KendoUI datasource bound with Html table (not grid)

[Sameer]

I am using KendoUI web controls with KO binding using knockout-kendo.js in my project. It works like a charm with kendo Grid. 

However, at couple of places I want to use Html table whose rows are bound with kendo datasource inside my VM using KO bindings. In other words, I want something similar to ko's foreach binding using kendo datasource. 

I referred http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/qtx3J/ as a sample but when I integrate kendo datasource here, it stops working.

var viewModel = ko.observable({
                persons: new kendo.data.DataSource({
                    schema: {
                        model: { id: "PersonId" },
                        data: "Data",
                        total: "Total",
                    },
                    transport: {
                        read: {
                            url: "/api/PersonApi/Get",
                            dataType: "json", 
                        },
                                            },
                    pageSize: 2,
                    serverPaging: true,
                    serverSorting: true,
                }),
                itemTemplate : function (item) { return "view"; },});

Thank you for your help!

Hello Sameer,

The Knockout-Kendo library is part of the Kendo UI Labs projects. As such, these projects are not officially supported by the Kendo UI team. Any support requests (via tickets or Forum posts) should go to either StackOverflow, or to the issues list for that project.

In case you are interested in using Kendo MVVM for this scenario please let me know and I will be glad to provide you with a guidance how to achieve that.

Yeah that will be great if you can provide me some sample code to achieve this.

Thanks!

Hi Sameer,

Here is an example that demonstrates how the scenario can be implemented through Kendo MVVM.
