Hi!

I have a serverbound (ajax) grid and want to add a custom argument when fetching data.

After some searching I found the option to alter the parameterMap function. However, when I try to extend that function I extend the original functionality, not the one provided by kendo.aspnetmvc.js. This means that my custom argument works, but sort/filter/... does not anymore. When I remove my code sort/filter/... works but of course my custom data does not get through.

Is there any way to add my custom argument? Below is the code I tried for reference:



Thanks

Hello, I'd like to trigger a databind/search of the MVC AutoComplete programmatically instead of in reaction to a user typing. Is this possible?

I have a question regarding to Date format for Calendar controls inside ColumnMenu filter for Column with Date type. As you can see here, on attached screenshot I use a Denmark (<globalization culture="da-DK" uiCulture="da-DK" />) localization defined in Web.config. And all is ok except Calendar date format, that is US. All other calendars that I used out of this filter are configured to format "dd-MM-yyyy". But how to configurate this one, inside a filter?

Hello,
how can i execute an action from the controller,on clicking a menu item?

Also,the menu can be align vertically?or for that is the other control,the panel bar?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

  We are evaluating KendoUI to use in our company. One of the primary requirement for us is to have custom column filter only with a single textbox on each column without any menus, operators and buttons. When the user types something on the textbox I have to execute 'Contains' filter in server side. What is easiest way to do this? Please check the attached picture.

I am trying to use a dropdownlist as an editor template (using MVC Complete) and having several issues/questions.

1.) The binding works on Save, but not on Read: i.e. when I select an option and save the model, the correctly selected item's value is saved to the database, but then when pulling up that record again, the DDL is not reflecting that saved value. I have verified that value is in the Database and is in the view model.

2.) Can you bind to the View's model instead of the ViewData? i.e. .BindTo(Model.DDLOptions.CustomerOptions). When I try this I get an error "

'int' does not contain a definition for 'DDLOptions'

3.) Should the .Name value match the Property Name or the name as it is in the model. i.e. since my model has multiple sub-classes, it seems that I need to use a .Name that corresponds to the way the model references that field. In the view, I'd reference the OwnerId field as @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Item.OwnerId). As such I am using a .Name("Item.OwnerId"). This results in the issues listed in item 1...only 1 way binding. If I change it to .Name("OwnerId"), the base classes property name, no binding occurs at all.

Property decorated with UIHint in MetaData class for Base Class: This is for the Item class
View Model
EditorTemplate
How this property is reference in the View
If I place the Kendo DDL directly in the view, without using the editortemplate, here is the HTML output for Input element:
When the Kendo DDL is displayed via the EditorTemplate, here is the resulting HTML
Note in the latter it is missing the Value=3 attribute as well as the validation attributes.

Any help is appreciated.

We are currently evaluating the various different ways of binding our Backend code to the Kendo UI Grid control.

We have a Ajax enabled Controller and View which successfully uses a EditorTemplate to display a dropdown thus :


    @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
                      .Name("EmployeesGrid")
                      .Columns(columns =>
                                   {
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.PersonFirstName).Width(230).Title("First Name");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.PersonLastName).Width(230).Title("Last Name");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.DOB).Width(120).Title("D.O.B");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.Gender).Width(100).Title("Gender").EditorTemplateName("GenderDropDown");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.SSN).Width(230).Title("SSN");
                                       columns.Command(command =>
                                                           {
                                                               if (ClaimsAuthorize.CheckAccess(Constants.Actions.Delete, Resources.Employee))
                                                               {
                                                                   command.Destroy();
                                                               }
                                                               if (ClaimsAuthorize.CheckAccess(Constants.Actions.Update, Resources.Employee))
                                                               {
                                                                   command.Edit();
                                                                   command.Custom("ViewDetails").Click("EmployeeDetails");
                                                               }
                                                           }).Width(260).Title("Commands");
                                   })
                      .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
                      .DataSource(datasource => datasource
                                                    .Ajax()
                                                    .ServerOperation(false)
                                                    .Model(model => model.Id(e => e.Id))
                                                    .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
                                                    .Create(create => create.Action("CreateEmployee", "EmployeeAjax"))
                                                    .Read(read => read.Action("ReadEmployees", "EmployeeAjax"))
                                                    .Update(update => update.Action("EditEmployee", "EmployeeAjax"))
                                                    .Destroy(delete => delete.Action("DeleteEmployee", "EmployeeAjax"))
                      )
                      .ToolBar(tb =>
                                   {
                                       if (ClaimsAuthorize.CheckAccess(Constants.Actions.Create, Resources.Employee))
                                       {
                                           tb.Create();
                                       }
                                   })
                           .Pageable()
                      .Sortable()
                      .Scrollable()
                      .Filterable()
                      .Resizable(c => c.Columns(true))
                      .Reorderable(c => c.Columns(true))
                      .ColumnMenu()
                      .Groupable())


And the GendorDropDown partial view looks like:


    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m)
      .Name("Gender")
      .DataTextField("Text")
      .DataValueField("Value")
      .BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>
                  {
                      new SelectListItem {Text = "Male", Value = "M"},
                      new SelectListItem {Text = "Female", Value = "F"}
                  }))


However if I try to setup a Server Bound View using the same template it fails to render the dropdown at all. The column appears but with a value but this disappears completely when attempting to edit the line.


The code for the failing view is below:


    @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
                      .Name("EmployeesGrid")
                      .Columns(columns =>
                                   {
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.PersonFirstName).Width(230).Title("First Name");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.PersonLastName).Width(230).Title("Last Name");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.DOB).Width(120).Title("D.O.B");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.Gender).Width(100).Title("Gender").EditorTemplateName("GenderDropDown");
                                       //columns.ForeignKey(e => e.Gender, new List<SelectListItem>
                                       //                                      {
                                       //                                          new SelectListItem {Text = "Male", Value = "M"},
                                       //                                          new SelectListItem {Text = "Female", Value = "F"}
                                       //                                      }, "Value", "Text").Width(100).Title("Gender");
                                       columns.Bound(e => e.SSN).Width(230).Title("SSN");
                                       columns.Command(command =>
                                                           {
                                                               if (ClaimsAuthorize.CheckAccess(Constants.Actions.Delete, Resources.Employee))
                                                               {
                                                                   command.Destroy();
                                                               }
                                                               if (ClaimsAuthorize.CheckAccess(Constants.Actions.Update, Resources.Employee))
                                                               {
                                                                   command.Edit();
                                                                   command.Custom("ViewDetails").Action("Details", "Employee").Text("Details");
                                                               }
                                                           }).Width(260).Title("Commands");
                                   })
                      .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
                      .DataSource(datasource => datasource
                      .Server()
                      
                              .Model(model => { model.Id(e => e.Id);
                                                  model.Field(e => e.DOB).DefaultValue(null);
                              })
                      .Create(create => create.Action("Create","Employee"))
                      .Read(read => read.Action("Index","Employee"))
                      .Update(update => update.Action("Edit","Employee"))
                      .Destroy(delete => delete.Action("Delete","Employee"))
                      )
                      .ToolBar(tb =>
                                   {
                                       if (ClaimsAuthorize.CheckAccess(Constants.Actions.Create, Resources.Employee))
                                       {
                                           tb.Create();
                                       }
                                   })
                      .Pageable()
                      .Sortable()
                      .Scrollable()
                      .Filterable()
                      .Resizable(c => c.Columns(true))
                      .Reorderable(c => c.Columns(true))
                      .ColumnMenu()
                      .Groupable())


It unclear to me reading the documentation to see if this is even supported or whether the partial view for the template needs to look different. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the masses of cut and paste code.

Hello,

I was wondering how strict the 30 day trial period is for MVC?  Is it in anyway enforced by the included DLL to prevent use after 30 days?

I only ask, as I set it up in my dev environment earlier this week, got it working in one of my projects, but now I won't have time to work on any of my projects until January.

As I won't be using it over the Christmas period, it seems I won't get to actually trial this product if it prevents execution after 30 days.  (30 days seems a bit odd for a development library to be honest anyway.. couldn't you just limit it to only work on localhost, and not via any other domain / remote client ip?).


Thanks,
Shannon.
