameters(false)

and when I hover over the UpdatedDate column I'm getting the correct url: pageSize=10&sort=UpdatedDate-asc
but after I clicked it the url in address bar is: undefinedsort=UpdatedDate-asc&undefinedpage=1&undefinedpageSize=10&undefinedgroup=&undefinedfilter=

Have I missed something?
I have also set a name for the grid: .Name("MyGrid") and that part is removed when using PrefixUrlParameters(false).

HI all,

I'm a bit new to Kendo, so forgive me if this is an easy question;

I have a grid of orders. The last column of the grid needs to be a link/button/whatever that launches a bit of JavaScript that does some AJAX stuff. Pretty simple. I found that documentation on the columns.Template method and I _think_ that's what I want. The problem is that I have only found examples where one field from the model is being used in the method call and I need three;
 I tried the snippet above but I got an error on the page that said "CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, await and new object expressions can be used as a statement"

Any advice? Please remember I'm VERY new to the Kendo stuff.

Thanks,
James

I updated to kendo 19.x today and got a load of errors, I did a rollback and all ok.
Is kendo supposed to work with 19.x, if not will there be an update soon?
Thanks

Hi,
It would be great if you could build in so some common properties are possible to enable by parameter true/false.
You have this functionality on some properties already.
It would be useful for example Create, Edit, Destroy like:
It is then possible to grab this from the model like:

Is there a way to get the current mode of the grid inside a column template? I want to check if the grid is in edit mode within a column template so I can act on it. 

I have some grids using telerik MVC controls that I am trying to move to Kendo.
They handle large amounts of data so I want to use custom binding.

so far I have got the grid to load with data, but when trying to sort or filter I get sorts or filter is null.
Where am I going wrong,

Thanks

I have some comboboxes that cascade from one to the other.  I would also like to be able to filter based on partial text entered into the combobox.  This isn't working out of the box, so I'm working on coding it server-side.  It appears that the text is being posted to the servers, but I can't find a server-side object to bind to the post.  Here's what's being posted.  In my case "Value" is the value of the parent combobox this combobox is cascading from.

1. filter[logic]:
   and
2. filter[filters][0][field]:
   Value
3. filter[filters][0][operator]:
   eq
4. filter[filters][0][value]:
   2
5. filter[filters][1][value]:
   purity
6. filter[filters][1][field]:
   Text
7. filter[filters][1][operator]:
   contains
8. filter[filters][1][ignoreCase]:
   true

I took a look at IFilterDescriptor, FilterDescriptor, and CompositeFilterDescriptor.  They seem to have similar fields to those shown above, but they aren't binding when I try to use them as input to my Action method.  I haven't had any luck finding a similar thread or any documentation around this.

Again, my end goal is to have cascading comboboxes without losing the ability to filter by text entered, so if there's any advise there, I'm all ears.  Also, any advice on how to bind the posted filter info is welcome.
Thanks,
--Evan


Also, here's the definition of my comboboxes as a side note:
<tr>
            <td class="formTableLabel">Price Publisher: </td>
            <td>
                @(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()
                    .Name("PricePublisherId")
                    .DataValueField("Value")
                    .DataTextField("Text")
                    .BindTo(Model.ReferenceData.PricePublisherList)
                    .Filter(FilterType.Contains)
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { required = "required", validationMessage = "Please select an option." }))
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="formTableLabel">Price Instrument: </td>
            <td>
                @(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()
                    .Name("PriceInstrumentId")
                    .DataValueField("Value")
                    .DataTextField("Text")
                    .Placeholder("(Empty)")
                    .DataSource(source =>
                    {
                        source.Read(read =>
                        {
                            read.Action("GetPriceInstrumentList", "TradeEntry").Data("priceInstrumentListJSON").Type(HttpVerbs.Post);
                        })
                        .ServerFiltering(true);
                    })
                    .Enable(false)
                    .AutoBind(false)
                    .CascadeFrom("PricePublisherId")
                    .Filter(FilterType.Contains)
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { required = "required", validationMessage = "Please select an option." }))
            </td>
        </tr>
