Serializing grid data to json string

[Shabtai]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement grid serialization example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10324565/how-to-get-the-displayed-data-of-kendogrid-in-json-format

$.ajax({
    type: 'post',
    data: kendo.stringify($("#Grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.view()),
    dataType: "json",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    url: '@Url.Action("CreateExcelFile","Helper")',
    success: function (response) {
    },
    error: function (request, status, errorThrown) {
    }
});

On server side I get, Request.Form.Count = 0...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks
Shabtai

Hello Shabtai,

The form data will be empty since you are posting the data as JSON. You should use the model binder to get the items on the server:

public ActionResult Action(IEnumerable<MyModel> models)
{

You should also use the toJSON method to convert the view to an array of plain JavaScript objects. Regards,
