How to detect Kendo Grid MVC initial binding on controller

[Luciano Kaesemodel]

I have a Kendo grid :        

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyVm>().Name("grid").Columns(columns =>
      ...
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.Id))
            .Read(read => read.Action("List", "MyController", new { id = Model.Id }).Type(HttpVerbs.Get)))

On my controller I have :   

public JsonResult List([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, int id)
    {
         //if (FIRST/INITIAL LOADING) ?????
         ...
    }

How can I check on controller if its the initial loading/binding?

Thanks

Hello Luciano,

There isn't a way of detecting whether this is the first request of the Grid whiting the controller. This controller method can also be requested from other parts of the application.
