Grid Ajax call on sorting

[Atanu]

I have a grid as below

@{

    Html.Kendo().Grid<InEnumerable........>()

    .Name("IniParamGrid")

    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%;" })

    .Events(events => events.DataBound("Grid_onRowDataBound"))

    .Events(events => events.Change("Grid_OnRowSelectUID"))  

    .AutoBind(false)

    .Columns(col =>

    {

        col.Bound("NP_PARAM_UID").Hidden();        

        col.Bound("PROCESS_GRP").Title("Process Group").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });

        col.Bound("PARAM_NAME").Title("Parameter Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });

        col.Bound("PARAM_VALUE").Title("Parameter Value").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });

        col.Bound("EXTERNAL_ID").Title("Table Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });

        col.Bound("EXTERNAL_FK").Title("Key Value").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center;" });

        col.Bound("DEL_FLG").Hidden();

    })

    .DataSource(dataBinding =>

    {

        dataBinding.Ajax().Read(read => read.Action("SrchDataIniParam", "Admin",

            new

                {

                    area = "Admin",

                    strParam1 = ViewBag.Param1

                }))

                .ServerOperation(false);

    })

    .Resizable(resizing => resizing.Columns(true))

    .Selectable() 

    .Reorderable(reorder => reorder.Columns(true))

    .Pageable()

    .Sortable()

    .Filterable()

    .Render();

}

Now the grid loads empty at starup which is ok. But if the user clicks the grid header then also the underlying controller action gets called which is not desirable. I want the grid to get populated on button click which its doing fine.

Please help me to find where I am going wrong.

Hi,

 This behavior is by design and cannot be prevented unless you disable sorting. Clicking the sort icon causes the grid to ask for data. As a result the action is called.
