Insert action in ajax binding is not called

[Arjun Paudel]

Hi,
I have following in view.

@( Html.Telerik().Grid<SMS.Models.Student.StudenRelativeGridItemViewModel>()
        .Name("GridRelations")
                .ToolBar(commands => { commands.Insert().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Image);
                                         commands.SubmitChanges().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Image);
                                     })
         .DataKeys(keys =>
                       {
                           keys.Add(p => p.RelativeID).RouteKey("id");
                           keys.Add(p => p.StudentID).RouteKey("studentid");
                       })
       .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(o => o.FirstName).Width(120).ReadOnly();
            columns.Bound(o => o.LastName).Width(120);
            columns.Bound(o => o.Relation).Width(80);
            columns.Bound(o => o.EmailAddress).Width(100).Title("Email");
            columns.Bound(o => o.HomeNumber).Width(100);

            columns.Command(commands =>
            {
                commands.Edit().ButtonType(GridButtonType.ImageAndText);
                commands.Delete().ButtonType(GridButtonType.ImageAndText);
            }).Width(180).Title("Commands");



        })
                .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_GetStudentRelatives", "Students", new
                                                                                               {
                                                                                                                      })
                                                                                               .Update("SaveStudentRelations", "Students")
                                                                                               .Delete("DeleteParentGuardian", "Students")
                                                                                                       .Insert("InsertStudentRelations", "Students")
          )


        .Scrollable(scrolling => scrolling.Enabled(true))
        .Sortable(sorting => sorting.Enabled(true))
        .Pageable(paging => paging.Enabled(true))
        .Filterable(filtering => filtering.Enabled(true))
        .Groupable(grouping => grouping.Enabled(true))
        .Editable(editable=> editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
       .Footer(true)

)

And controller

private GridModel gridStudentRelatives(int studentid)
{
var query = _gridstudenRelationViewModelBuilder.Build(studentid);
return new GridModel(query);
}

[GridAction]
public ActionResult DeleteParentGuardian(int studentid, int id)
{
_studentRelativeService.DeleteRelative(id);
return View(gridStudentRelatives(studentid));
}
[GridAction]
public ActionResult SaveStudentRelations(int studentid, int id)
{
_studentRelativeService.SaveRelative(id);
return View(gridStudentRelatives(studentid));
}

[GridAction]
public ActionResult InsertParentGuardian(int studentid, int id)
{
_studentRelativeService.InsertRelative(id);
return View(gridStudentRelatives(studentid));
}

with add new records,InsertParentGuardian is never called. If I type it in address bar it looks fine. But clicking Add new records add an inline row in the grid without calling Action method(I used breakpoint to verify). All other GridActions are called without problem(i.e. save, delete) Would be very grateful if anyone could help me. Thanks

Hi Arjun Paudel,

The described behavior is caused by the fact that InCell editing mode is used. When in this mode only the update action will be used as shown in this online demo example.

All the best,

Thanks Rosen for your prompt reply, actually I tried all possibilities but no luck, even without batch update

I even looked at F12 tools and all jquery looked strange to me, I hope its not cached value of another grid. Anyway I am happy with actionlink and works seemlessly. I will give it a look again when I have some spare time and let you know the result.
Thanks
