[Solved] Grid row count with Ajax binding

[Jane]

Hello, 

how can I access grid row count with Ajax binding? 
I need to display total in a footer, see code snippet below.   The total has to update on insert and delete.   

With server binding, there is @Model.Count().  How can I do the same thing with Ajax binding?

thank you!

                .Ajax()
                .Select("_AjaxBinding", "ContractMonth")
                .Insert("_AjaxInsert", "ContractMonth")
                .Update("_AjaxUpdate", "ContractMonth")
                .Delete("_AjaxDelete", "ContractMonth")
                )
            .DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(c => c.Id))
            .ToolBar(commands => commands.Insert())
            .Columns(columns =>
            {
                columns.Bound(o => o.StartDate).EditorTemplateName("Date").FooterTemplate(@<text>@Model.Count()</text>);

Excellent answer here: 
StackOverflow answer

.Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(o => o.StartDate)
               .EditorTemplateName("Date")
               .Aggregate(aggregates => aggregates.Count())
               .FooterTemplate(@<text>@item.Count</text>)
               .ClientFooterTemplate("<#= Count #>");
    }
