IQueryable Grid Data

[Deyan]

Hello,

We are trying to add post filtering of the data that is sent to the grid via ajax.

Something like this:

ActionResult Action(GridCommand command)
{
var data = (IQueryable)repository.GetAll();

IQueryable tmpData = ToQueryable(data, command);

IEnumerable postFilteredData = tmpData.Select(....);

return View(new GridModel
{
Data = postFilteredData
});
}

For this to accomplish we need an IQueryable object after the internal Grid filtering. It will be great if you can add a new extension in Telerik.Web.MVC.Extensions.  

The extension should be like the following, but to return IQueryable instead, just like the second group.
public static GridModel ToGridModel(queryable, page, pageSize, sortDescriptors, filterDescriptors, groupDescriptors);


public static IQueryable ToQueryable(queryable, gridCommand);
or
public static IQueryable ToQueryable(queryable, page, pageSize, sortDescriptors, filterDescriptors, groupDescriptors);

Thank you in advance!

Hi Deyan,

 You can easily cast the Data property of GridModel back to IQueryable<T>. It should work without a glitch.
