Cascading Multi Select Issue

[Ajay]

Hi 

I am trying to Cascade a Multi select from a drop down list and am having issues getting the value of the dropdown list to pass into the controller.

My Drop down code is: 

 

    <h4 style="margin-top: 2em;">Sub Sub Category:</h4>
    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
          .Name("category3")
          .OptionLabel("Select Sub Sub Category")
          .DataTextField("Description")
          .DataValueField("Id")
          .DataSource(source =>
          {
              source.Read(read => { read.Action("GetCategory3", "CampaignSimple").Data("filterCategory3"); }).ServerFiltering(true);
          })
          .Enable(false)
          .AutoBind(false)
          .CascadeFrom("category2")
          .Events(e => e.Select("select"))
         

 )
    <script>
        function filterCategory3() {
            
            return {
                category2: $("#category2").val()
            };
        }
    </script>

 

And my MultiSelect code is:

    <h4 style="margin-top: 2em;">Ad Group</h4>
    @(Html.Kendo().MultiSelect()
          .Name("adgroup")
          .Placeholder("Select AdGroup")
          .DataTextField("Description")
          .DataValueField("Id")
          .DataSource(source =>
          {
              source.Read(read => { read.Action("GetAdGroups", "CampaignSimple").Data("filterAdGroups"); }).ServerFiltering(true);
          })
          .AutoBind(false)
          .Enable(false)

          )

    <script type="text/javascript">

        function filterAdGroups() {
 
        return {
            category3: $("#category3").val()
        };
    }

    function select(e) {
        var dropdownlist = $("#category3").data("kendoDropDownList");
        dropdownlist.select(e.item.index());

        var multiselect = $("#adgroup").data("kendoMultiSelect");
        multiselect.dataSource.read();
        multiselect.enable(true);
    };
    </script>

When I select an item from the drop down list it does go into the the controller method but the parameter is always null.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advanced

Hello,

Are you sure the parameter in the controller is named as in the filter function (in the MultiSelect's case "category3")? On my machine the GetAdGroups(string category3) method receives the correct Id of the selected item from the DropDownList.

If the parameter is named correctly and the problem persists, would you please isolate the problem in a sample runnable project and attach it in a support ticket?
