Datasource called everytime I bind a dropdown list to it

[Shane P]

I have a kendo grid setup with its own datasource and within the databound event I am binding a dropdownlist to its own datasource.

The grid binds ok and the dropdown is populate ok however when I look in the network console I am seeing that the datasource is calling my service everytime a dropdown list is added.

How can I set this up to only call the service the single time as I don't want to be making extra calls to my api 

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

    transport: {

        read: {

            url: "/API/store/get",

            dataType: "json",

            data: function () {

                return {

                    businessId: $("#BusinessId").val()

                };

            }

        }

    }

});

var data = new kendo.data.DataSource({

    transport: {

        read: {

            url: "getoutlets",

            dataType: "json",

            data: function () {

                return {

                    businessId: $("#BusinessId").val()

                };

            }

 

        }

    }

});

 

$(document).ready(function () {

    $("#outlets").kendoGrid({

        sortable: true,

        dataSource: data,

        dataBound: function (e) {

            $(".dropdown").kendoDropDownList({

                dataTextField: "StoreName",

                dataValueField: "StoreId",

                dataSource: dataSource

            });

            

            console.log(e);

        },

        columns: [

            {

                field: "name",

                title: "Name (Supplier)"

            },

            {

                title: "Name",

                template: "<input class='dropdown' id\='#=id #' value\='#=MappedStoreId #'></input>"

            }

        ,

            {

                title: "",

                template: '<a href="\\#" class="green-button small" data-id\="#=id #">Update</a>',

                width: "110px"

 

            }

        ]

    //                rowTemplate: kendo.template($("#rowTemplate").html())

    });
