Fetch does not update the data object??? Purpose?

[Rich]

Hi All,

I am attempting to use Fetch in a change event for a combobox to update another combobox. Read works fine for the 2nd combobox's collection but when using fetch the data object for the second datasource does NOT update.

$("#comboOne").width(180).kendoComboBox({
        autoBind: false,
        dataTextField: "Name",
        dataValueField: "Id",
        dataSource: dsComboOne,
        change: function (e) {
            //dsComboTwo.read();
            dsComboTwo.fetch(function () {
                if (dsComboOne.total() == 0) {
                    //do stuff to DOM
                } else {
                    //do different stuff to DOM
                }
            });

            $("#comboTwo").data("kendoComboBox").value(null);
            $("#comboTwo").data("kendoComboBox").enable(true);
        }
    });


So calling dsComboTwo.read() works as expected. Calling dsComboTwo.fetch() does not actually update the dsComboTwo.data object. When i run a watch and break in the callback i can see the dsComboTwo.data is the same as the previous/initial call.

Is there some other way to do this? Callback on the datasource i am missing? The success: callback in the DS also does not seem to work. No error.. just does not fire. Same with the change: . Can someone clarify this with an example? I've seen variations of this question elsewhere.

You can do a callback on the fetch, don't know if this helps

var MyDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

                    type: "odata",

                    transport: {

                        read: {

                            url: "http://MyServer/MyserWCFService.svc/MyEntity",

                            dataType: 'jsonp',

                            jsonpCallback: 'MyCallback'

                        }

                    }

     

            });

             

        if (sessionStorage.getItem('CustomerFilter'))

            {

            MyDataSource .filter({

                filters: [

                  { field: "CustName", operator: "startswith", value: sessionStorage.getItem('CustomerFilter') }

                ]

            });

            MyDataSource.fetch(fetchCallback);

            }

 

function fetchCallback() {

             

            if (MyDataSource.total() > 0)

The Callback added to the URL isn't the one that triggers when you do a fetch, you can specify one there so one isn't automatically generated which can cause performance issues.

You can also specify a callback when defining the Datasource, can't remember of the top of my head.

Total will return 0 if your using server paging.

Don't know if this is of any help.
