Im trying to figure out a way to handle server side filtering where our controllers return viewmodels rather than the actual entity. Because a viewmodel is being bound to the grid, when ever I sort or filter the field that is being sent back to the controller is the property name from the viewmodel and does not match to the entity. Because of this I can't do a dynamic where clause as the where clause contains the field of the viewmodel (CarName) and not the entity (Name). Somehow I need a way to map the filter for the viewmodel fields back to the entity so that I can filter properly.  

Here are the basic steps:
Call Repository Get IQueryable<Car> Entity
Filter and sort Data (With Dynamic Query)
Convert entity to viewmodel with Automapper
Return viewmodel
Just to point out im using the Kendo UI Web and not the MVC wrappers.

I have a kendo grid that I am pulling data from an API (same site)...  I cannot grid to populate with the data.

Here is an example of the json string...

[{"clientID":8,"memoID":14,"memoTime":"2012-05-09T09:04:00","subject":"Letter","memo":"Sent Letter ","initials":"AA","code":1,"private":false,"sticky":false}, ... and so on ...]

The data has no 'structure name' returned so in the schema section below I am not sure what to put?

Here is the code calling the JSON:   (This is from one of your online examples)
<div id="example" class="k-content">
<div id="grid"></div>
  $(document).ready(function() {
                    var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                        dataSource: {
                               transport: {
                                read: {
                                    url: "/memo/a/8/b/1",
                                    dataType: "json",
               
                                }
                            },
                            schema: {
                                data: function (response) {
                                    return response.data; 
                                }
                          
                            },
                            pageSize: 20,
                            serverPaging: true,
                            serverSorting: true,
                            serverFiltering: true
                        },
                        toolbar: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
                        height: 430,
                        sortable: true,
                        pageable: true,
                        columns: [
                            { field: "MemoID", title: "MemoID", width: 100 },
                            { field: "Subject", title: "Subject" },
                            { field: "Initials", title: "Initials", width: 100 },
                            { field: "Memo", title: "Memo" }
                        ]
                    });

Is it possible to not chart values that are Not A Number?  NaN shows in chart as large value, sample attached.

Hi,

I am developing a webmail client with angularjs and kendoui, it has two panes left for viewing user folders and right for message display / composition.  For displaying the folders I am using kendoui treeview and when they select a node we display the proper messages for that folder.

Problem: When a user choose a folder, Drafts, then clicks on a message to finish composing that message they are unable to click on the Drafts folder node to navigate back to the Drafts folder gridview.

Code:
The issue I'm seeing is that once a node is selected, whenever you re-click on it, the select code does not fire.

Any thoughts on how to work around this?

I am using the kendo.dataviz.ui.Chart via the MVC wrapper. I am looking to fire an operation after the chart refreshes...
$("#mychart").data('kendoChart').refresh();
Once the animations, etc, finishes for the refresh, I would like be notified by a promise or chart event.

Hi,

I have a Grid and want to add a progress bar to row based on a value stored in that row. is this possible?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

I'm trying to get a Bootstrap Metro theme in my application but a page renders with a default Bootstrap theme.

Not sure if I'm loading all the necessary CSS and in in the right order.

        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

        <style type="text/css">
            html {
                overflow-x: hidden; /* Prevent scroll on narrow devices */
            }
            body {
                padding-top: 60px;
            }
        </style>        

        <link href="app/_libraries/bootstrap-3.0.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Hi,
  I see how you are reading the data. How can I use the onclick method to go to another site related to the person I select? I would add the site link in the Json of course.

Thanks,
Amin

OK I have a bit of a more complex issue.

I am attempting to use three Keno Items and it is not working well
I have a MVC 4 page
On the View I have PanelBar that separates sections of the form
The last PanelBar Item contains a Kendo Scheduler. (This is almost working, but not the reason form y post)
I am using the Kendo Validator to validate the form.

Here is the issue: I f I have validation on the "Editor" window for the scheduler will not close until I hit cancel (or the close X in the upper right corner). The newly saved event will not be displayed until I refresh the page.

Even if all other form elements pass validation, this behavior continues with the scheduler. If I remove validation the scheduler will operate in an expected fashion.

an ideas on this?

During our development we are wondering how we best can export the webpages we created which contains Kendo elements to PDF format. We saw earlier on the forum that there was a post where was asked what the best way would be to export a grid to PDF, but we would like to do this with the entire page. these pages also contains CSS files which does not makes in any easier to export this to a file. 

We also noticed that Telerik has some functions for this(exporting data to PDF or Excel). Is Kendo going to include these features also?

One final thing currently we need to keep the DataSources in our memory after initializing it. is there a smarter solution for this or is there a smarter solution coming for this.
