JSON Data Source Issue

[Hung Hong]

Hi, 
I'm working on MultiSelect + JSON as data source, i'm having issue to display the json result in Multiselect. 
It display to me as undefined.

Below is my multiselect code

            var multiselect = $("#ddlSelectCostCenter").data("kendoMultiSelect")
            var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                data: [],
                pageSize: 500
            });
            multiselect.setDataSource(dataSource);

            if (result !== "") {

                dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                    type:"json",
                    data: JSON.stringify(result),
                    pageSize: 500
                });

                multiselect.setDataSource(dataSource);
                multiselect.dataTextField = "Name";
                multiselect.dataValueField = "Value";
}

 

My Json is like below. 
[{"Value":"0000","Name":"ALL"},{"Value":"0111","Name":"0111 ~ Facility Management"},{"Value":"0113","Name":"0113 ~ NP Logistics Setup"},{"Value":"1001","Name":"1001 ~ TV KL Tec President Office"},{"Value":"2001","Name":"2001 ~ North Chip Engineering"},{"Value":"2002","Name":"2002 ~ TV AM CHIP"},{"Value":"2003","Name":"2003 ~ AutoMount Metecon"},{"Value":"2004","Name":"2004 ~ HM Office"},{"Value":"2005","Name":"2005 ~ BOARD BIZ-HM Office"},{"Value":"2006","Name":"2006 ~ Sony MFC Sys"},{"Value":"2007","Name":"2007 ~ AM North Oth"},{"Value":"2009","Name":"2009 ~ TV AM Office"},{"Value":"2010","Name":"2010 ~ AM North DISC"},{"Value":"2011","Name":"2011 ~ AM North CHIP"}]

What do I missed out?

Thank

Hello Hung Hong,

"json" is not a valid type for the Kendo DataSource. Here's a sample dojo that works at my end. The json array is passed directly to the DataSource's data configuration option.

Hi Ivan,

Thank for the reply. Your sample work! But there are some thing required your help.

1. How do I convert my json output to json array? As I work with an api that return the result to me in json.

 

Thank

Hello Hung Hong,

You can convert it with jQuery:  $.parseJSON('[' + result + ']') Modified dojo example.
