Hi There ...

How to use tag helper on Grid with Local datasource

@model PromiseOnline.Models.ViewModels.PerintahKerjaHarianViewModel

@using PromiseOnline.Models.ViewModels

@{
    IList<PkhLphDetailFleetViewModel> PkhLphDetailFleet1ViewModels = Model.PkhLphDetailFleet1ViewModels;
    IList<PkhLphDetailFleetViewModel> PkhLphDetailFleet2ViewModels = Model.PkhLphDetailFleet2ViewModels;
}

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(PkhLphDetailFleet1ViewModels)
    .Name("gridPkhDetailFleet1Preview")
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .ServerOperation(false)

Hello Usep,

For better visibility from our community, I am pasting my answer from the ticket on the same topic:

I understand that this functionality might be important for your project, however, for the time being, it is not achievable with the Tag helpers.

When Html helpers are used, the list of data is passed as a parameter to the constructor of the Grid. This initializes the data configuration of the dataSource:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/configuration/data

However, the Tag helpers have no constructor or a property that could do the same functionality. 

Having said that, the only possible solution is to read the data as demonstrated in the demos.

Is it still not possible to easily achieve this? 

<kendo-grid bind-to="@Model.Items"  /> 

Being able to do something like the above just feels like very basic behaviour.

Hello Floris,

I am sorry to say that this behavior is still not achievable with the Tag helpers, and the only possible workaround is using the HTML helpers.
