Kendo UI Grid Events in Partial view using @Ajax.ActionLink

[Halina]

I am having the following issue when I’m using Kendo UI Grid in partial view loaded by Ajax.ActionLink.
Sorting and everything works as long as I‘m not adding any events, but I need to use Change event in order to implement
 Master-Child grid.
After I add the event, sorting stops working, event is not firing. My test code is
Controller
public class TestKendoAjaxController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {           
           return View();
       }
        public ActionResult PartialGrid()
        {
            List<TestKendoAjaxModel> result = new List<TestKendoAjaxModel>();
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "Test1", LastName = "test1Last" });
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "test2", LastName = "test2Last" });
            Main nn = new Main();
            nn.blah = result;
            return PartialView("_TestPartial", nn.blah);
        }
          [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Data_Read([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
        {
            List<TestKendoAjaxModel> result = new List<TestKendoAjaxModel>();
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "test1", LastName = "test1Last" });
            result.Add(new TestKendoAjaxModel { FirstName = "test2", LastName = "test2Last" });
            return
Json(result.ToDataSourceResult(request));
       }
   }

View

@model Johnson.OAT.MVC4.Models.Main
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>

<p>
@Ajax.ActionLink("Load partial view", "PartialGrid", new AjaxOptions
{
    OnSuccess = "updatePlaceholder",
    UpdateTargetId = "result"
})
</p>

 <div id="result"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
   function updatePlaceholder(context) {
        // the HTML output of the partial view
        var html = context.get_data();

        // the DOM element representing the placeholder
        var placeholder = context.get_updateTarget();

        // use jQuery to update the placeholder. It will execute any JavaScript statements
        $(placeholder).html(html);

        // return false to prevent the automatic update of the placeholder
        return false;
    }
</script>

Partial view

@model IEnumerable<Johnson.OAT.MVC4.Models.TestKendoAjaxModel>

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(o => o.FirstName).Format("{0:d}").Width(80);
            columns.Bound(o => o.LastName).Width(200);
           
                             
        }).Sortable().Pageable(p => p.PageSizes(new[] { 20, 30, 50 })
        ).Filterable()
        .Selectable()
         .DataSource(datasource => datasource
           .Ajax()
           .Read(read=> read.Action("Data_Read","TestKendoAjax").Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
           
 )
 .Events(events => events.Change("change"))
 )


<script>
    function change(e) {
       alert("")
    }
</script>



 

Thank you in advance!

Hi Halina,

 
I would suggest to move the Change event handler before the Grid code as when the Grid code is executed the handler is still not loaded:

<script>
    function change(e) {
        alert("");
    }
</script>

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
    .Name("Grid")
    .Events(events => events.Change("change"))

Kind Regards,
