I'm having some issues getting the kendo grid for mvc to work properly (especially the add button in the toolbar). I have a grid with editing in a popup window. For this I'm using a custom template which is in Views/Location/EditorShow.

The edit command is working just fine since this is showing up a popup for the user to edit data in (basically this loads Views/Location/EditorShow like I want it to). The delete command is also working just fine too.

The problem however is the Add command which is situated inside the toolbar. This one does not seem to have a correct url (it's pointing to the root of the website). Also find attached a screenshot showing to source of the add button. If I surf to ?GridLocations-mode=insert manually however a create popup is showing up.

Quite a strange situation, because there seems to be only a problem with the url of the add button in the toolbar.
Any ideas on what may be causing this??

P.S. Below is the code I'm using in my .cshtml file:

@Html.Kendo().Grid(Model).Name("GridLocations").Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(l => l.Name).Title("Name");
        columns.Command(command =>
       {      
          command.Edit().Text("Edit");
          command.Destroy().Text("Delete");               
       }).HeaderTemplate("Manage");
         
}).ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create().Text("Create")).DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Server() 
        .Model(model => model.Id(l => l.Id))         
        // Configure CRUD -->       
        .Create(create => create.Action("Create", "Locations"))
            .Read(read => read.Action("Index", "Locations"))
            .Update(update => update.Action("Update", "Locations"))
            .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("Delete", "Locations"))       
        // <-- Configure CRUD   
        ).Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).TemplateName("EditLocations"))

I don't think this does contain any strange stuff, since it's mostly the same as the examples on the website.
Any thoughts on why the add button is not working properly like expected?

Hey guys,

I'm using DataSource to drive a sort of "live filtering". After a filter's been applied I reload the data-source with the appropriate get-vars, but I want to add the results-count to this. I'm pretty flexible in how I construct my json (example of current json below), but I'm not sure how I would use kendo to place this somewhere in my html. My json looks like this:

{
 "results": [
{
 "title": "My entry",
 "description: "My description"
},
{
 "title": "Another entry",
 "description: "Another description"
},
]
}

So my questions are:

- Where in my json would I add the result-count?
- How do I make kendo render this to the current document?

Thanks guys!

- Steven

How do you prevent the menu from closing on the mouseout event? I want the menu only close if you click somewhere else outside of the menu.

I want to use ' in the text field of the category in this demo: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/foreignkeycolumn.html

But, when I use this character it breaks and will not show any grid at all. Escaping it with \ or using the ascii code did not work at all for me.

Does anyone have some insight on this?

Cheers
Bart

Whenever I hit the "create" action on a Kendo Grid, it runs the same server side call for every item in the list that I created.

For example, I have three columns Increment/Range/SetId.

I add one item: 1/1/1
This calls my CreateItem method for the 1/1/1 item.

I add a second item: 2/2/1
This calls my Create Item method for the 1/1/1 item and the 2/2/1 item.

I now have items saved in my database as follows:
1/1/1
1/1/1 (Duplicate)
2/2/1

This pattern continues for as many items as I create. My Kendo code is as follows:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Model.IncrementSetItem>()    
            .Name("IncrementSetItemGrid")    
            .Columns(columns => {        
                columns.Bound(p => p.IncrementSetID);
                columns.Bound(p => p.Increment).Width(140);
                columns.Bound(p => p.RangeHigh).Width(140);
                columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); command.Destroy(); }).Width(200);
            })
            .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
            .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
            .Pageable()
            .Sortable()
            .Scrollable()
            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource        
                .Ajax()                 
                .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
                .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.ID))
                .Create(create => create.Action("CreateItem", "IncrementSet"))
                .Read(read => read.Action("GetIncrementSetItemsList", "IncrementSet"))
                .Update(update => update.Action("UpdateItem", "IncrementSet"))
                .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Grid"))
            )
        )

Please let me know if there is a way to have the "Create" event only act on just the last item that I have created inline.

I do not know as to copy following code from Kendo UI Fluent to write in JavaScript

Code Kendo UI Fluent

@(Html.Kendo().Chart() .Name("Chart") 
           .DataSource(ds => ds.Read(read => read.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName")
           .Data("filterFunction")))

Code JavaScript
jQuery(document).ready(function($)
{
$("#chart").kendoChart({
   dataSource: {
     transport: {
         read: "ControllerName/ActionName",
      parameterMap: filterFunction
}
},

I create my drop down list like so

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.Project)
                    .Name("Project")
                                       .DataTextField("ProjectCode")
                                       .DataValueField("ProjectCode")
                                       .DataSource(source =>
                                       {
                                           source.Read(read =>
                                           {
                                               read.Action("GetProjects", "NewTimesheet");
                                           });
                                       })
                                               .Events(e => e.Select("projectChange"))
                                               .SelectedIndex(0)
            )


How do i refresh the data source from the server from a JavaScript event?

Thanks

This code:
var MyModel = kendo.data.Model.extend();
var MyDataSource = kendo.data.DataSource.extend({
    options: {
        transport: {
            create: {
                url:
'dummy.json',
                type:
'GET',
                dataType:
'json'
            },
            read: {
                url:
'dummy.json',
                type:
'GET',
                dataType:
'json'
            },
            update: {
                url:
'dummy.json',
                type:
'GET',
                dataType:
'json'
            },
            destroy: {
                url:
'dummy.json',
                type:
'GET',
                dataType:
'json'
            }
        },
        schema: {
            model: MyModel,
            data:
'data',
            total:
'total'
        }
    }
});

var myDataSource = new MyDataSource();
var myModel = new MyModel({
    ding: 'dong',
    ping: 'pong'
});

myDataSource.add(myModel);
myDataSource.sync();

Creates this error message:
  1. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'push' of undefined kendo.web.js:6109
    1. Observable.extend._acceptkendo.web.js:6109
    2. Observable.extend.synckendo.web.js:6067

    8. f.Callbacks.o.fireWithjquery.min.js:2
    9. f.support.ajax.f.ajaxTransport.send.djquery.min.js:4

If schema.total is not defined everything works fine.
Unfortunately we need the total because we use a pageable Grid.

Any help or thoughts on that issue?

An example can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/105042779/kendo/datasource.html (Please look into the source code or console)

Hi

I have a grid that has a column that uses a DropDownList (see code below).  

columns: [
    { field: "Choices", title: "My Choices", width: "150px",
        editor: function(container, options) {
              $('<input data-text-field="Name" data-value-field="Value" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '"/>').appendTo(container).kendoDropDownList({
               dataSource: {
                     data: myChoicesArray
              },
              dataValueField: "Value",
              dataTextField: "Name",
              autobind: true
          });
      }
   },
   { command: ["edit", "destroy"], title: " ", width: "210px" }
],

I'm using kendoui.complete.2012.1.229.beta

I have 2 issues:

1. When the user clicks on 'Add new record' and edits ALL the fields, the binding is fine.  If the user wants to use the default value in the DropDownList (i.e. no onChange event), on clicking 'Update', the value from the DropDownList is not bound and the value in the column remains blank.  This happens if I set the editing mode to 'inline' or 'popup'.  How do I get it to bind the default value?

2. I'm using a MVVM viewModel to store the details in the grid which will be sent to the server in a subsequent step.  If I set data-value-field="Value", I get the value (incorrectly) appearing in the grid and the viewModel correctly gets the value.  On the otherhand, if I set data-value-field="Name", I get the text correctly appearing in the grid but then the viewModel incorrectly gets the text too.  I would like to have the text of the DropDownList choice appear in grid and the value of the choice stored in the viewModel.  How can I do this?

Thanks
