[Solved] Search fields and Grid Results on the same page???

[mark baer]

I am new to MVC so bear with me...I understand most of the principals, but most of the samples I see are fairly simplistic(not necessarily Telerik, all MVC samples)...but when I create a Search page, our users would like their search fields AND results AND Details on the same "Page"...Using your tools, in the webforms world, I can achieve that using your Panel Bar with three "sections"...one for Search fields, one for search results and one for Item Details...Using the postback/ajax, I can hide/show each panel as necessary and give the user some cool functionality(sliding panels)...In the MVC world, I'm not sure how to accomplish similar functionality...Most samples I see have the Grid on a page by itself or the Search fields on a page by themself, etc...I'm just not sure how to get multiple partial views working together on the same "page" if you will...This isn't necessarily a Telerik problem, more of an MVC architecture question, so I'm not sure if you will help me with this or not, but if you or anybody out there could shed light on how to design more complex UI's using MVC and the Telerik Controls, that would be great.

Much appreciated.

Hello Mark,

Generally speaking, What you wan to be achieved can be done with Ajax and the Grid component's client-side API. For example you could use the filter() method to do the filtering (searching) of data.

To be able to provide you with more specific reply however, we will need some sample project that shows your setup and detailed description of the functionality that you want to implement. If you send us this information, we will check it and get back to you with more precise suggestions.

Best wishes,
