Updating parent and child records with a single save button

[Annie]

Hi,

In a Telerik kendo hierarchical grid for asp.net mvc is it possible to update both parent and child tables with a single save button on the parent grid

Thanks,
Annie

Hi Annie,

Saving both parent and child Grids using a single request is not supported out of the box. A similar behavior could be achieved by subscribing to the parent Grid's DataSource requestEnd event. Once the event is triggered you can check if the type of the request is "create" or "update", get the instances of all child Grids, iterate over their data items, set  a value for the ID field using the one got from the response and finally sync the child Grid's dataSources.

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to give example code, I am very new to Telerik Kendo UI

Hello Annie,

I am afraid that we do not have an example meeting your criteria and implementing the described functionality would require a custom solution that is beyond the scope of our support services.
