[Solved] Grid bind to a ViewModel class?

[Kenny]

Hello all,
I have my data returned as IQueryable<T>, resides inside a ViewModel class, when I view the page, nothing got displayed inside the GridView, the code outside the GridView displays the same data just fine. Here are my codes:

SongViewModel.cs:

public class SongViewModel
{
    public NewestSongsModel NewestSongsModel { get; set; }
    public FeaturedSongsModel FeaturedSongsModel { get; set; }
}

public class NewestSongsModel
{
    public IQueryable<Song> NewestSongs { get; set; }
}

public class FeaturedSongsModel
{
    public IQueryable<Song> FeaturedSongs { get; set; }
}

My SongController.cs to populate the model:

var model = new SongViewModel
{
    NewestSongsModel = new NewestSongsModel { NewestSongs = sr.RetrieveLatestSongs(5) },
    FeaturedSongsModel = new FeaturedSongsModel { FeaturedSongs = sr.RetrieveFeaturedSongs(5) }
};

return View(model);

My View:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<NotesnhacWeb.Models.SongViewModel>" %>

<h2>

NEWEST SONGS</h2>

<% foreach (var song in Model.NewestSongsModel.NewestSongs)

{%>

<li>

<%= song.SongTitle%></li>

<% } %>

<h2>

FEATURED SONGS</h2>

<% foreach (var song in Model.FeaturedSongsModel.FeaturedSongs)

{ %>

<li>

<%= song.SongTitle%></li>

<%} %>

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.FeaturedSongsModel.FeaturedSongs)

.Name("FeaturedSongs")        .Render()

%>

In my foreach loop, I was able to access the "song" object, and display the SongTitle just fine.

Inside Telerik().Grid(), I've tried to add new column but intellisense won't work, and when I run the code as shown above, nothing got displayed.

Any idea where my problem might be? Thank you very much,
Kenny.

Hello Kenny,

This is due to a known issue with generic method resolution. Please modify the grid declaration like this:

Html.Telerik().Grid<Song>(Model.FeaturedSongsModel.FeaturedSongs)
