Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could tell me whether I have found a bug, or am using the MVC Grid wrong. I have created a copy of dynamic objects in the controller :

List<dynamic> data = new List<dynamic>();

dynamic item1 = new ExpandoObject();

item1.FirstName = "First1";

item1.SecondName = "Second1";

dynamic item2 = new ExpandoObject();

item2.FirstName = "First2";

item2.SecondName = "Second2";

data.Add(item1);

data.Add(item2);

and I also created a couple of columns to display the information in the grid

var columns = new[]

{

new GridColumnSettings { Member = "FirstName", Width = "130px", Title="First" },

new GridColumnSettings { Member = "SecondName", Width = "130px", Title="Second" }

};

I then placed these into my ViewModel

viewModel.Data = data;

viewModel.Columns = columns;

where viewModel is

public class MyViewModel

{

public List<dynamic> Data { get; set; }

public IEnumerable<GridColumnSettings> Columns { get; set; }

}

then this is past to the page and the grid as :

<%: Html.Telerik().Grid( Model.Data )

.Name("Grid")

.Sortable()

.Scrollable()

.Pageable()

.Columns(Model.Columns)

%>

I then get the following error at runtime
Invalid property or field - 'FirstName' for type: Object

If somebody could help me and let me know where I'm going wrong that would be brilliant.

Stephan
