Row Destroy command to call controller

[Mark]

I am attempting to call a function in the controller when the Destroy button is clicked on a row. The controller will then delete the record in the database. I also need to pass in the ID of the employee to identify which record in the database to delete. Thank you!

This is what I have:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<TelerikAspNetCoreApp1.Models.EmployeeViewModel>()
    .Name("grid")
    .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create().Text("ADD").HtmlAttributes(new { title = "Add Employee" }))
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(p => p.EmployeeName);
        columns.Bound(p => p.Active);
        columns.Command(command =>
        {
            command.Destroy().HtmlAttributes(new { title = "Delete Highlighted Employee" });
        }).Width(150);
    })
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Scrollable()
    .Filterable()
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:450px;" })
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .PageSize(20)
        .Read(read => read.Action("Employee_Read", "Grid"))
        .Destroy(update => update.Action("Employee_Delete", "Grid"))
    )
)

To clarify, "Employee_Read" is getting called and the data is displayed just fine. However, "Employee_Delete" is not getting called when I confirm a deletion of the row.

Hi Mark,

In order for the CRUD operations to work as expected there should be an ID field specified in the DataSource Model. Modify the DataSource configuration so it uses specific field for ID and the delete operation should work as expected:

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
    .Ajax()
    .PageSize(20)
    .Model(model => model.Id(p => p.EmployeeID))
    .Read(read => read.Action("Employee_Read", "Grid"))
    .Destroy(update => update.Action("Employee_Delete", "Grid"))
)

Thank you so much! I spent too long trying to get this to work and now it does.
