Update Grid from search

[Scott]

Hello,

I am using a Grid to populate an employee directory.  A user can then search by typing into a text box.  The search criteria is being handled by a service call.  The problem is updating the grid with the new data set.  I have found how to put the current grid into a variable, but I have not been able to reset the data source and refresh the grid

var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

Thanks

Though the grid has it's own filter control, if you want to refresh the dataSource after searching for something you will have to set again the possible dataSource parameters and call it's read method.

var grid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');

// if you need to change any parameter sent to the read method

grid.dataSource.transport.options.read.data.vartochange = newvalue;

//

grid.dataSource.read();
