[Solved] Binding runtime generated columns to Grid

[Rajesh Ramanathan]

Hi,

In my scenerio, I have a dataTable which has runtime generated coulmns. I need to bind those columns to grid.
Below is my code, I can see the run time generated columns in header but not the data.

@{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt = ViewBag.region;

}
<br />
<br />
<div>
    @(Html.Telerik().Grid<System.Data.DataRow>()
    .Name("Region")
             .DataKeys(dataKeys => dataKeys.Add(dt.Rows[0].ToString()))
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Command(commands => commands.Select()).Title("Select");
        foreach (System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn in dt.Columns)
        {
            columns.Bound(dataColumn.DataType, dataColumn.ColumnName)
                .ClientTemplate("Data: <#= " + dataColumn.ColumnName + "#>");
        }
    }).Selectable()
        )

Can you please suggest the way out for it?

Thanks !!!

Hello Rajesh,

It seems like you've missed the binding part of your grid configuration. For your convenience I am attaching sample app.

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for providing a sample code.

I tried to implement my code according to yours but didn't get any success. I am currently using MVC 3. 

 foreach (System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn in Model.Data.Columns)
                    {
}

Still facing the same error. I get the run time generated columns and corresponding data in Model.data, Runtime generated columns can be seen in the header as well but couldn't get the data in grid. 

is this related to client side and server side binding?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks !!!

Hello Rajesh Ramanathan,

 We are not sure what went wrong. Could you modify the attached project so it fails the same way as yours?
