Razor AJAX update as Post

[Roderick Prince]

The Update request below is being sent as an HttpGet - how do you change the transport to indicate that it should be a post?

@(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<CIC.Web.UI.Models.TaskViewModel>()
    .Name("scheduler")
    .Date(DateTime.Now)
    .StartTime(DateTime.Now)
    .ShowWorkHours(true)
    .Height(600)
    .Views(views =>
    {
        views.DayView();
        views.WorkWeekView(workWeekView => workWeekView.Selected(true));
        views.WeekView();
        views.MonthView();
        views.AgendaView();
    })
    .Editable(editable =>
    {
        editable.TemplateName("_EditorForEventTemplate");
    })
    .Events(e =>
    {
        e.Edit("scheduler_edit");
        e.Change("scheduler_change");
    })
    .DataSource(d => d
        .Model(m =>
        {
            m.Id(f => f.TaskID);
            m.Field(f => f.Title).DefaultValue("New Event");
            m.Field(f => f.SponsorID);
            m.Field(f => f.ContactEMail);
        })
        .Events(e => e.Error("error_handler"))
        .ServerOperation(true)
        .Read(read => read.Action("Events_Read", "Home").Data("getAdditionalData"))
        .Create("Events_Create", "Home")
        .Destroy("Events_Destroy", "Home")
        .Update("Events_Update", "Home")
    )
    .Resources(resource =>
    {
        resource.Add(tvm => tvm.SponsorID)
            .Title("CompanyName")
            .DataTextField("DBAName")
            .DataValueField("CompanyID")
            .DataSource(ds => ds.Read(read => read.Action("GetSponsors", "Home")));

        resource.Add(tvm => tvm.EventType)
            .Title("Description")
            .DataTextField("Description")
            .DataValueField("Code")
            .DataSource(ds => ds.Read(read => read.Action("GetEventTypes", "Home")));
    })
    
)

Hi Roderick,

As you may know the default verb used by the Scheduler widget of UI for ASP.NET MVC is POST. However, you should verify that you have correctly setup the script references and the kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js file is included. Information on how to setup the ASP.NET MVC project can be found in the following help articles depending on the version used:

- Kendo UI in ASP.NET MVC 3 applications
- Kendo UI in ASP.NET MVC 4 applications
- Kendo UI in ASP.NET MVC 5 applications

Rosen,

If I am not mistaken I would not be in a position to be concerned about how it is posting data back to the site if the js file references were not in place. I did confirm that the site is configured per your links. So to return to my question, the update request is occurring via an HttpGet when it should be via an HttpPost - how can I change the routing?

Note if I have the [HttpPost] attribute on my controller action I get a 404 error and see from the Request Headers in fiddler that it attempted the request via GET.

Hi Roderick,

As I have mentioned in my previous post, the default verb for all CRUD operations of the ASP.NET MVC Scheduler wrapper is POST. Therefore, sending a GET request most probably signals for incorrect configuration. Could you please provide a small runnable sample which exhibits the behavior in question. This will allow us to get better understanding about your configuration and provide you with more to-the-point answer.

You can change the verb via the DataSource -> Update action configuration:

.DataSource(d => d
     /*..*/
     .Update(update => update.Action("Update", "Scheduler").Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
 )

However, note that if kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js is missing or not correctly referenced, the updates will still not work as expected.
