Multiple grids and other controls from the same viewmodel.

[Luis]

Hi, I'm new to Kendo UI and I'm working on ASP.NET MVC 4. I have 3 models, for example Category, Product and Status, products have a reference to one category and one status. I need to display in a view (using Razor) data from multiple models, like for example Category.Name and Category.DateCreated on the top of page, and then a grid with all products that have StatusId = 1, and then another grid with all products that have StatusId = 2 (there are only two status). So, I have created a view model class for a Category, it includes all properties from Category model, but also has 2 lists for Products with Status = 1 and Status = 2; but I don't know how to populate these grids, how to pass data to them. I looked for a similiar question in the forum but didn't find any, if someone could help me with an example, I'd be thankful! (Please let me know if more info is needed, or if it's not well explained the case)

Maybe the title is not so descriptive, I forgot to change it :)

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not very clear what the problem is right now. Could you please clarify? You could paste here how your models look like and what is the code you have tried so far.

By the way you could try using the MVC wrappers of Kendo UI. They make using Kendo UI in ASP.NET MVC applications a lot easier. You can check the documentation of the ASP.NET MVC grid wrapper here.
