Grid Batch Editing

[Michael]

I am using the Kendo Grid Batch Editing Tool. I do not want to use the create button. I want to save(create) the records if the do not exist and if they do exist I want to update the records.

This should all be performed under the update function.

Basically I want to combine the following lines of code somehow:

xxx.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Added;
xxx.Entry(entity).State = EntityState.Modified;

Hi Michael,

 
You can achieve the desired behavior in the following way: 

• Define toolbar template:

  toolbar: "<a href='javascript: void(0)' onclick='createOrUpdateRow()' title='button create'>button create/save</a>",

• Define "createOrUpdateRow" function: 

  function createOrUpdateRow() {
      grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid");
  
      //check if Grid contains not saved records then save changes:
      var data = grid.dataSource.view();
      for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
          if (data[i].isNew()) {
              grid.saveChanges();
              return;
          }
      }
  
      //if no new records are available create one
      grid.addRow();
  }
