Grid - Popup Editor

[Bruce]

Trying to implement the popup editor as per http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/editing-popup

I already have grid displaying data (index.cshtml) but now not sure how to incorporate the .cshtml and .cs "files" displayed on this page.

First question is, why is there only one .cshtml page but multiple controllers on the .cs page?  Is there supposed to be just one .cshtml page and I should place everything in it (in this case index.cshtml)?

Thanks,

Hello Bruce,


I answered the question in the support thread on the same topic. Let me know if the answer was helpful or I could provide further assistance?

Hi Dimiter,

I'm looking at the example code in the example project (C:\Program Files\Telerik\UI for ASP.NET MVC Q2 2014\wrappers\aspnetmvc\Examples\VS2012\Kendo.Mvc.Examples.sln)

1. Is "Editing_PopupController.cs" the controller for http://localhost:56541/razor/grid/editing-popup?  When I click on the <Add new record> and <Edit> buttons the pop-up appears but the code execution is not stopping at the breakpoints I have set in the methods on that page.

2. Also, when I select 'Go To View' I get the message "Unable to find matching view"

3. In the controller I see the method EditingPopup_Read() which returns "Json(productService.Read().ToDataSourceResult(request));"  How do I set up my _Read() method?  Here is my Index() method:

     public ActionResult Index()
     {
         SpreadMasterEntities contextDM = new SpreadMasterEntities();
         var phonebook = contextDM.tbl_spm_phonebook;

         return View(phonebook.ToList());
     }

Thanks again!

Hello Bruce,


I will go straight to the questions:

1. Yes, this is the correct controller for the PopUp editing demo. If the project is started in debug mode, the break points in the Action methods should be hit.
2. The corresponding Views are placed in the Areas/razor (or aspx)/Views/grid/
3. I would suggest to run through the following getting started pages - Ajax Binding and Ajax Editing. They will demonstrate in a step-by-step manner how to configure an editable Ajax Grid. The same tutorial could be found for a server bound Grid - Server Binding and Server Editing.

I hope this information helps.
