Kendo grid with dynamic behaviour

[Palanisamy]

Hi I need to populate the columns and page size from database. Not from model and hardcoding. I mean everything will be in dynamic. Kindly help me and provide the samples for this. My Existing code below.

  @(Html.Kendo().Grid<kendo_grid_with_web_api_and_ondemand.Models.MsgDetails>()
    .Name("gridnew")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(o => o.MsgNum).Width(110);
        columns.Bound(o => o.MsgDesc).Width(130);
    })
    .Sortable()
    .Scrollable(scrollable => scrollable.Virtual(true))
    .Pageable()
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:430px;" })
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .PageSize(100)
        .Read(read => read.Action("MsgDetails_Read", "Home"))
     )
    )

 

Columns,Pagesize,Scrollable every property will be in DB. So I need to load populate from db with mvc kendo grid. Kindly help me.

Hello Palanisamy,

The options should be set when the Grid is initialized, if you want to change them on the fly from your dataBase you can use the setOptions method once you have the options available and set them on the Grid. Here is the documentation about it:
