Having a simple issue with binding data to a dropdown. Trying to follow from the demo code. The code for RemoteDataSource_GetFirms never gets called. Missing some basic concept I think.

Here is the controller:

public class ImpersonationController : Controller

{

public ActionResult Impersonation()

{

return View();

}

// GET: Impersonation

public ActionResult RemoteDataSource() //RemoteDataSource()

{

return View();

}

public JsonResult RemoteDataSource_GetFirms(string text)

{

var fo = new FirmObject();

var firms = fo.GetFirms();

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))

{

firms = firms.Where(p => p.SourceDataset.Contains(text));

}

return Json(firms, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

}

View:

@{

Layout = null;

}

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

<title>Impersonate</title>

</head>

<body>

<div class="demo-section k-content">

<h4>Select a Firm</h4>

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()

.Name("ddFirms")

.DataTextField("SourceDataset")

.DataValueField("FirmID")

.DataSource(source =>

{

source.Read(read =>

{

read.Action("RemoteDataSource_GetFirms", "Impersonation");

});

})

.HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%" })

)

</div>

</body>

</html>
