Am I correct in saying that the grid calls the Read operation on its datasource by default?  I am looking at some examples and I can't see where there is an explicit call to read the data from the datasource.  If I am right, is there a way to prevent that and wait for the user to initiate the load?

Thanks

Hello Joel,

Yes, you are right that the Read operation of the dataSource is called by default. If you want to prevent it, you should set the AutoBind(false) option in the Grid configuration and invoke it manually when needed.

E.g.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ProductViewModel>()   
    .Name("Grid")
    .AutoBind(false)
    ...
)

var grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");
grid.dataSource.read();
