Kendo Grid + Web API + Search + JSON

[mark baer]

I am trying to find samples on how to do this.  I can bind a kendo grid with JSON and regular MVC, but I am trying to using the CLIENT side controls with Web API.  I'm not sure how to CORRECTLY setup the Web API Method to handle a search string(Put method?) and what to return(Prefer JSON).  Any sample code out there?  Most of the samples I see are not passing parameters to Web API.  If they are, it is for a "Get"(Singular)...I need it for a "Search" method...Send some search text, get back JSON results bound to the Kendo Grid.

Thanks mucho.

Hi Mark,

Basically this is an WebApi controller restriction - in current case I would suggest to create a ViewModel which to contain both the Grid model and the additional properties that you need to send.
