                    var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                        dataSource: {
                            type: "odata",
                            transport: {
                                read: "/Controls/GetProductList"
                            },
                            pageSize: 15,
                            serverPaging: true,
                            serverSorting: true,
                            serverFiltering: true
                        },
                        toolbar: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
                        height: 450,
                        sortable: true,
                        pageable: true,
                        columns: [
                            { field: "ProductID", width: 100 },
                            { field: "ProductName", title: "Product Name" },

Hi Daniel,

Basically the type configuration option of the DataSource loads transport with preconfigured settings and currently supports only the odata type. For more information about the odata type I would suggest to check the OData documentation.

For more information about the available grid configuration options you can check it's API.

Also I would suggest to use the KendoUI Grid for ASP.NET MVC HtmlHelper instead of KendoUI Grid for Web .

this way,doesn't work the grid?declared in javascript and get data from server via mvc?
because i still do not understand i'm not causing any dependency,all i do,is send some data from the server in json format.
Any way,the bottom line is that i want to implement the example of toolbar template from the web demos,and because my data is not coming from that web service that you use,i did my own data source, returning via MVC action in json format.all i want is to make that example work.what are the solutions?


Best Regards,
Daniel

HI Daniel,

 
For convenience I prepared small demo of KendoUI for ASP.NET MVC Grid with toolbar template and attached it to the current thread.

ok, now i undestand,with javascript is oData and webservices
with mvc,is mvc style.i want it,to be more client-side,only the data get it from the server.
usually with jquery and mvc,i used to mix the things depending on where the value came from,and still working.

Thank you very much for the example.
