I want to use the ListView to select items, very similar to this example: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/listview/selection

There are two items that I'm having a problem with. First, I need to be able to select the first item in the list view by default (ie. on new object creation). I found this code in another thread, but it's not working:

Secondly, I need to be able to select an item in the list view by ID (ie. editing an existing object).

This is the JSON I'm sending to the ListView:

And this is how I'm currently initializing it:

And the template/HTML:

Really they're two different facets of the same issue - programmatically selecting an item in the ListView.

after upgrading to "2016.1.118" my code (see below) produce an "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'date' of undefined" when trying to access dataItem properties in chart.series.notes.label.template:

The code:

My dataset:

I want to check out the new Dashboard app template, but I'm having trouble finding it.  I upgraded UI for ASP.NET MVC to Q1 2016 using Telerik Control Panel.  It is installed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik folder.  When I couldn't find the template there, I also installed Kendo UI Professional (including examples).  I found this blog that speaks of an apptemplates folder, but I'm not seeing that in my installation.  Were the templates moved somewhere else in this release? 

Thanks.

 I have the scenario where I'm binding columns to nullable objects.  I'm using the client template, and have a little html to add if the value is not null.

I've simplied my code here.  "ChildObject" is a property that can be null.  If it is null, show nothing.  If it is not null, show ChildObject.Name (in some custom html)

This code throws the invalid template error.  If I remove the '+'s, it works fine. Example:  '<div>Hello</div>' works, however that wouldn't allow me to add databound text. 

Thanks

I am adding items on client with url parameter set:

The generated code is:

I would expect that k-link class is also added to the a tag, otherwise this happens.(On some themes text is not visible)

Hi I have a simple multiselect....

 <select id="msProducts" multiple style="width:100%;"></select>

$(document).ready(function () {

        //products multi-select
        $("#msProducts").kendoMultiSelect({
            placeholder: "Select Product(s)",
            dataTextField: "ProductNameText",
            dataValueField: "ProductNameValue",
            dataSource: {
                type: "json",
                serverFiltering: true,
                transport: {
                    read: {
                        url: "Home/Products"
                    }
                }
            }
        });

});

My Contoller has:

    'GET: Home/Products
    <HttpGet>
    Function Products() As JsonResult
        Dim DiaryProductList As List(Of ProductsModel) = ProductsModel.GetProducts
        Return Json(DiaryProductList , JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)
    End Function

My ProductsModel Class has:

Public Class ProductsModel

    Public Property ProductNameText As String

    Public Property ProductNameValue As String

    Public Shared Function GetProducts() As List(Of ProductsModel)
        Dim ProductList = New List(Of ProductsModel)
        Dim dc As New DBDataContext
        Try
            Dim ProductsQuery = (From pIn dc.Products
                                Where p.ProductStatus <> "discontinued"
                                Select New With {.ProductNameValue = p.ProductName,
                                    .ProductNameText = p.ProductName}).OrderBy(Function(lst) lst.ProductNameValue)
            For Each r In ProductsQuery
                ProductList.Add(New ProductsModel() With {.ProductNameValue = r.ProductNameValue,
                                  .ProductNameText = r.ProductNameText})
                Next

           Catch ex As Exception
                ProductList.Add(New ProductsModel() With {.ProductNameValue = "",
                                  .ProductNameText = ex.Message})
            Finally
                dc.Connection.Close()
            End Try
            Return ProductList
    End Function
End Class

My problem is that although the muti-select gets populated (with some 5000+ products) the dropdown is not filtering as a user types. For example if I beging typing the word CAKE. As soon as I type C the I-beam disappears and after a second or two the dropdown drops for a brief moment and the disappears clearing the multi-select completely. The only way I can populate at the moment is type the letter A, wait and then scroll through the complete list and select what I need for each item I need. Have I missed something. Should I introduce paging in order to limit the data? 

Thanks

            validFlag = false;
            errorMsg += "<li>Add at least one Server or select N/A</li>"
        }
