kendo ui grid with no model

[Jim]

Hi I want to create a grid using the server wrapper without having to specify a certain model, I just want a column to put string values and a custom column to delete the values.

so with javascript I can do that this way:

​ $("#gridtest").kendoGrid({
height: 150,
columns: [
{
attributes: {"style":"padding-left:0px"},
field: "date",
title: "Selected Dates",
},
//{ command: [{ className:"select", name: "destroy", text: "" }], title: " ", width: 40 }
{ command: [{ id: "destroy", name: "destroy", template: "<img class='select' src='@Url.Content("~/Contents/Images/delete.png")' onclick='deleteGridRow(this)'/>" }], title: " ", width: 40 }
],
editable: "inline"
});

Hello Jim,

MVC wrapper always requires model. It could be explicitly set Grid<Some Model> /as in the remote binding example/ or inferred implicitly Grid(Model) /as in the local binding example/.

You can also create dummy view model with `field: "date",` property so that the grid binds properly.

I've same problem. I have not a predefinite model, my model is dynamic. For example suppose to create a grid where columns are variable from a sql query where columns select can change. How can I do that ?
