    Hello,

    i've searchd for a way to add new items to a exsisitng ListView without reading the DataSoucre again.

    I want to add one or more complete filled items to the exisiting ListView that have a DataSource the question is how should i do that?

    Sample-Code:
    var objectListDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource( {
                   transport: {
                       read: function ( options ) {
                           $.ajax( {
                               url: '/default/GetUsers',
                               type: 'POST',
                               dataType: 'json',
                               data: { ids: ids },
                               traditional: true,
                               success: function ( data ) {
                                   options.success( data );
                               }
                           } );
                       }
                   },
                   schema: {
                       data: 'items',
                       model: {
                           id: 'ID',
                           fields: {
                               ID: { type: "Number", editable: false, nullable: false, validation: { required: false} },
                               UserName: "UserName"
                           }
                       }
                   }
               } );
     
               $( '#objectList' ).kendoListView( {
                   dataSource: objectListDataSource,
                   template: '<li>${ DisplayName }<div class="separator">|</div></li>',
                   selectable: 'single',
                   change: function () {
                       //alert( "CHANGE" );
                   },
                   dataBound: function () {
                       //alert( "dataBound" );
                   }
               } );
    If i use after the initialisation of the ListView the follwoing Code it will work but i need a way to add these items withoud rebinding the DataSource.

    var myDS = $( '#objectList' ).data( "kendoListView" ).dataSource;
    ids.push( 50 );
    ids.push( 45 );
    myDS .read();

    Your help would be very welcome!

    Hi Norman,

    Generally speaking, you should use the DataSource add() / insert() methods to add new items and the create transport to synchronize changes. Hence the ListView will automatically refresh.
