Post All Gridview Data to Controller

[Sofian]

Hi,
I purchased this product and I have some problems.
1. How to post all data in KendoGrid back to controller on button click? The button is html input button. Can anybody provide a very simple sample, please?
2. I also use client template for editing and deleting because I use custom pop up window. So, in each row there are two more columns for editing and deleting single row selected by user. Can I also send one complete row as Json format or single model to the controller? I have no idea how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sofian,

The Grid is not a form element and it cannot be simply submitted to the server. The Grid uses its own transport to send changes to the server, how to configure this is covered in our demos and documentation:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/ajax-editing

The only work-around to this has several limitations which are described here:

http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/submit-form-containing-grid-along-with-other-input-elements

Regarding the second question - again if you are using the editing that the Grid/DataSource provides you can send just the changes that you made to the server.

Kind Regards,

Hello Petur,
Thank you for the reply. I don't use DataSource for creating, editing and deleting (.Create, .Update, .Destroy), the DataSource is just for reading data from the controller/server. Instead, I use custom command because I have to show custom pop up window for editing and deleting.
I actually prefer using the Grid/DataSource for deleting than custom delete button if the delete confirmation can be replaced with KendoWindow. Can I change the delete confirmation with KendoWindow and still using Grid/DataSource (.Destroy)?

Hello Sofian,

Customizing the delete confirmation dialog is not supported out-of-the-box, but you can use the work-around that we have shared in this code library article:

I'd like to POST the data from my grid back to the controller method along with other form input. Is this link still the solution and do the limitations still apply (if paging is enabled, only the current page posts):

Hello Dave,

Here is a slightly newer version of the example:
Post grid data with form

The idea and the limitations are the same, as listed in this example description:

• All the items in the grid will be submitted (no matter if they are updated or not).
• Only the items from the current page will be submitted.
• Server operations must be disabled - ServerOperation(false).
