Telerik Grid for MVC2

[Alan]

Hi,

I have been struggling in looking for a gridview like control using in my MVC 2 project.
What I need is to display about 3000 records (either paging or not) and let the user can select 1 record. No need to add/edit/delete records.

This project will be used in-house only, ie. for our staff's use.

Can I download the Telerik extension for that purpose?

And any sample project so that I can get started? I would use a model that is populated with data and fill up the grid if possible.

Thanks

Hi,

VWD 2010 Express, MVC 2.
I have installed the Extensions for ASP.NET MVC Q3 2010.
Added the Telerik.Web.Mvc into my project's References.

Modified the web.config:
<pages>
     <namespaces>
       <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
       <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
       <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
       <add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
       <add namespace="Telerik.Web.Mvc" />
     </namespaces>
   </pages>


Added into the controller unit:
using Telerik.Web;
using Telerik;


When run my application, the error occurred in the view:
 <% Html.Telerik().Grid<ManagerBusiness>()
                 .Name("MyGrid")
                 .Columns(

It looks like does not recognise HTML.Telerik.

Many thanks.

Hi,

This is the updated of my view:

In the view, I changed the inherits:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<MyApplication.Models.Category>>" %>

and also

<% Html.Telerik().Grid<MyApplication.Models.Category>()

Then run and get the error message:

Compiler Error Message: CS1061:

'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MyApplication.Models.Category>>' does not contain a definition for 'Telerik' and no extension method 'Telerik' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MyApplication.Models.Category>>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Why it does not know my class "Category"?

Please help.

Hi,

Anyone here can help me please?

Or to get me started would like a very simple code to populate the Grid first? No need to bind to a table or JQuery something like that, just a for loop to populate the grid is enough to get started.

I think the easiest thing to do is use the telerik template mvc2 project within VS, and then look at the online examples and the help guide....

I have the same issue. Anyone? Michael your "non answer" is helping no one. Please only post if you can contribute.

Hi guys,

 I cannot tell what might be the exact reason for the original problem but Michael have a point. As he suggested, make sure that you've followed all steps from the corresponding documentation article, or use the Wizard from the VS extensions.

As for a simple project that show how to bind the Grid, you can choose one from our Code Library section - like, for example, this one.

All the best,
