Hello,
I have a model defined as
public class Parent
{
public List<Child> Children { get; set; }
}
public class Child
{
property int Id { get; set;}
property string Name {get; set;}
property int Age {get; set;}
}
My goal is to have a grid on my main page whereas the model is the parent and the grid is used to populate the Children list. I do not want the grid to invoke any server method. It should just populate the Children list. When the parent is saved, I am intending that its Children list will contain the items added within the Parent's POST operation.
I can create the grid, but I can't seem to get it to add items. When I add the toolBar.Create() option, I get the following error;
"The Insert data binding setting is required by the insert command. Please specify the Insert action or url in the DataBinding configuration."
But I don't want any insert action to occur on the server. I just want the grid to populate the Children list on the client.
How can I do this?

Forgot to post my grid, it looks something like:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.Children)
.Name("ChildrenGrid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(l => l.Name);
columns.Bound(l => l.Age);
})
.ToolBar(toolBar =>
{
toolBar.Create();
})
.Sortable()
.Scrollable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Batch(true)
.ServerOperation(false)
.Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
.Model(model =>
{
model.Id(l => l.Id);
model.Field(l => l.Id).Editable(false);
})
)
)
Hello Dave,
You could handle detailInit event and initialize, client-side with JavaScript, the detail template widget. In the context of the event you have reference to the parent row data item from which you can get the children collection.
