server filtering

[Mark]

below is the code on the documentation page for server filtering a dropdownlist
Does this actually do anything ?
namespace Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Controllers
{
    using System.Web.Mvc;

    public partial class DropDownListController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult ServerFiltering()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Hello Mark,

Indeed the mvc code, does not shows the proper implementation of the demo - this will be fixed. However, you can revise the proper controller and method in your offline demos(GetProducts action in Home controller). The actual logic, in the controller is as follows:

public JsonResult GetProducts(string text)
        {
            var northwind = new SampleEntities();


            var products = northwind.Products.Select(product => new ProductViewModel
            {
                ProductID = product.ProductID,
                ProductName = product.ProductName,
                UnitPrice = product.UnitPrice ?? 0,
                UnitsInStock = product.UnitsInStock ?? 0,
                UnitsOnOrder = product.UnitsOnOrder ?? 0,
                Discontinued = product.Discontinued
            });

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
            {
                products = products.Where(p => p.ProductName.Contains(text));
            }

            return Json(products, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
