Client Databinding using GET instead of POST

[Jason]

Hi

I have a pre-built restful webapi service that has the following method

[Route("list/openquotes"), HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage ListOpenQuotes()

 

when i try use it in a RadGrid, the default behaviour seems to be using the POST request method.

Is there a way to force the gird use use a HTTP GET instead?

This is the setup for the Grid

<ClientSettings >
    <DataBinding Location="SetByCode" SelectMethod="ui/list/openquotes" EnableCaching="false" ResponseType="JSON" CountPropertyName="Count" DataPropertyName="Data" />
</ClientSettings>

 

I have a RadListVIew that is using HTTP GET as follows:

<DataService Location="SetByCode" DataPath="/ui/list/notifications" EnableCaching="false" ResponseType="JSON" HttpMethod="Get" CountPropertyName="Count" DataPropertyName="Data" SortParameterType="List" />

Hi Jason,

I can offer three options you can consider:

• fetch the data with your own GET request and pass it as a JS array to the grid: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-binding/client-side/programmatic/defaultcs.aspx
• use a RadClientDataSource and set its DataSource.WebServiceDataSourceSettings.Select.RequestType to GET (basic example: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/data-binding/client-side/client-data-source-binding/defaultcs.aspx). The RadClientDataSource is a wrapper over the Kendo DataSource widget.
• use a Kendo data source (https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/configuration/transport.read#transport.read.type) and Kendo grid: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/remote-data-binding. Here's the one-line modification this requires: https://dojo.telerik.com/@bratanov/oxIwiFuw.
