dataSource: {data: xxx} vs datasource: xxx

[Cliff Gibson]

I've got a json datasource and if I bind to my grid using:

{dataSource: Currencies, columns...etc} then it works OK. however if I use:

{dataSource: {data: Currencies, pageSize: 20}, columns...etc} then it does not work.

Can anyone confirm what I'm doing wrong in the second example, which is how most of the demos work...?

Cheers
Cliff

Hello,

Both approaches should be identical. The first is a shortcut for the second. The grid internally creates a instance of the Kendo DataSource using the configuration specified via the dataSource setting. Here is a live demo showing this in action: http://jsbin.com/epetiw/1/edit

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I still can't get this working so will wrap the project up and post if that is OK?

Cheers

Hello,

 Do you see any JS errors? They would indicate what the problem is.

 You could attach a sample project which we can run locally to reproduce the issue.
