How to set up initial page number in MVC Razor?

[Gilmor]

Hi

I need to set up initial page number for kendo grid on my MVC Razor form. In previous telerik.mvc grid component I could do somethink like that:

@Html.Telerik().Grid(Model).Name( ... ). 

        Columns( ... ).

        Pageable(o =>

                     {

                         o.Enabled(true);

                         o.PageSize(30);

                         o.PageTo(5);

                     }).

        EnableCustomBinding(true).

        DataBinding(...).

        Render();

        }

But in Kendo, Pageablebuilder doesn't contains any more PageSize and PageTo functions.

"PageSize" I can set with DataSource binding, but what with "PageTo". Where can I set it in Kendo?

Hi, I need assistance with this as well please.

Is there a PageTo function for the Kendo server-side wrapper for Grid? Or is there an alternate way to specify the initial page?

You can specify current page in data source. In my case, with custom AJAX binding:

@{

    var pageNum = Model.PageNumber;      

    var pageSize = Model.PageSize;

    var requiredMinCount = pageNum*pageSize;

      

    Html.Kendo().Grid<...>()

        ...

        .DataSource(

            db => 

                db.Ajax()

                    .Read("GridDataBinding", "Correspondence")

                    .PageSize(@pageSize)

                    .Total(@requiredMinCount))        

        .Render();

}

One thing that you must keep in mind is to set the total number of rows to a value greater than or equal to "pageNumber * pageSize", because kendo checks it when loading pages and if it finds that there is not enough rows, then open grid on the first page.

I don't pass the actual amount of all rows on the RAZOR template, because I'm using AJAX binding, so I have to be calculated it in a controller action which returns data for the grid. It doesn't make sense to connect twice to a data source and double calculate the same value.

On first time page load, the Model is null.
