MVC - Server Paging and Aggregates

[IT Dept]

Hi, pretty simple question that I can't find any example of.

Is it possible to get aggregates for a DataGrid that also has an Ajax DataSource with Server Paging?

Hello,

 Yes, this is possible however the aggregates must be calculated on the server side as well in order to be correct. If not the data source will aggregate only the current page of data.

Thank you Atanas,

Do you have some sort of demo/example page I can follow as I've been going through everything and cannot find anything that does this.

Thanks

Hello,

We don't have examples showing how to calculate aggregates server-side.

 However our server-side products Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC, PHP and JSP support server-side aggregates, paging, filtering, sorting and grouping out of the box.

Calculation of the aggregates is the least of my worries though.

It's the grid's configuration and what needs to be sent back to the grid that is a bit cryptic.

Hello,

 There are two configuration settings which apply to data source server aggregates:
 serverAggregates
 schema.aggregates

 The aggregates are sent to the remote service as defined in the parameterMap.
