Grid - toolbar.create - Calling the Read method and not calling the constructor

[michel]

I've created a basic grid, but when the Create is clicked in the toolbar, it seems like the Read-method is called on the controller. Besides this, the constructor of the DossierType is not called ?
Is there any api available that I can use to direct the grid to a specific method, used during the build of the entity ?

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<DossierType>()
        .Name("dossierTypes")
        .PrefixUrlParameters(false)
        .Columns(columns =>
            {
                columns.Bound(user => user.Sample);
            }
        )
        .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create().Text("Nieuw Dossiertype"))
        .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp))
        .BindTo(Model.Items)
        .DataSource(config => config
            .Server()
            .Model(modelConfig => modelConfig.Id(field => field.Id))
            .Create(create => create.Action("Create", "DossierType"))
            .Read(read => read.Action("Read", "DossierType"))
            .Update(update => update.Action("Update", "DossierType"))
            .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("Remove", "DossierType"))
        )
      )

Hi Michel,


When server binding is used, the Grid calls the Read action in order to render the Grid in edit mode, because the data is not serialized on the client side. After that it calls the corresponding Create or Update action according to the operation. If you would like to directly trigger the Create/Update action, I would suggest you to switch to Ajax binding.

I hope that this information was helpful for you. If you are still experiencing any issues, please send me a sample runnable project, where the issue is reproducing so I could inspect it locally and assist you further.
