How to handle errors from OData Datasource in Grid?

[Adam]

I have a question of the recommended way to handle errors from the Kendo Grid when using an OData data source.

I understand that using a custom data source, you can use the schema.errors property to define the property in the data source that contains errors.

Does OData have a corresponding concept?  If not - is there a recommended way to handle errors from OData data sources?

Also - what does the grid do with any errors it receives?  Log them using the kendo log API or something else?

thanks,
Adam

Hello Adam,

Basically if exception is thrown on the server side when performing update you could override the HandleException like explain here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/writingdata_services/archive/2011/03/06/interesting-behavior-for-service-operation-exceptions.aspx

and override the Exception so you can have more detail information what exactly happened on the client side.

Of course on the client side you will need to handle the error event of the dataSource.

e.g.
c#

protected override void HandleException(HandleExceptionArgs args)
{
    args.Exception = new Exception("My custom exception");
    base.HandleException(args);
}

JavaScript:

error: function (e) {
    alert(JSON.parse(e.responseText).error.innererror.message);
 },
