[Solved] Controller action hit twice when calling .read()

[Flores]

Hi Kendo team,

I am having a strange issue with a datasource that is feeding some charts.
The datasource looks like this:

var chartDs = new kendo.data.DataSource({

            transport: {

                read: {

                    url: "Export/GetReportHistory",

                    type: "POST",

                    dataType: "json",

                    data: {

                        numberOfMonths: function () {

                            return $("#chartTimeFrame").val();

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        });

This is works fine as it is, but when the page is loaded (document.ready) my server action (MVC3) is hit twice.
That means data is returned twice and the chart animation is run twice :-\

A dropdownlist on my page reloads the charts based on different data, when this event is triggerd, the server is also hit twice in a row displaying the behavior described above.

$("#chartTimeFrame").change(function () {

            $("#reportChart").data("kendoChart").dataSource.read();

            $("#damageChart").data("kendoChart").dataSource.read();

            $("#defectChart").data("kendoChart").dataSource.read();

        });

I can't seem to find the source of the problem so I hope you can help me out :-( (and it makes the charts animations look strange bouncing up and down when they are reloaded).

Update:
It seems this has been asked before (I should have searched a little further before posting)

Sorry for double posting :-(

Please note, in my case this double posting ended up being a javascript call to change the page followed by a read call.  The read call is redundant as setting the grid's page will already cause it to requery data.
From:
grid.dataSource.page(1);
grid.dataSource.read();
To:
grid.dataSource.page(1);
