Hi there,

I have a kendo grid which binds into  a datatable (it has to bind into a datatable as I do not know which columns i am expecting)
It seems like when binding a grid to a datatable, date columns are not being recognized as dates, and rendered as strings. So no filtering, sorting or formatting, and the date is being displayed in the json string format: /Date(1348489271318)/

The mark up is as follows:
    @{ Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.GridModel)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            foreach (System.Data.DataColumn column in Model.GridModel.Columns)
            {              
                var c = columns.Bound(column.DataType, column.ColumnName).Title(column.Caption);
             
                 if (column.ColumnName == "DateAdded")
                {                   
                    c.Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm}");
                 }
            }
        })

Once I change the datasource into a class model, then everything works fine, the dates are rendered as dates with the correct format, filtering and sorting.

Any ideas why column of datatype date is getting rendered as a string?
Thanks

Current Kendo version being used is 2013.1.514.340.

The MultiSelect has values and can be selected. When the model is passed to the controller, the value in the model for the MultiSelect, the value is always null.

Below is the code I am using, is this code set up correctly ?

View:
@(Html.Kendo().MultiSelectFor(x => x.x2010ArchitectureModeling)
         .Name("VS2010_Architecture_and_Modeling")
         .Placeholder("Select features...")
         .BindTo(new SelectList(ViewBag.vs2010ArchitectureModeling, "Value", "Text"))
Model:
public IList<string> x2010ArchitectureModeling { get; set; }

Controller:

public ActionResult PlaceOrder(OrderFormViewViewModel model)
        {
             // model.x2010ArchitectureModeling is null here
        }

I am having trouble changing the styling on the Select button in the upload tool.
The Upload button has taken the correct style, but the Select does not.

I have attached code samples of the css, html, and javascript, as well as a screen shot of the rendered result.

In Chrome it looks like the button has the correct styles, but they do not render on screen.

My problem is that everytime i use the .Filterable it is refreshing . . 


Controller:

public partial class ApplicantController : Controller
    {
        Entities context = new Entities();

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult GetApplicant([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
        {
                IQueryable<APPLICANT> applicants = context.APPLICANTs;
                DataSourceResult result = applicants.ToDataSourceResult(request);
                return Json(result,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    
        }

        public ActionResult UpdateApplicant([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, APPLICANT applicant)
        {
            var applicantToUpdate = context.APPLICANTs.First(app => app.APPLICANT_ID == applicant.APPLICANT_ID);

            TryUpdateModel(applicantToUpdate);

            context.SaveChanges();

            return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult(),JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
        public ActionResult InsertApplicant([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, APPLICANT addappli)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                context.APPLICANTs.Add(addappli);
                context.SaveChanges();
            }

            return Json(new[] { addappli }.ToDataSourceResult(request));
        }
}


Index : 

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<_2ndApplicantKendo.Models.APPLICANT>()
    .Name("grid")
    .ToolBar(tb => tb.Create())
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
        columns.Bound(p => p.APPLICANT_LastName).Width(130);
        columns.Bound(p => p.APPLICANT_FirstName).Width(130);
        columns.Bound(p => p.APPLICANT_MiddleName).Width(130);

        .Groupable()

I'm trying to learn to use the Kendo grid.
So I went to  http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/index.html
Where the Basic Usage shows columns First Last City Title Birthdate

And here is the code for that under index.cshtml.

@model IEnumerable<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.ProductViewModel>

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.ProductID).Groupable(false);
columns.Bound(p => p.ProductName);
columns.Bound(p => p.UnitPrice);
columns.Bound(p => p.UnitsInStock);
})
.Groupable()
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable()
.Filterable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Read(read => read.Action("Products_Read", "Grid"))
)
)

I'm finding your MVC docs obtuse enough without this kind of help.

Same story on Binding to remote data.
The DataSource calls an read method that isn't in the Remote_DataController.cs

I really want to love your product..  So help me out fix the documentation.

Here is what I am trying to do.
From one view I allow the user to create a new record, let's call it Employee.  When the record is created (server side) I want to be able to pass the newly created database Id so that when I display the list of Employees in a Kendo UI grid which is populated via Ajax() call; I want to "pre" select the newly created row.  

I have not seen any good example of how to do this, especially in an ASP.NET MVC environment.

Hello,

Once created, many Kendo components root DOM element are wrapped under new HTML elements.  Any class of the original input will also be copied to some parent elements.

Ex:


1.<input type="text" class="MyClass" />

Notice kendo added the MyClass to the span wrapper at line #1 and #3 once the DateTimePicker is created.

1.<span class="k-widget k-datetimepicker k-header MyClass" style="width: 200px;">
2.    <span class="k-picker-wrap k-state-default">
3.        <input id="mydatetimepicker" style="width: 100%;" data-role="datetimepicker" type="text" class="k-input MyClass" role="textbox" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" aria-disabled="false" aria-readonly="false" aria-label="Current focused date is 5/22/2013 9:50:42 AM">
4.        <span unselectable="on" class="k-select">
5.            <span unselectable="on" class="k-icon k-i-calendar" role="button" aria-controls="datetimepicker_dateview">select</span><span unselectable="on" class="k-icon k-i-clock" role="button" aria-controls="datetimepicker_timeview">select</span>
6.        </span>
7.    </span>
8.</span>

When you access the root input (line #3) with the ID, there's no problem.

1.$('#mydatetimepicker')
2.//Will return the input of line 3

However, if you want to use the class, then is getting more tricky.

1.$('.MyClass')
2.//Will return the span of line 1 and the input of line 3

As each widget (DateTimePicker, DropDownList, ComboBox...) are wrapped differently, it might be a good idea to add a class to the root input that would allow us to spot the input we are looking for?

Hi, 
I have scrollable Kendo grid which must fill in entire browser window (currently Chrome).

I need the vertical scrollbar to be frozen (not disappear) when I scroll to the right with the horizontal scrollbar. Also the command buttons to be frozen when I scroll to the left 

Please see the attached pictures.

Thank you in advance
