Grid showing no records after sort

[Andrew]

I have a simple Kendo UI grid setup for serverside processing which displays some employee information.  The grid displays just fine when i first load the view but as soon as you click on a column to sort it refreshes and just gives me an empty grid.  The Action is firing each time a column header is click and is returning the correct amount of records to the view.  See my code below:

View:

@ModelType List(Of ConnectEntities.Employee)

@Code
    ViewData("Title") = "CompanyDirectory"
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_HomeLayout.vbhtml"

End Code


    <div class="row">

        <div class="col-md-12">
            <div class="panel panel-primary">
                <div class="panel-heading">
                    <h4>Company Directory</h4>

                </div>
                <div class="panel-body">
                    @Code
                        Html.Kendo.Grid(Of ConnectEntities.Employee)() _
                                                    .Name("employeeDirectory") _
                                                    .BindTo(DirectCast(ViewData("employees"), IEnumerable(Of ConnectEntities.Employee))) _
                                    .Columns(Sub(c)
                                                 c.Bound(Function(p) p.FirstName_AD).Sortable(True)
                                                 c.Bound(Function(p) p.LastName_AD)
                                                 c.Bound(Function(p) p.JobTitle_AD)
                                                 c.Bound(Function(p) p.PhoneNumber_AD)

                                             End Sub) _
                                                                                     .DataSource(Sub(d)
                                                                                                     d.Server() _
                                                                                                     .Read(Function(read) read.Action("Person_Read", "Home"))

                                                                                                 End Sub) _
                                                                                     .Sortable() _
                                                                                     .Filterable() _
                        .Render()



                    End Code


                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

 

Controller Code:

Function CompanyDirectory() As ActionResult

 

    Dim employees As List(Of ConnectEntities.Employee)

 

    Using connectDB As New ConnectEntities.ConnectEntities

        employees = connectDB.Employees.ToList

    End Using

 

    ViewData("employees") = employees

 

    Return View()

 

 

End Function

 

Public Function Person_Read() As ActionResult

 

 

    Dim employees As List(Of ConnectEntities.Employee)

 

    Using connectDB As New ConnectEntities.ConnectEntities

        employees = connectDB.Employees.ToList

    End Using

 

    Return View("CompanyDirectory", employees)

 

 

End Function
