Grid / Binding to remote data - JSON example

[John G]

Is there a demo showing the exact same functionality at this link http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/remote-data.html 
using JSON instead of ODATA?

I would like to implement this in ASP.NET MVC 3, WCF, and EF 4.3 using JSON

Hello John,

We have some code library examples with Kendo UI Grid using JSON. Please check the following links:

• Kendo UI Grid bound to ASP.NET MVC action methods - CRUD operations;
• Kendo UI Grid WCF - CRUD

I hope this helps.

Hi Iliana

This project seems to fall into the 'sledge-hammer to crack a nut' category!

I think what we need is an example of binding to a web API which returns a JSON dataset.
We only need the KendoUI client-side code in a simple project.

Hi Garry,

Please check the following resources:
- Web API binding 
- Using Kendo UI With ASP.NET WebAPI

Also you can find a working example in the demos folder from the distribution package:
....\Kendo.Mvc.Examples\Areas\razor\Views\web\grid

Thanks Iliana for the first two resource links above.
The 3rd one is not relevant to my earlier comment  - I do not, and have no intention of using MVC or Razor which both encourage spaghetti coding practices resulting in completely un-maintainable code bases.
