I have a MVC3 grid control ajax bound inside a detail page ("/Deal/Details/ASW%2093-2):
I setup the grid GridBindingSettingsBuilder.Select Method (String, String, Object) as follow:

.DataBinding(dataBinding =>

dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_PropertiesDetailsForLoanHierarchyAjax", "Deal", new

{ loanID = "<#= LOAN_ID #>" }))

The code generated in the client reads ("ASW%2093-2" was the ID of the Detail action):

ajax:{"selectUrl":"/Deal/_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax/ASW%2093-2?DealID=2"}

I expected to see:

ajax:{"selectUrl":"/Deal/_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax/2"}<BR>

This happens in all the Selects of this page (I have a details view grid inside this grid with the same problem). How do I get rid of the Details action route?
I have similar code in other pages (index pages) and the url created if fine.
Thanks

Loan_ID is the parameter needed to get loans to load a loans grid.
I have the following hierarchy Deal -> Loan -> Property. In a Deal Details Page (/Deal/Details/ASW%2094-C2) all the URLs get build with the page Route parameter "ASW%2094-C2" in it.
In the outer grid:
I have in View (.cshtml file):
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax", "Deal", new { dealID = @Model.DealID.ToString() }))
I get in client:
ajax:{"selectUrl":"/Deal/_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax/ASW%2094-C2?dealID=3"}

In the inner grid:
I have in View (.cshtml):
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_PropertiesDetailsForLoanHierarchyAjax", "Deal", new { loanID = "<#= LOAN_ID #>" }))
I get in client:
ajax:{%22selectUrl%22:%22/Deal/_PropertiesDetailsForLoanHierarchyAjax/ASW%252094-C2?loanID=%3c#=LOAN_ID#%3e%22}

Is it possible to not have the Details Page Route parameter in the URL?
ajax:{"selectUrl":"/Deal/_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax/3"}
instead of
ajax:{"selectUrl":"/Deal/_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax/ASW%2094-C2?dealID=3"}

By the way, the problem I had was that the controller's actions were not been called and, therefore, the grid was not loading. I thought that it had with the route since the URL had that extra information, but the problem was that the outer grid had a '>' at the end ("LoansHierarchyGrid>") of the name that caused it not to work at all. Even when I got it to work, I would like to know if I can build a cleaner URL.

Thank you

I thought I was very explicit, but I will make it even simpler. Assumptions: reader knows ASP.Net MVC and Telerik Grids with Ajax binding. Here is the scenario:

If I have a grid with Ajax binding in an ASP.Net MVC page with the following:

Page URL where the grid resides (this is how I get the page with the grid):

“Mydomain.com/Deal/Details/ASW%2094-C2” and that translates to DomainName/[Controller]/[Action]/[id].

Code in the View (.cshtml file) to set up grid:
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax", "Deal", new { dealID = @Model.DealID.ToString() }))

Code that gets to the client (viewing source in browser):
ajax:{%22selectUrl%22:%22/Deal/_PropertiesDetailsForLoanHierarchyAjax/ASW%252094-C2?loanID=%3c#=LOAN_ID#%3e%22}

Please note that the URL for the action _PropertiesDetailsForLoanHierarchyAjax contains and extra parameter or id (“ASW%252094-C2”). How do I get rid of it?????? And have a URL as this “/Deal/_LoansForDealHierarchyAjax/3” where 3 is the ID needed in the grid controller action that returns the Jason for Ajax binding (_PropertiesDetailsForLoanHierarchyAjax).
