Enum value not rendered in grid

[Daniel Blendea]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Grid inTelerik UI for ASP.NET Core with a remote datasource:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<DashboardEntry>()
.Name("dashboardGrid")
.Columns(columns =>
{

columns.Bound(p => p.Id).Width(50);
  columns.Bound(p => p.State).Width(100); --> Enum property

})
.AutoBind(false)
.DataSource(dataSource =>
dataSource
.Ajax()
.ServerOperation(true)
.Batch(true)
.PageSize(20)
.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.Id))
.Read(read =>
read.Url("http://localhost:5000/dashboard/entries")
.Type(HttpVerbs.Get))
.Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
)
)

The json from server looks like this:

{

Data:[

{0: {Id: 22041, State: "Draft" },

{0: {Id: 22042, State: "Complete" }

],

Total: 2

}

Practically, the enum is actually a string, thanks to a StateConverter : JsonConverter.

But nothing is rendered/displayed in the State column.

How can I make it work?

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

The Enum is a key-value pair. And the grid is able to consume enumerations out-of-the-box. I am attaching a sample project to this response with a grid. One of its fields is bound to an Enum and it is shown automatically.

public enum AlertActive
{
    All = 0,
    Inactive = 1,
    Active = 2
}

Give it a try and let me know in case the issue is still present.


Best regards,

Ok, thank you.

The enum is bound and displayed correctly.

My datasource is a REST service, and I was processing the enums so they are also displayed nicely in the existing UI.

But with Telerik that processing is no longer necessary.
