grid.dataSource.read() isn't making a request to refresh the grid data

[Josh]

I have an upload widget outside the grid asynchronously uploading files. Upon completion I try to refresh the grid displaying details about these files. However, when I call grid.dataSource.read() the grid datasource is not making a request to the remote service to get new data. I already set cache=false in the transport. I even try to call the read() method in the browser (chrome) console and it still doesn't cause a request to the remote service. Can you see what is wrong?

001.$(document).ready(function() {
002.    var $grid = $("#samples-all").kendoGrid({
003.        dataSource: {
004.            transport: {
005.                read: "/uploads/",
006.                dataType: "json",
007.                create: {
008.                  /* don't cache grid items, otherwise miss new uploads */
009.                  cache: false
010.                }
011.            },

Hi Joshua,

The cache: false is set on the create, not read transport. Please try the following:

transport: {
    read: {
        url: "/uploads/",
        dataType: "json",
        /* don't cache grid items, otherwise miss new uploads */
        cache: false
    }
},

I hope this will help.

Since there is a cache issue, How  can I set below code with Asp.net MVC wrapper?
 transport: {
read: {
cache: false
}
}

Hi Balu,

I am afraid that you cannot customize the Ajax request settings through the MVC wrappers. As a possible workaround I suggest you to use jQuery.ajaxSetup.
