Data source for grid not working

[Alex]

HI Telerik Team,

 I am trying to populate grid using datasource. but the grid is not populating

 

asmx

 [WebMethod]
        [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
        public string GetTasks1()
        {
            JavaScriptSerializer theSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
               string result = "";
                List<rt_aw_user_task_details> resultList = new List<rt_aw_user_task_details>();

                AW_USER_TASK_DETAILS taskDetails = new AW_USER_TASK_DETAILS();
                taskDetails.Query.Load();

                resultList = taskDetails.ToRemotableList();

                var data = resultList.Select(i => new { i.seq_no, i.task_id, i.category }).ToList();
                result =  new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(data);
                return result;
        }​

aspx page

  $(document).ready(function () {​

            var tasksDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                type: "json",
                serverFiltering: true, serverPaging: true,  serverSorting: true,  pageSize: 10,
                transport: {
                    read: {
                        datatype: "json",
                        type: "POST",
                        url: "Service/MyTasks.asmx/GetTasks"
                    }
                }
            });

            tasksDataSource.read();

            $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                dataSource: tasksDataSource,
                height: 400,
                groupable: true,
                sortable: true,
                pageable: {
                    refresh: true,
                    pageSizes: true,
                    buttonCount: 5
                },
                columns: [{
                    field: "seq_no",
                    title: "CATEGORY"
                }, {
                    field: "task_id",
                    title: "FREQUENCY"
                }, {
                    field: "category",
                    title: "ISANYTIME",
                }]
            });

      });

 The grid is not loading.......

Is there anything i am missing??

 

and the service returns the following data

[{ "seq_no": 2, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" }, { "seq_no": 3, "task_id": 92, "category": "Report To Review" },
                { "seq_no": 4, "task_id": 99, "category": "Meeting" }, { "seq_no": 5, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" },
                { "seq_no": 6, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" }, { "seq_no": 7, "task_id": 93, "category": "Report To Send" },
                { "seq_no": 8, "task_id": 99, "category": "Meeting" }, { "seq_no": 9, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" },
                { "seq_no": 10, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" }, { "seq_no": 11, "task_id": 99, "category": "Meeting" }]

 

But it is working when I give the data directly

 

var tasksDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                data: [
                { "seq_no": 2, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" }, { "seq_no": 3, "task_id": 92, "category": "Report To Review" },
                { "seq_no": 4, "task_id": 99, "category": "Meeting" }, { "seq_no": 5, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" },
                { "seq_no": 6, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" }, { "seq_no": 7, "task_id": 93, "category": "Report To Send" },
                { "seq_no": 8, "task_id": 99, "category": "Meeting" }, { "seq_no": 9, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" },
                { "seq_no": 10, "task_id": 96, "category": "Task" }, { "seq_no": 11, "task_id": 99, "category": "Meeting" }]
            });

            tasksDataSource.read();​

Hi Alex,

Please remove the type setting for the dataSource. Also make sure that the server operations are configured as described in the following article. Note that the schema.total should be set when serverPaging is true.
