It would be nice to send some meta information about the data along with the records. 

I want to dynamically show series based on the value of one of the bound fields in the datasource. If there are no records I don't want to show a donut chart ring for example.

Currently, I have to resort to some brittle logic in the change event of the datasource to do the trick. 

If I could create a datasource that would look more like the following:

If I could then bind the chartData as my chart datasource instead of the data starting at the root that would be great!

In other places where I've seen SVG used, you can right-click on the SVG graphic and copy it or save it as a picture. For instance, most of the icons on http://intertwingly.net/blog/ are done in SVG. It's really nice because I like to embed the images in emails or documents. Kendo's charts don't seem to do this. Has anybody tried doing this? For instance, is there a way to use the svg() method on the chart to create a downloadable file?

Hi,

I am having an issue binding a KendoUI Grid to a JSON data source using MVC 4. I have the following setup:

1. One controller called DashboardController.cs
2. The DashboardController.cs contains an action called Reports_Read which has the following code

I am trying to replace the header gradient on a grid on just one page, but my changes have had no effect. 

Using FireFox's Firebug I can see that the CSS rule has been overridden, but there is no visible change. 

The following fiddle shows an error I am receiving from Kendo when binding with MVVM: http://jsfiddle.net/cn172/XBY3f/75/

This fiddle is running on kendoUI 2012.2.913 and is the first appearance of the problem.  I have tried all the way up to current and the problem is the same throughout all the versions.

In the fiddle, click on an item in the grid shown in the running app.  Change the value 'Row1' to some other text.  Click the 'Save' button.  View the console and see:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'bind' of undefined kendo.all.min.js:22

This worked fine with kendo 2012.2.710  as seen in this fiddle:  http://jsfiddle.net/cn172/XBY3f/76/

I've been chasing this in my app for quite a lot of time now, nice to finally find that it did work at some point, how can I fix it?

What I mean is, my value in my DateTimePicker is  for example 07/03/2013 10:30 AM and when I click on the little cock Icon, the dropdownlist displays 12:00AM as the first option, and that is kind of annoying, I need it to display at 10:30AM or 10:00AM or 11:00AM, I don't want my user to scroll all the way down to change the time, is there any way we can modify this?

Thank you, 

Guillermo Sanchez

Hi, 

Basically I am trying to update 3 of my fields in my kendo Grid, 2 of them are kendoDateTimePickers, but when my changes are picked up by my controllers it tell me about an error that includes the DateTimePickers.

So the is the code I have so far:

======================================================================================================================================================================================

My Home-Index.js:

//New WO to schedule grid
    workOrdersSchedulingDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
            read: {
                // the remote service url
                url: '/sdata/api/dynamic/-/WorkOrders?where=(Status eq \'Unassigned\')&include=Customer,AssignedTo&count=200'

And finally my HomeController:

        private const string ScheduleSaved = "Changes saved.";

        public HomeController()
        {
            _session = ContainerManager.ResolveTenantSession();
        }

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var viewModel = new ScheduleViewModel();
            return View(viewModel);
        }

        // POST: /Home/SaveInvoice
        /// <summary>
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="scheduleViewModel"></param>
        /// <returns>The Json Result</returns>
        [HttpPost]
        public JsonResult Save(ScheduleViewModel scheduleViewModel)
        {
            var msg = ScheduleSaved;
            var type = NotificationType.Success;
            
            foreach (var workOrder in scheduleViewModel.WorkOrders)
            {
                if ((workOrder.AssignedTo.Id == Guid.Empty)) continue;
                var targetWorkOrder = _session.Get<WorkOrder>(workOrder.Id);

                if (targetWorkOrder == null)
                {
                    LogAndThrowEntityNotFound("work order", workOrder.Id);
                }
                else
                {
                    var targetUser = _session.Get<User>(workOrder.AssignedTo.Id);
                    if (targetUser == null)
                    {
                        LogAndThrowEntityNotFound("user", workOrder.AssignedTo.Id);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        targetWorkOrder.AssignedTo = targetUser;
                        targetWorkOrder.Status = WorkOrderStatus.Assigned;
                        targetWorkOrder.ServiceDate = workOrder.ServiceDate;
                        targetWorkOrder.ServiceEndDate = workOrder.ServiceEndDate;

                        _session.Transaction.Begin();
                        _session.SaveOrUpdate(targetWorkOrder);
                        _session.Transaction.Commit();
                    }
                }
            }

            return Json(new Notification { Message = msg, Type = type }, "application/json",
                           JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Log And Throw NotFound exception
        /// </summary>

            throw SDataErrors.EntityNotFound();
        }
    }
}

So basically my error is here:
targetWorkOrder.ServiceDate = workOrder.ServiceDate;
targetWorkOrder.ServiceEndDate = workOrder.ServiceEndDate;

_session.Transaction.Begin();
_session.SaveOrUpdate(targetWorkOrder);
_session.Transaction.Commit();

I am pretty sure it is related with my template, or my editor, I have tried so many things and still is like I don't get the proper date from the dateTimePicker, so it says the date is SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM. And since the is not null to the date it goes to the minimum value which means it is like it is null, it is not picking anything. So I have no idea what I am doing wrong, please help me =).

I attached a file to show the error that displays on the controller.
Another screen to show what FireBug shows.

Thank you,

We are converting an old app to Kendo Web (MVC) to take advantage of the Theme engine so that our designers can control the site much easier than what we have now.

I noticed there is no TextBox or Label control in Kendo. Is there a way to get TextBoxes like the below one that are themed to the current Kendo UI theme and that also can be validated?

Hi

I'm trying to use Kendo Editor in a Lightswitch HTML application. 

I have managed to get it working in an edit form (which appears as a modal dialog), and text can be edited and saved. My problem arises when the user clicks the Insert Image / Hyperlink buttons the modal for these buttons appears behind the edit form.

Is there a way that the Insert Image / Hyperlink modals can be forced to the front?

Thanks

We currently have a Kendo UI Complete commercial license and we act as a subcontractor for another company. In other words, it's not our company which will distribute the software we're developing, it's this partner company but the development is done entirely on our side. Our question is whether we could sell the license to our partner so that they can subsequently distribute Kendo UI Complete according to the License Agreement or do they have to buy their own license even if our company will not distribute it to anyone else?

Thanks in advance for your support. Any additional information you consider relevant for the situation above is most welcome.
