Fire action from custom command column in Client details template

[Shannon]

I have a custom command button in a Client template that I want to fire a specific action.  I only want to fire the action. I do not want to redirect/render another View.  This is being done inside of a grid hierarchy.  Also, the action needs access to my model. Code for the template is below

<script id="myTemplate" type="text/kendo-tmpl">

<%: Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>()

     .Name("ThisGrid")

     .Columns(columns =>

     {

        columns.Bound(n => n.value)

                      .Title("Col1")

                      .Width(100);

        columns.Bound(n => n.IsEnabled)

                      .Width(100)

                      .ClientTemplate(

                          "# if (IsEnabled) { #" +

                               "Yes" + "#} else {#" +

                               "No" + "#}#");

        columns.Command(command => command.Custom(

                 "# if(IsEnabled) { #" +

                      "Disable" +

                      "#} else { #" +

                      "Enable" +

                      "#}#").Click("updateModel")).Width(40);

     })

     .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

              .Ajax()

              .Read(read => read.Action(

                       "Binding_Model", "MyController")))

             .Pageable()

             .Sortable()

             .ToClientTemplate()

%>

Hi Shannon,

Basically you should use the jQuery Post method inside the "updateModel" click handler to send the current row dataItem to the action:

function updateModel(element) {
    var currentRow = $(element.srcElement).closest("tr");
    var currentdataItem = $("#Grid").data().kendoGrid.dataItem(currentRow);
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'home/create',
        data: currentdataItem.toJSON()
    });
}

Kind Regards,
