Grid read action misuse the ApiController

[Chris]

HI

Why the Grid read action (include javascript grid.dataSource.read() function use "api" url ???

ERROR : POST http://localhost:31466/api/AppM010/GetSomeList 415 (Unsupported Media Type)

View

.Read(read => read.Action("GetSomeList", "AppM010").Data("..."))

Javascript

grid.dataSource.read() 

There have Controller/ApiController with the same class/method name and different namespace in application : 

  namespace App1.ApiControllers
  {
    [ApiController]
    [ProducesAttribute("application/json"]
    [Route("api/{controller}/{action}")]
    public class AppM010Controller : BaseController
    {
        public AppM010Controller()
        {
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public IList<TSomeView> GetSomeList(...)
        {

  namespace App1.Controllers
  {
    public class AppM010Controller : Controller
    {
        public AppM010Controller()
        {
        }

        public ActionResult GetSomeList([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request, ...)
        {


*Don't ask me change the Controller/ApiController or method name.

Nobody knows there have the [ApiController] attribute for ApiController ?? 
I don't want any component action use the ApiController.

I think the component action got the wrong controller via action name only.
Not only the Grid, othere component is the same.

Fix this BUG as soon as possible, please.

Best regards

Chris

Hello,

The reason why "api" is added to the url is because a web api transport is used for a transport option of the DataSource definition of the Kendo UI Grid for ASP.NET Core. Please check the highlighted part of the code below: 

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.ProductViewModel>()
	  .Name("grid")
	  .Columns(columns =>
	  {
		  columns.Bound(p => p.ProductName);
		  columns.Bound(p => p.UnitPrice).Width(100);
		  columns.Bound(p => p.UnitsInStock).Width(100);
		  columns.Bound(p => p.Discontinued).Width(100);
		  columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); }).Width(250);
	  })
	  .ToolBar(tools =>
	  {
		  tools.Create();
	  })
	  .Sortable()
	  .Pageable()
	  .Filterable()
	  .DataSource(dataSource =>
		  dataSource
			.WebApi()
			.Model(model =>
			{
				model.Id(p => p.ProductID);
			})
.....		
	  )
)

You can use Ajax instead if the web api transport does not meet your needs.

HI

I forgot to note that my applicaton NEVER NEVER NEVER use dataSource.WebApi() method explicitly : 

    .DataSource(dataSource =>
    {
      dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Batch(true)
        .Model(model =>
        {
          ...
        })
        .ServerOperation(false)
        .Events(events =>
        {
          ...
        })
        .Read(read => read.Action("XXXX_Read", "AppM010").Data("..."))
        ...;
    })

Or Grid.DataSource will use WebApi() method implicitly ??? How to avoid that ?

Please test the component with .NET Core Web MVC Application COMPLETELY.

Best regards

Chris

Hello,

 

When I test locally with similar back-end configuration and Kendo UI Grid for ASP.NET Core in the view it works fine. I would suggest to try to rename the controller name just for testing purposes and let us know how that worked. 

If it is possible could you please send us a runnable sample project (controllers can return only static data) that replicates the problem. This way we can investigate the specific case. In order to attach a project you need to submit a support ticket instead of forum thread.
