Grid Datasource counts (with filters) without rendering the grid.

[jerome]

Kendo grid with kendo buttons above it which are associated with different Json grid settings (i.e column Filters).
I need to show the row counts for each of these different grid filters inside the buttons so the user understands how many rows these options will contain.  What is the most efficient way to apply the grid filters and get a count against the DataSource without rendering the grid?

 

Merci

The answer was to save out the grid filters separate from the json grid settings.

 var grid = $("#mygridID").data("kendoGrid");

 var filters = grid.dataSource.transport.parameterMap({ filter: grid.dataSource.filter() });

 

Then i persisted the string to the db or session.

Then i wrote a dll which i called from my page.

  DataSourceRequest r = new DataSourceRequest();
 r.Filters = FilterDescriptorFactory.Create(strFilterSettings);

** populate results here

results.ToDataSourceResult(r).Total;
