Pass DataSourceRequest as Parameter in Javascript Ajax Call

[Jillian]

I have a page that has a grid and some filter fields (external from the grid).  The filtering gets applied to the grid in the JavaScript - which works fine.  I also have an export button that I need to export the data in my grid - since my grid does not contain all the data that my export needs, my thought was to pass the DataSourceRequest as a parameter to my Ajax call, select my data and then use the "toDataSourceResult()" as happens in my ajax read controller action. This is not working. 

I have the following code in my javascript function that builds my datasource request, and passes it in as a parameter, but my DataSourceRequest object in my controller action contains null values for filter, sort, etc.

var grid = ${"#Persons").data("kendoGrid");
var parameterMap = grid.dataSource.transport.parameterMap;
var requestObject = parameterMap({ Sorts: grid.dataSource.sort(), Filters: grid.dataSource.filter(), Groups: grid.dataSource.group()});

How can I pass the datasource request as a parameter to my Ajax Controller action? I have attached a working sample project.

I resolved this by changing

var requestObject = parameterMap({ Sorts: grid.dataSource.sort(), Filters: grid.dataSource.filter(), Groups: grid.dataSource.group()});

to

var requestObject = parameterMap({ sort: grid.dataSource.sort(), filter: grid.dataSource.filter(), group: grid.dataSource.group()});

and adding my additional parameters I wanted to pass into the ajax controller action to my requestObject, instead of including them in the "data" setting of my javscript ajax call.

Hi Jillian

I'm have exactly the same problem as you and although I change you sample project to what you mentioned on the second post, it still does not work - see attached.

Can you help me find out what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance
