[Solved] Bind to XElement - razor syntax

[Greg]

I can't figure this out. I have the results of a linq query and want to display them in a table.

This is what the controller returns:

return View(new GridModel<XElement>
            {
                Data = ci
            });

This is what is in the view:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}

<h2>@ViewBag.Message</h2>

@model IEnumerable<System.Xml.Linq.XElement>
@{Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Issues")
        .Columns(cols => {
            cols.Bound(c => c.Attribute("Issue").Value).Template(

@<text>
Attribute("Issue").Value
</text>
                );
        })
        .DataBinding(db => db.Ajax().Select("_ClientLoading", "Home").OperationMode(GridOperationMode.Client))
        .Filterable()
        .Sortable()
        .Groupable()
        .Render();

}

Hello,

What is the problem which you are currently facing? I couldn't understand that from what you have posted. Please elaborate.

Internal server error 500 and no data.

Do you have any existing examples of using XElements? Doesn't seem like I should need to re-invent the wheel for something that's been done before.

Hi,

 No, we currently don't have any existing examples for binding to XElements. Could you check the server response when server error 500 is shown? You can use a HTTP sniffer tool such as Fiddler or Firebug to do this. In that response the full stack trace of the exception would be shown. I suspect that JSON serialization of XElement is not supported by ASP.NET MVC hence the exception.

My data is already in XML so I don't want to go through all sorts of [de]serialization. Plan 2 is to feed the table by simply doing a get for some XML. How can I feed the grid directly with XML or through Javascript calls to add grid rows.

Hi,

 Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC does not support binding to raw XML data. You also cannot add rows on the client side.
