Update method not firing.

[Kelso]

I am not sure what I am missing here, I have a grid that I just want to update, not create or destroy. I thought I had done this correctly, but the save button does not fire my update method on the user controller.  

  <div id="CampaignGrid">
        @(Html.Kendo().Grid<SubCampaign>()
              .Name("grid")
              
              .Columns(columns =>
              {
                  columns.Bound(c => c.CampaignName);
                  columns.Bound(c => c.Status).ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' value='#= Status #' " +
                                                                "# if (Status) { #" +
                                                                    "checked='checked'" +
                                                                "# } #" +
                                                            "/>");
              })
              .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Save())
                    .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
                    .DataSource(dataSource => 
                        dataSource.Ajax()
                        .Batch(true)
                        .Model(model =>
                        {
                            model.Id(campaign => campaign.Id);
                            model.Field(campaign => campaign.CampaignName).Editable(false);
                            model.Field(campaign => campaign.Status);
                        })
                        .Read(read => read.Action("SwitchCampaignRead", "User"))
                        .Update(update => update.Action("SwitchCampaigns", "User")))
                        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height: 380px;" })
                        .Scrollable()
                        .Sortable()
                        .Pageable(pageable => pageable
                            .Refresh(true)
                            .PageSizes(true)
                            .ButtonCount(5))

              )
    </div>

Ok, after looking at this for a while, basically the template does not actually create a checkbox that is wired to the grid, its not until you click on the cell that the checkbox is replaced by one from the kendo scripts that is properly wired to do the call to the update method, so do I
A) use a different checkbox template.
or 
B) Is it possible to make the entire cell clickable to update the checkbox... if that is even possible with the control being replaced by the grid.

any help is appreciated.

Hi Kelso,

I would suggest to check the following example in our CodeLibrary which demonstrates how to achieve the desired behavior:

• CheckBox Column and InCell Editing

Sadly, it was simply faster for me to create my own grid and do it myself. I find the multiple ways to do the same thing syntactically, confusing, I do something one way, but cannot find the same syntax in any of the demos for what I want to do. I find that really frustrating.
