MVVM update bind values of object and redraws UI elements of template

[Neeraj]

Hello, 

        I have selectedValue (complex object with 12-16array to which i form grid in template and other 30-35 values bound to numeric textbox) . Initially, the bind selectedValue ovject to template. When i set the object, ui gets generated, when i update the selectedValue , the whole UI gets repainted in View. It renders slow , is it made to redraw UI components again or only values in components should get updated only (no redraw) ?

[Neeraj]

another query would be if there is property of Array Type in object that needs to be converted to kendo.dataSource before making object observable or after making observable object we can still make that property as kendo.dataSource ? or is it not required?

Hi Neeraj,

I am not quite sure if I fully understand your questions. If you are asking whether a change in the model value will trigger re-evaluation of the entire template that renders it, the answer is yes. When a change is determined, the Kendo MVVM framework will automatically re-evaluate (and re-render) the entire template the value belongs to.

As per the second question, could you, please, clarify it? Also, if you can provide us with a small Dojo sample demonstrating the scenario, that would be of great help.
