ChildActionOnly for grid datasource

[Talal]

I want to apply [ChildActionOnly] attribute to the action method used by kendo ui grid DataSource as in 

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource           
            .Ajax()
            .Read(read => read.Action("Read", "Conrtoller")) 

 

but when I apply [ChildActionOnly] to Read(), everytrhing stops working

Hello Talal,

The ChildActionOnly attribute ensures that an action method can be called only as a child method from within a view. This attribute prevents the action methods from being invoked as a result of a user request.

Thanks. But, how else do I ensure that this action method cannot be invoked via a URL.

Hello Talal,

By default the request's type to the server for read operation should be "POST". Invoking the method via URL should send a "GET" request to the server and throw an error eventually.

Please take a look at the attached example.
