I have a Web API that is being hosted on one server. The actual website using kendo is hosted on a different server. Looking at samples, for the grid I have to provide a model like this:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Something.Account)
.Name("grid")
...
However, the model is on the other server. I guess I could copy over the dll with the model but that does not sound like a good approach. Isn't there somehow a way to do this dynamically by accessing the WebApi, discover the columns and then render them or something like that, hence the model would not be required.

Hi Rob,
Basically I would suggest to create new ViewModel in current project which to contain the needed fields that are returned from the WebApi.
Also it's possible to generate the Grid columns based on the received data, however it will require custom code and in this case you should use Kendo UI grid instead of the MVC wrappers. For convenience I created small example which demonstrates such setup:
