Hi,

Currently in KendoUI for MVC, one can load the columns for a KendoGrid by writing this in the view,

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Object>(
    .Name("Some name")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.LoadSettings((IEnumerable<GridColumnSettings>)ViewData["Columns"]);
    })
    // ...
)

where ViewData["columns"] has been set in the controller.

I'm wondering if there is some similar way of loading several series for a KendoChart. I know I could probably accomplish this using javascript and an AJAX call, but I would rather use Razor for as much as I can, and I would like to avoid making too many server calls.

Thanks!

<div id="view">

 <input type="text" data-bind="value: UserName" required  />

 <input type="text" data-bind="value: Password" required  />

  <button data-bind="click: LogOn">Log On</button>

 </div>
 <script>


	$(document).ready(function () {
 		var validatable = $("#view").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator");
		var viewModel = {
 			LogOn: function () {
			var userName = this.get("UserName");
 			var password = this.get("Password");
 				if (validatable.validate()) {
				//What should be done here in order to send username and password?
				}
			}

		};

		kendo.bind($("#view"), viewModel);

	});
 </script>

public class AccountController : Controller
{

	[HttpPost]
	public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnModel model, string returnUrl)
	{
		if (ModelState.IsValid)
		{
			if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password))
			{
				FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);
				if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl) && returnUrl.Length > 1 && returnUrl.StartsWith("/")
					&& !returnUrl.StartsWith("//") && !returnUrl.StartsWith("/\\"))
				{
					return Redirect(returnUrl);
				}
				else
				{
					return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
				}
			}
			else
			{
				ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");
			}
		}

		return View(model);

	}
