Question around grouping. I've noticed that when the grid's read happens it calls the assigned web method as you would expect. What I have noticed that the code below produced two different results. One for grouped data and another type for all other grid alterations (filters and sorts).
Sample code:
Dim temp As IQueryable = grid.ToDataSourceResult(request).Data.AsQueryable
No grid alterations or filtering or sorting the data type of the above object is:
System.Linq.EnumerableQuery(Of myDataType)
Apply one or more groups and the data type becomes:
System.Linq.EnumerableQuery(Of Kendo.Mvc.Infrastructure.AggregateFunctionsGroup)
Why does this happen? Have we implemented something incorrectly?

This behavior is expected when the ServerOperation option is enabled. Basically, the Grid expected the grouping to be performed on the server-side, and this is exactly what the ToDataSourceResult method does.

Thanks for the reply.
What I am wondering is there a way to get all the rows out of result without having to recursively navigate through the nested groups?
I am afraid this is not possible when the data has been grouped.
