[Solved] Getting the model object in a Custom Binding Grid Ajax Controller.

[Juan Pablo Perez]

I'm using the a custom binding grid in a View. The model contains some values to filter the data of the grid. The problem is that I can't get the value in the Ajax Controller of the Custom Binding Grid.

Here is part of the code:

View:

<%=Html.Telerik().Grid<tfnGetAllMastersCountriesResult>()
    .Name("Grid")
    .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(o => o.Code).Width(100);
            columns.Bound(o => o.ISO3Code).Width(100);
            columns.Bound(o => o.CDH).Width(100);
            columns.Bound(o => o.Description).Width(400);
            columns.Bound(o => o.DisabledDate).Width(100);
            columns.Bound(o => o.Id)
            .ClientTemplate(
                "<input type='button' value='Edit' onclick='updateRecord(\"<#= Id#>\")' />")
            .Title("Commands");
        }
    )
    .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax()
        .Select("AjaxGrid", "Countries",  new { model = Model } )
    )
    .Pageable(settings => settings
        .PageSize(Model.PageSize)
        .Total(Model.Total)
        .PageTo(Model.Page)
    )
    .EnableCustomBinding(true)
    .Sortable()
    .Filterable()
    .Scrollable()
%>

Controller:

[GridAction(EnableCustomBinding = true)]
public ActionResult AjaxGrid(GridCommand command, ViewModelCountries model)
{
    return Json(new GridModel
                    {
                        Data = GetModels(command),
                        Total = _repository.Count
                    });
}

The value of model parameters is always null. Could anybody tell what is the way to get this.

Thank you very much.

I'm pretty sure you can't. If you need values you'll have to do some client side coding:
