[Solved] Paging: passing whole model into ajax databinding

[Trancedified]

Hello,

I have a grid that gets data from a WCF Service. When I'm trying to do paging, I'd like to pass the whole model back into the _Paging ActionResult so that I can post to the WCF Service again and bring back the data. Is this possible? How else can I get the values I need to pass to the WCF Service? As for now the objRequest parameter inside the _Paging method is null.

Here's my view:

Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.objGetEventSchedule_Response.EventSchedules.ToList())
.Name("Grid")
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Bound(o => o.MasterScheduleID);
    columns.Bound(o => o.EventScheduleID);
    columns.Bound(o => o.EventDatetime);
    columns.Bound(o => o.EventType);
    columns.Bound(o => o.CustomerID);
    columns.Bound(o => o.CREATEDDATE);
    columns.Bound(o => o.LAST_UPDATE_TS);
    columns.Bound(o => o.UPDATE_BY);
})
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_Paging", "GetEventScheduleRequest"))
.Pageable(paging => paging.Style(pagerStyles).Position(position).PageTo(currentPage))
.Render();

Here's my controller:

[GridAction]
public ActionResult _Paging(CombinedGetEventSchedule objRequest)
{

    var objList = new List<CombinedGetEventSchedule>();
    objList.Add(GetData(objRequest));

    IEnumerable<CombinedGetEventSchedule> objCombined;
    objCombined = objList;

    return View(new GridModel<CombinedGetEventSchedule>
    {

        Data = objCombined
    });

}

Hello Chris,

To send additional values to the server when your Grid is rebinding ( paging/sorting/filter performed)  you should use the OnDataBinding event - there is an example in the documentation which shows how to do it.
I hope this helps.
