Grid AJAX binding and paging

[Nikita]

I have a form that is used to search for people's names and display them in an Telerik MVC Grid. Grid uses Ajax binding and paging. I have a problem with paging. My situation is that when a user searches for names and the search returns say 3 pages of results. The user flips a page and performs a search again narrowing it down to say 1 page of the results, the grid refreshes but stays on the flipped page which shows up empty because again there is only 1 page of results. Is there a way to reset the paging after each search? I handle the searching explicitly on client side by calling $("#gridElement").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();

Any help is appreciated.

Hello Nikita,

To achieve the desired functionality you can try resetting the page manually just before filtering:

$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.page(1);

On the following link I attached a small example which demonstrates the described approach.
