[Solved] MVC Grid Model Binding Grid <T> Vs Grid(Model) Query

[Pradeep N]

Hi,
I want client template feature with ajax postback. So i am using as follows.

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid<Order>()
                 .Name( "OrdersGrid" )
        .Columns(colums => colums.Bound(o => o.TransactionNumber))
        .Scrollable( scrolling => scrolling.Height( 600 ) )
        .Sortable()
        .Pageable(page => page.PageSize(13))
        .Filterable()
        .Groupable()
    %>

My View is a strongly typed view

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<Astroved.Web.Shared.Models.Admin.Order>>" %>

In the controller GetOrderList will return IEnumerable<Astroved.Web.Shared.Models.Admin.Order>

public virtual ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(GetOrdersList());
        }

The items NOT GET BINDED TO THE GRID.
items only get binded when i use as follows

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
                 .Name( "OrdersGrid" )
        .Columns(colums => colums.Bound(o => o.TransactionNumber))
        .Scrollable( scrolling => scrolling.Height( 600 ) )
        .Sortable()
        .Pageable(page => page.PageSize(13))
        .Filterable()
        .Groupable()
    %>

I can't use this since i have to use client template in that. i am advised to use like Grid<T>.

I have used the same procedure for Grid<T> for this and worked out well(Its also a strongly typed view and tried as same as here). I am not sure what i am wrong with.

Thanks In Advance,
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep, 
   This might give some ideas ....   

        <%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
              .Name("CompanyGrid")

               .DataKeys(keys =>
                {
               keys.Add(o => o.cCompanyNo);
                })
                   .DataBinding(dataBinding =>
                          dataBinding.Ajax()
                   .Select("_AjaxBindingCompany", "Company")
                   .Delete("CompanyDelete", "Company"))
              .Columns(columns =>
                {

                    columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyName).Width(185).Title((string)Resources.BCAResources.coxCompany)
                     .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "coCompanyNameTT cName" });
                    columns.Add(o => o.cPhone).Title((string)Resources.BCAResources.stdPhone).Width(75);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cGroupCode).Title((string)Resources.BCAResources.coxGroupCode).Width(100);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cEmail).Format(Html.Mailto("{0}", "{0}")).Encoded(false).Width(150);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cDateUpdated).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Width(85).Title((string)Resources.BCAResources.stdUpdated);
                    columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyNo).Format(Html.ActionLink((String)Resources.BCAResources.stdEdit, "Index", "Work", new { workindex = 2, OtherParms = "{0}" }, null).ToString()).Encoded(false).Title("").Width(32).Filterable(false);

                    columns.Command(commands =>
                    {
                        commands.Delete();
                    }).Width(50).Title("Delete");

                     columns.Add(o => o.cCompanyNo).Width(0)
                    .HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "display:none" })
                    .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "cId" });
                })
               .Pageable()
               .Editable(settings => settings.Enabled(true))
               .Sortable(sort => sort.SortMode(GridSortMode.MultipleColumn))
               .Scrollable(scrolling => scrolling.Height(253))
               .Filterable()
                       %>

  Check out the .DataBinding and .Select as well.
