How to avoid the automatic zero value in a Kendo int textbox from Grid Edit screen or inline edit?

[Ed]

I am using asp.net mvc kendo tools. I have a int property from my c# model side, see below:

 

public class MyModel

{

[Required]

public int MyIntField {get;set;

}

 

in the view side I am adding the column using Kendo Grid selector
...

.Columns(c => c.Bound(my=>my.MyIntField))

...

 

That field always shows with zero when an edit popup screen is called. How can I avoid that still keeping the automatic required UI validations and without messy changing the DOM directly using javascript?
I'm looking for a kendo selector solution or a c# attribute side solution. But maybe I am asking for too much.

thanks

Hello Ed,

Could you please review and modify the attached solution to reproduce the problem you are experiencing? I will then be able to test it and see what is causing the behavior.

Normally you can change the editor for a column through the column.editor configuraiton. Here is a small example for reference.

Let me know if the above was helpful.
