Using jQuery.getJSON to fill dataSource

[Peter]

Hi,

I am programming a MVC3 project and using jQuery to retrieve data. While working on this I stumbled upon the following issue. I'll post a code sample to illustrate this:

jQuery.getJSON("@Url.Action("DashboardData", "Dashboard")", function(ds) {

    $("#projectStateChart").kendoChart({

        theme: "black",

        title: { text: "" },

        legend: { position: "right" },

        dataSource: { data: ds.SummaryDataSource },

        series: [{ type: "pie", field: "Count", categoryField: "State", startAngle: 160, padding: 0 }]

    }).data("kendoChart");

     

    $("#outputText").text(ds.SummaryDataSource);

});

As you can see I am fetching data from a Action. This works well as the #outputText is showing well formatted JSON. When copying this text and pasting in the code above I get a perfectly working graph. But when using "data: ds.SummaryDataSource" (which should be the same) it is not working. How can I convert the string ds.SummaryDataSource to a KendoUI DataSource?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Peter

Hi
    Im also facing the same issue as mentioned..

I used jQuery.getJSON("ControllerName/MethodName",function (data){

$("#projectStateChart").kendoChart({

        theme: "black",

        title: { text: "" },

        legend: { position: "right" },

        dataSource: { data: ds.SummaryDataSource },

        series: [{ type: "pie", field: "Count", categoryField: "State", startAngle: 160, padding: 0 }]

    }).data("kendoChart");

}

In my controller method i have
Public ActionResult MethodName()
{
return JSON(ModelClass.MyData);

}


The controller method gets fired but i don see any graph..

Please help Telerik Team

Hi Raj,

As I have mentioned in my previous message, information about the actual structure of the JSON result will be appreciated.
