Not able to bind Resources to DataSource

[Alexander]

I want to group my scheduler by locations and I'm trying to do so by binding my resources to a datasource. But I can't seem to get it to work (the commented out example - where I use a hardcoded example works fine).

@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<NFFO_MVC4.Models.BookingViewModel>()

    .Name("Scheduler")

    .Date(DateTime.Today)

    .StartTime(DateTime.Today.AddHours(7))

    .EndTime(DateTime.Today.AddHours(20))

    .Height(600)

    .Width(2000)

    .Messages(message =>

        {

            message.AllDay("Hele dagen");

            message.Today("I dag");

        })

    .Timezone("Europe/Copenhagen")

    .Views(views =>

    {

        views.DayView(day => day.Title("Dag"));

        views.WeekView(week => week.DateHeaderTemplate("<span title='#=kendo.toString(date, 'dddd dd.MMM')#'>#=kendo.toString(date, 'ddd')#</span>").Title("Uge").Selected(true));

        views.MonthView(month => month.Title("Måned"));

        views.AgendaView();

    })

        .Group(group => group.Resources("Lokationer"))

        .Resources(resource => resource.Add(m => m.LokationId)

                                    .Title("Lokation")

                                    .Name("Lokationer")

                                    .DataTextField("Navn")

                                    .DataValueField("Id")

                                    .DataSource(ds => ds.Read(read => read.Action("GetLocations", "Scheduler"))))


        //.Resources(resource => resource.Add(m => m.LokationId)

        //                                .Title("Lokation")

        //                                .Name("Lokationer")

        //                                .DataTextField("Text")

        //                                .DataValueField("Value")

        //                                .DataColorField("Color")

        //                                .BindTo(new[] {

        //                            new { Text = "Parken Stadium", Value = 1, Color = "#6eb3fa" },

        //                            new { Text = "Sportspladsen", Value = 2, Color = "#f58a8a" },}))

        .DataSource(d => d

        .Model(m => m.Id(f => f.BookingId))

        .Read("GetBookings", "Scheduler")

    )

)

EDIT: Have both tried with or without 'read => read.Action'

I am pulling the data from the following actions in the SchedulerController:

public ActionResult GetBookings([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
{
    IEnumerable<BookingViewModel> bookingViewModels = _db.Bookinger.Select(booking => new BookingViewModel
        {
            BookingId = booking.Id,
            LokationId = booking.Lokation.Id,
            Title = booking.Aktivitet,
            Description = booking.Aktivitet + " (" + booking.Forening + ")",
            Start = booking.Start,
            End = booking.Slut,
            IsAllDay = false
        });

    return Json(bookingViewModels.ToDataSourceResult(request), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

public ActionResult GetLocations([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
{
    return Json(_db.Lokationer.ToDataSourceResult(request), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Hello Alexander,

The use of DataSourceRequest is not required when binding the resources DataSource. Therefore, you should remove it from the Action method:

public ActionResult GetLocations()
{
    return Json(_db.Lokationer, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

As you already have found out, I'm quite new to the MVC framework and I was not aware of that. Thanks for the help!
