Binding Grid to external dataSource (i.e. uphsot)

[Szilard]

Hello,

I am working on binding an upshot dataSource to a kendoGrid, using Knockout-Kendo.js
I managed to display the data correctly, by manually configuring which columns to show with what fields, and the grid is refreshed when the underlying data is changed. However I am having trouble with the pagination: the grid is looking at the actual amount of data that upshot has locally, and defines its pages based on that. However, I don't want to get all the data at once with upshot, only one page at a time.

Ex. I have 15 objects on the server, and I set my pageSize in the grid to 5, as well as upshot paging to 5, but with an includeTotalCount so I get back the TotalCount=15. Now, since upshot only has 5 local entities, the grid will only display one page, with these 5 items, even if I set

dataSource: {

 total: dataSource.getTotalEntityCount(), //which returns 15

 pageSize: 5

}

Is there any way I can tell the kendoGrid dataSource to show me the page numbers based on the total number specified, even if no actual data is present? Also, how would I then be able to pass the paging information (take,skip) options down to upshot, so it can make the requests based on those filters?

Thanks,
Szilard

I urgently need to do this too guys! If any suggestions, that would be great!

I've made to successfully do this, but just missing the page numbers... I can set "Total" in the datasource upon the first setup, but once adding new rows or adding to the datasource.add the "Total" changes, we need to be able to change "Total" in the datasource for ever to some value in the future...

Robert.

Hello guys,

I am afraid I cannot understand what exactly your scenario is. Is it possible to provide a small but runnable example that we can examine in details? Please send us such example and we will check it right away.
