CrudOperationBuilderBase error

[Andy Macourek]

I am trying to add a data parameter to a grid read:

.Read(read => read.Action("NotesRead", "Server").Data(ViewBag.ServerId))

I have the controller as:

public ActionResult NotesRead([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request, string ServerId)

it is throwing the following error:

The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.CrudOperationBuilderBase<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.CrudOperationBuilder>.Data(System.Func<object,object>)' and 'Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.CrudOperationBuilderBase<Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.CrudOperationBuilder>.Data(string)'

Hello Andy,

The fluent builder transport operation Data method is used to give the name of a JavaScript function which result will be send as additional data to the server. 

The same is covered in the FAQ here:
