[Solved] Select buttons not appearing on MVC Grid

[Kent Muller]

Hi,

I'm trying to display 'Select' command buttons on my MVC Grid.  Here is my code:

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid<Support.Customer>()
                        .Ajax(ajax => ajax.Action("_AjaxCustomers", "Support", null))
                        .Name("CustomersGrid")
                        .Pageable()
                        .Sortable()
                        .Filterable()
                        .DataKeys(k => k.Add(n => n.Custcode))
                        .Columns(columns =>
                        {
                            columns.Command(n => n.Select()).Title("Select").Width(100);
                            columns.Add(n => n.Custcode).Title("Cust Code");
                            columns.Add(n => n.Contact).Title("Contact");
                            columns.Add(n => n.HomePhone).Title("Home Phone");
                            columns.Add(n => n.Email).Title("Email");
                        })
                    %>

The grid lines are appearing and there is a 'Select' column however the individual Select buttons don't appear.  I haven't seen any examples of displaying a Select button when using Ajax Binding so I assume that it is possible.

Could someone please advise what I may be doing wrong here?

Thanks, Kent.

Hi Kent Muller,

The select command currently works only in server binding mode. I suggest you use client selection as shown in the client selection example.

Hi Atanas,

The Client Selection approach is less desirable due to the ease of selecting a row unintentionally.  I'll embed an ActionLink instead so the users know exactly what they are doing.

Thank you for your reply.

Kent.
