I am having problem connect to Web API CORE
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Kendo.Mvc.UI;
using Kendo.Mvc.Extensions;
using Example.API.Data;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using ExampleAPI.Models;
namespace Example.API.Controllers
{
[Produces("application/json")]
[Route("api/Activity")]
public class ActivityController : Controller
{
private readonly SampleContext _context;
public ActivityController(SampleContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
// GET: api/Activity
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<Activity> Read()
{
return _context.Activity.ToList();
}
}
}
the code above returns JSON string back , I can see it in the browser
http://localhost:49624/api/Activity
but my grid is empty

I found an example of Web API Core
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/grid/webapi
I replaced my HttpGet with:
[HttpGet]
public DataSourceResult Get([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
{
var result = _context.Activity.ToList();
return result.AsReadOnly().ToDataSourceResult(request);
}
A break point in the Get method never hit when I run it in the VS and I navigate in the browser to
http://localhost:49624/api/Activity
Thanks for your help

I am not sure why the debugger is not hit when debugging but I have suggestion on how to resolve the issue in regards of the blank grid.
If you inspect the result returned from the service of our online demo you will notice that it has the following format
{ "Data": [.... the data], "Total": 77, "AggregateResults": null, "Errors": null}Regards,
