Hi,

Can anyone send me some sample code for kendo grid with code first approach.
I want to retrieve data from sqlserver not from sql xpress.

i tried with the following example getting error "An exception occurred while initializing the database. See the InnerException for details."

Displaying Window widget screws up my page's design

I have attached 3 images,

home.png is how my bootstrap-themed website looks like

I added this line of code in my page, right at the bottom

@(Html.Kendo().Window()
.Name("window")
.Title("test")
.Content("loading...")
    .LoadContentFrom("Login", "Authentication")
    .Modal(true)
    .Draggable()
)

modal1.png is how the site looks like with the modal window

after.png is how the site looks like after I've closed the modal window

I'd like to know what is causing the design of my site to mess up?

When I looked in the page source of the code, this is causing the page to render incorrectly

<div id="window"></div><script>
	jQuery(function(){jQuery("#window").kendoWindow({"modal":true,"iframe":false,"draggable":true,"title":"test","resizable":false,"content":"/login","actions":["Close"]});});
	</script>

I tried removing kendoui's css from my layout page, but the result is the same.

how to set values other than text using the htmlhelpers in razor

working with a MVC4 application, and trying to get the menu to render.

I've tried the following code, which works fine:

@(Html.Kendo().Menu()
.Name("menu")
.Items(items =>
{
items.Add().Text("Item 1");
items.Add().Text("Item 2");
}
)
)

how can I set properties other than Text? I would like to be able to reference events by the menu item ID, which I can't seem to set through the html Helpers.

Menu Error in Kendo MVC project with Jquery 1.7.1

If I add JQuery 1.7.1 or 1.7.2 to the project, it fails with the following error


TypeError: jQuery("#Menu").kendoMenu is not a function
jQuery(function(){jQuery("#Menu").kendoMenu({});});

This is really strange. Even if I add the reference of JQuery 1.7.1 or 1.7.2 to the sample project provided by KENDO UI, it also fails with the same error.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Cascade ComboBox and passing parameters to server

Hello.
Ive got two comboboxes:
-first one:

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()

.Name("Dim1")

.DataTextField("Barcode")

.DataValueField("Barcode")

.Filter(FilterType.StartsWith)

.DataSource(action => action.Read(read => read.Action("GetStockLocationsForComboBoxAjax", "StockLocation")).ServerFiltering(true))

.MinLength(3)

)

-second one:

<script type="text/javascript">

function onAdditionalData() {

return { Barcode: $("#Dim1").val() };

}

</script>

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()

.Name("Dim2")

.DataTextField("Barcode")

.DataValueField("Barcode")

.Filter(FilterType.StartsWith)

.DataSource(action => action.Read(read => read.Action("GetStockLocationsForComboBoxAjax", "StockLocation").Data("onAdditionalData")).ServerFiltering(true))

.MinLength(3)

.CascadeFrom("Dim1")

)

Here is my read action signature:

[HttpGet]

public JsonResult GetStockLocationsForComboBoxAjax([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, string text, string Barcode)

How can I achieve the following:
Im putting some data to Div1 and get it under text parameter. When I put something in Div2 I will get that data under text plus data from Div1 under Barcode parameter.

I hope ive described it enough clearly.

Thanks!

Bad demo! It incorrectly shows how to build a controller.

I downloaded a trial for Kendo UI. It has a grid demo which is accessed via this url.

http://localhost:8301/razor/web/grid/index

It shows you the source for the view and the controller on page.

If a developer uses the code for the controller as a guide (which I did) you run into several issues.

The Products_Read action is called from the view for Ajax calls. However, since its not the same name as the action that displayed the view the grid is on it will instead throw an exception stating you need to use JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet (which is highly misleading as the developer will now start going down the wrong path). Changing this behavior will get you a page full of JSON data and no grid.

The issue is that there is no view called Products_Read... the original view with the grid is called from Index action. The controller action for the ajax call should probably be renamed to Index and, for clarity, should also be decorated with an HttpPost attribute.

This "demo" cost me about 4 hours of time.

Wrappers in ASP.Net MVC vs html/javascript

Is it possible to do everything using the Grid and Datasource wrappers that can be done in javascript/html? I made the decision, perhaps unwisely, to use the MVC Wrappers for ASP.Net MVC development. But it is far from obvious what the mapping is from JS to the wrapper and if it is complete.

The examples don't help much. I am trying to put together a grid where some columns are foreign keys on another record. For example, Instead of displaying "Mr.", or "Mrs." or "Ms." etc I would prefer to use key values and then retrieve the value from another table. That is simple. But I want to edit inline and I want that field to be a dropdown list of valid titles.I see an example using javascript but I can't see how to replicate that code in a Wrapper. Also, the example uses local data instead of accessing a database but I can figure out how to get the date from a database.

I don't want to continue trying to get the Wrapper to work if the wrapper only supports a subset of the native functionality.The particular area I am having trouble with is in the definition of Fields.
