Dropdownlist ajaxRequest

[Mohammed Adel]

hi all,
i was wondering how to make the dropdownlist update its data like in Telerik MVC.

// Gets the ComboBox
var drop = $("#Parent").data("tComboBox");
// Reload the ComboBox data
drop.reload();

Thanks in advance

Are you using Ajax binding (.DataSource(ds => ds.Ajax().Read(r => r.Action("JsonAction", "Controller")))?

If so you need to refresh the underlying dataSource object that feeds the DropDown like so:

// Get reference to Kendo DropDownList object

var dropDownList = $('#Parent').data('kendoDropDownList');

 

// Read new data from server

dropDownList.dataSource.read();

 

// Refresh drop down list items

dropDownList.refresh();
