Kendo.DynamicLinq Licensing

[Andrew]

Does anyone know where I can find info about the licensing of Kendo.DynamicLinq - https://github.com/kendo-labs/dlinq-helpers ?

There is nothing in the repo about the license. I found a few posts that mention it is an open-source community contributed component, but for auditing purposes I need something a bit more official.

Some of the Kendo-Labs projects do have licencing details, eg. https://github.com/kendo-labs/kendo-ui-forms, but not dlinq-helpers :(

Hello, Andrew,

The Dynamic Linq helpers are indeed an open-source library and can be used freely. This also means that they are not officially supported by Kendo UI and any issues with them will be handled by its community.

The "ToDataSourceResult" on the other hand is part of the "UI for ASP.NET MVC" product which is a license one.

As your account has a Progress® DevCraft Complete license, it can use the "ToDataSourceResult" method as well.

Please let me know if you need more information on this matter.

Hi Stefan,

That sounds good, I hadn't considered using the MVC component for a jQuery UI WebAPI controller.

I tried just plugging it in to my webapi controller to  replace the community library, it doesn't seem to quite work, it's not remembering the sorts and filters. Can you point me at an example of using this component with jQuery and a webAPI?

regards

Andrew

Hello, Andrew,

For the parameters to be sent in the expected format, the data source type should be defined as "webapi":

type: "webapi",
serverPaging: true,
serverSorting: true,
serverFiltering: true,
serverGrouping: true,
serverAggregates: true,
schema: {
    data: "Data",
    total: "Total",
    errors: "Errors"
}

Let me know in case you have any difficulties.

Kind Regards,
