Get values from telerik multiselect in C# instead of javascript

[Ric]

I have the following multi select from telerik on my asp.net mvc project

<div class="demo-section user-selection">
    <h3 class="title">Select customers</h3>
        @(Html.Kendo().MultiSelect()
      .Name("customers")
      .DataTextField("givenName")
      .DataValueField("description")
      .Placeholder("No users selected")
      .Events(events => events.Change("TestFunc"))
      .DataSource(source =>
      {
          source.Read(read =>
          {
              read.Action("GetCustomers", "Home");
          });
      })
      .Height(300)
                //.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 400px" })
                      .HeaderTemplate("
    <div class=\"dropdown-header\">" +
                            "
        <span class=\"k-widget k-header\">Photo</span>" +
                            "
        <span class=\"k-widget k-header\">Contact info</span>" +
                        "
    </div>")
                              .ItemTemplate("
    <span class=\"k-state-default\">
        <img class=\"userPhoto\" src=\"" + Url.Content("http://yarris.design/images/userCentered.png") + "\" />
    </span>" +
                                        "
    <span class=\"k-state-default\">
        <h3>#: data.givenName #</h3>
        <p>#: data.description #</p>
    </span>")
                              .TagTemplate("
    <img class=\"tag-image\" src=\"" + Url.Content("http://yarris.design/images/userCentered.png") + "\" alt=\"\" />" +
                                  "#: data.givenName #")
        )

</div>

Everytime someone is selected i want to do some operations, right now im reading the selected with this javascript

 

function TestFunc() {

var multiselect = $("#customers").data("kendoMultiSelect");

// get data items for the selected options.
var dataItem = multiselect.dataItems();
console.log(dataItem);

}

I would like to know how can i read it in my HomeController.cs instead.

Hello Ric,

 

Kendo UI is a exclusively a client side framework. Even though it offers the MVC wrappers, it runs on the client, therefore there are not server events or methods that you can use for this requirements.
