Hello.

I am new to kendo. I think I have setup my grid correctly, but for some reason when I hit the refresh button, my grid is using cached data and never calls the controller to get new data.

When the page loads, the controller method gets called and the initial set of data is retrieved. If I perform an action (lets say I added a row to my database, then call read(), the onTransportRead method gets called, but it never hits the controller to get the dataset. It's like it's using cached data.

What am I doing wrong?

Controller: (I modifed the method to make it more simple here, and I know it works b/c the inital (autobind: true) method returns a set of data. It's just subsequent calls to read() do not call GetKeys).

public JsonResult GetKeys() {

RestClient client = RestClient;

RestRequest getRequest = new RestRequest(string.Format("api/filemanagment/{0}/keys"), Method.GET);

string token = ClaimsPrincipal.Current.Claims.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Type == "DbToken").Value;

getRequest.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + token);

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(getRequest);

if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK) {

List<File> returnObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<File>>(response.Content);

return Json(returnObj, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

}

else {

JsonResultCode jrc = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonResultCode>(response.Content);

switch (jrc.Code) {

case 4:

throw new Exception("Invalid Token");

default:

throw new Exception(jrc.ErrorMessage);

}
