datasource.read()

[Kakone]

Hello,

Normally, if I look at the documentation, the datasource will not contain any data until a read is called. But, in my program, I don't call the read() method and the datasource is filled. How can I disable this automatic reading ?

Cordially,
Kakone.

Hi Kakone,

I suspect that there are KendoUI widget(s) attached to the DataSource in question. As you may know KendoUI widgets will automatically populate themselves during initialization, thus they will populate the DataSource if it is not already populated. In order to disable this automatic binding behavior you should set widget's autoBind options to false.

Hi,

In fact, I use a Kendo UI Mobile ListView. Apparently, there is no autobind option with the mobile listview. So, the datasource is always populated ;-(

Cordially,
Kakone.

Hello Kakone,

Unfortunately, you are correct, currently there is not such options for our mobile widgets. However, we will consider adding this for a future version of the library.
