get List values on post

[steve]

I am not sure how to get the values from the sortable object on the post call.  Does the Viewmodel property have to match the <li> name or I the sortible object name 



               @(Html.Kendo().Sortable()
                        .For("#StandardsDirectives")
                        .ConnectWith("#MyStandardsDirectives")
                        .PlaceholderHandler("placeholder")
                        .Cursor("url('" + Url.Content("~/Content/Curser/closedhand.cur") + "'), default")
                    )

OR

                                       @if (!Equals(Model.Document, null))
                                        {
                                            foreach (var standard in Model.Document.MyStandardsDirectives)
                                            {
                                                <li class="list-item">@Html.Label(standard.Name)</li>
                                            }
                                        }

Hi Steve,

Could you please specify what do you mean by "the values from the sortable object"?

The Sortable widget does not support binding to DataSource and respectively does not load or save data from/to remote service. You should hook up to the change event of the widget and manually extract the values from the HTML.

What I meant was, the form hold the values for each control, how do I get the values for the list items that I have connected to the sortable control.  I will look into the change event but are the values not on the form? Seems like with the change event I would have to store the object in some object until I am ready to push my changes to the server.

Hello Stephen,

this is correct - you should use the change event to update the values of some hidden input fields to match the order of the items in case you need to submit them with a form. Several related code samples are available in the following help article.

Yes, that makes sense.  Thanks
