Grid - Refresh every X seconds + ASPNETCore examples

[Doug Odegaard]

I am wondering if anyone has experience with refreshing a grid (no paging involved) on an interval.  I would like to refresh every 60 seconds but interested in making it as transparent as possible to the user.  I am doing my reads from an API endpoint with JSON returns therefore wondering about the use of .read() or .sync() and preference.  This is a read-only grid.  I am using the jQuery Kendo grid with ASP.NET Core MVC project.

In addition if you have any examples of web sockets or using ASP.NET Core early releases of SignalR with an ASP.NET Core MVC site that would be amazing.

Thanks.

Hello Doug,

I can suggest checking our demo examples demonstrating how the Grid can be used with SignalR and with WebSockets:

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/signalr

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/web-socket

Also, for better demonstrating how the Grid will handle if it receives a new data every 60 seconds, I made a small example which is changing the Grid data every 1 second. Depending on the pageSize using a 60 seconds interval should not cause any performance issues:

I hope this is helpful.

Can you please help with which service is actually used in  Kendo UI Demp Service for Web Sockets.  Is there a demo project that has web-sockets + Grid so I can see how it works?

This example uses the Kendo UI Demos Service as a back-end.

The full source code is available on GitHub.

Hello, K,

The implementation of the WebSocket service is in JavaScript and it can be found in this archived repository:

https://github.com/telerik/kendoui-ws-demo 

The app.js file handles the requests and the Demo showcases how you can implement it on the front-end.

Best Regards,

Georgi
