When using editor templates by name like:

columns.Bound(x => x.Name).EditorTemplateName("String").Width(300);

Causes this to be rendered:

{"title":"Name","width":"300px","field":"Name","encoded":true,"editor":"%3cinput class=\"text-box single-line\" data-val=\"true\" data-val-required=\"Please provide a setting name.\" id=\"Name\" name=\"Name\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" /%3e%3cspan class=\"field-validation-valid\" data-valmsg-for=\"Name\" data-valmsg-replace=\"true\"%3e%3c/span%3e"}

Which then causes the grid, when inline editing to show the html encoded rather than endering the actual html it represents. I see an "encoded:true" but it doesn't seem to be treating the editor as encoded.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I blogged a workaround.

ASP.NET MVC 4 Partial View templates - invalid template issue.

I am wondering if there is any sample code / API that can process the output after calling HtmlHelper.Partial(...). In many cases, we use the same partial view to render the repeating items and also the template for when the user adds new items at the client. The '#' character is the trouble. In many cases a # character is used in an <a href='#'... or else where which is not part of the template. Recently, I just used the following code to get around the href='#' issue,

var template = html.Partial(...);
string str = template.ToHtmlString();

str = str.Replace("href=\"#\"", "href=\"\\\\#\"");
str = str.Replace("href='#'", "href='\\\\#'");

return new MvcHtmlString(str);

it would be great if someone had a regex or a helper function that could escape all the non-template '#' characters. I would really be unfortunate if I have to duplicate all my partial views just make them template safe.

How to bind Grid to Web API Controller?

I'm having trouble binding data from a Web API Controller to a Grid. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any examples of this.

Here's the API Controller:

public class FruitController : ApiController

{

public class Fruit

{

public string Name { get; set; }

public string Color { get; set; }

}

public IEnumerable<Fruit> GetFruits()

{

List<Fruit> list = new List<Fruit>();

Fruit f = new Fruit();

f.Name = "Apple";

f.Color = "Red";

list.Add(f);

f = new Fruit();

f.Name = "Kiwi";

f.Color = "Green";

list.Add(f);

return list;

}

And in my .cshtml file I have:

@model IEnumerable<FruitController.Fruit>

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)

.Name("Grid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(p => p.Name);

columns.Bound(p => p.Color);

})

.Groupable()

.Pageable()

.Sortable()

.Scrollable()

.Filterable()

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Read(read => read.Action("GetFruits", "api/Fruit").Type(HttpVerbs.Get)

)

When I run this, I get a successful JSON response from the controller (seen via Chrome):

[{"Name":"Apple","Color":"Red"},{"Name":"Kiwi","Color":"Green"}]

But the grid has no data in it. Is there something obvious I am missing? I haven't been able to figure this out!

Thanks!

[Solved] Error on validating field if id starts with 'first' or 'last' (jQuery 1.8.0)

Dear Developers,

there is a bug in _validate method of the Editable widget. There is a line in the code (ln. 30578, kendo.web.js v2012.2.710) which tries to retrieve the input element:

input = $(':input[' + kendo.attr("bind") + '="' + (isBoolean ? 'checked:' : 'value:') + e.field + '"]', that.element);

If the field's name starts with 'first' or 'last' (e.g. first_name) the computed selector will be:

':input[data-bind="value:first_name"]'

In that case jQuery 1.8.0 can not find the element because the css parser throws an exception:

Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: :input[data-bind="value

Obviously with jQuery 1.7.1 there is no exception.
This may be unconfortable in the future.

PanelBar animation not working if including link to kendo.dataviz.min.js

Hi,

I am trying to include inside one panel of the panel bar a template that is formed out of a couple linear gauges and some icons. The template works very well individually and also the panel bar works good by it's one.

Though, when I want to put the linear gauges inside the panel bar, and add a link to kendo.dataviz.min.js it displays everything fine, the linear gauge have their correct animations, but the panel bar expending and collapsing of an item stops working. It is just an instant transition between panels.

Is this a known issue, and if yes, how can I fix it?

Thank you and have a nice day,

PanelBar

[Solved] Access json data in Completed event

This might be an odd question, but I am using the datasource object to get data from the server for my grid, but there is additional information I want to display elsewhere. Right now I get the list of results, the total count, and a count of customers contacted. I want to display this number in a span for the user to work with, but I don't know where this information is stored or even if it is stored when the datasource completed event is fired. Any help would be appreciated

Kendo Grid and Null model

Is there a way to have the grid show or display a message saying there are no results vs crashing the page? I don't think its uncommon to do a search and not return any records, unless I overlooked something. I'm using fluent syntax. Thanks
