Hi Leo,
In general, the Kendo UI MVVM initialization is not designed to be combined with the Kendo UI server wrappers. In most cases combining server wrappers and MVVM is not needed. The recommended/cleaner approach when using MVVM is to initialize widgets with
the markup initialization without using the server wrappers.
However, a data-bind attribute is also possible to be added when widget is initialized with the MVC HtmlHelpers by using the HtmlAttributes option:
In addition to the above, please refer to
the MVVM Overview Documentation for additional information and examples.
