mvc grid dynamic binding refresh with different datatables

[Zhuang]

Hi,

I have a mvc grid binding to data table.

On web page, I have a dropdownlist, when user select different item, I make a ajax call which returns a different datatable with different columns.

On ajax success, I do

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.data(data);
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

Which normally work if grid is binding to a model, but not this time for dynamic binding

Hello,

Try using the setOptions method of the grid instead. It will allow you to change the current columns.

Hi there,

I am having the same issue. Please could you tell me if you have resolved your issue. If you did, please show me how you do it.

I have no idea about using setoptions? Also, the link suggested by support was not very clear to me.

Please assist me.

Hello cheng,

When the Kendo UI Grid is initialized with a specific set of columns (specific columns definition) it does not allows columns to be changed without destroying and initializing the Kendo UI Grid with the new set of columns. The easiest way to do that is by using setOptions method - this method does that internally.
