Passing a view model as parameter to Ajax grid Methode.

[ESSRIDI]

Is it possible to do this ? 
  

View 
Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.listPerson)

         .Name("aGrid")

         .Pageable( paging =>

            paging.PageSize(10) )

 .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select(
    "FindPerson", "Person", new {  searchvm= Model.SearchCriteriaVM }))

         .Columns(columns =>

         {

       

             ......


Controller 

  [GridAction]


        public ActionResult _ListPerson(SearchVM  searchvm )
        {
          List<Person> listp  = ServicePerson.get(searchvm ).ToList();
       
            return PartialView("_ListPerson", new GridModel<List<Person>>
            {
                Data = listp
            });
           
        }


If it's not possible ( and that what I think ) is there any others solutions to do it ?


Thanks,

Hi nate,  I solve my problem by passing my items one by one  on the  "OnDataBinding" client  event.So the  solution can be like this  : 

View 

.....
Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.listPerson)

         .Name("aGrid")

         .Pageable( paging =>

            paging.PageSize(10) )

      .ClientEvents(events => events.OnDataBinding("onDataBinding"))

 .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select( "FindPerson", "Person"))

         .Columns(columns =>

         {

       

             ......

<script type="text/javascript">

    function onDataBinding(e) {
 
        e.data = { Name : $('#Name').val() , Firstname : $('#FirstName').val() };
    }


</script>

my ViewModel 



    public class SearchVM  
    {  
        public string Name{ get; set; }
        public string Firstname  { get; set; }
....
    }



Controller 

  [GridAction]

//now the items should be passed  into searchvm 

        public ActionResult _ListPerson(SearchVM  searchvm )
        {
          List<Person> listp  = ServicePerson.get(searchvm ).ToList();
       
            return PartialView("_ListPerson", new GridModel<List<Person>>
            {
                Data = listp
            });
           
        }

I hope that can help you
