Send grid data to kendo window with MVC controller

[Marc]

I want to open a kendo window with the data from a grid on the same page. I've done this with single selected items, but not with the list of items in the grid.

What's the proper method to serialize the data?

Here is some code

 

controller

public PartialViewResult WindowPartialView(IEnumerable<MyGridModel> models)

            return PartialView(models);
        }

in window

.LoadContentFrom("WindowPartialView", "MyController")

 

function openPlacardWindow() {

     debugger;
     var grid = $("#MyGrid").data("kendoGrid");
     var gridData = grid.dataSource.data();


     var win = $('#myWindow').data("kendoWindow");
     win.refresh({ data: gridData }); //not correct
     win.center();
     win.open();

 }

Hello,

The refresh method of Kendo Window is using data in a similar way as jQuery ajax would do this. In such case one way to send an array is to use JSON.stringify and expected the data with a variable with the same parameter. Here is the data that worked correctly at my side for sending some dummy data:

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
               data: [
                   { name: "Jane Doe" },
                   { name: "John Doe" }
               ]
           });

           dataSource.fetch(function () {
               var gridData = dataSource.data();
               var win = $('#myWindow').data("kendoWindow");

               win.refresh({
                   datatype: 'json',
                   data: {
                       gritData: JSON.stringify(gridData)
                   }
               }); //not correct
               win.center();
               win.open();
           });

public ActionResult DummyMethod(string gritData)
{
    return PartialView(gritData);
}

You will have to deserialize the gridData on the server side so you could refer to one of the suggestions in this forum thread.

Hope this information will be helpful. If you have further questions please let me know.
