Hello,

I ran into a problem with the Grid when starting a new project. It seems that a viewmodel can't contain a property named Model? If I have a viewmodel as such:

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace Lainalista.Models {

public class ToolViewModel {

public int ID { get; set; }

[MaxLength(100)]

public string Make { get; set; }

[MaxLength(100)]

public string Model { get; set; }

}

And then a Grid definition in a .cshtml file like this:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ToolViewModel>(new List<ToolViewModel>() { new ToolViewModel() { ID = 1, Make = "Makita" } })

.Name("toolsGrid")

.Columns(columns => {

columns.AutoGenerate(true);

})

.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.ID))

.Create(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Create", "Grid"))

.Read(read => read.Action("EditingInline_Read", "Grid"))

.Update(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Update", "Grid"))

.Destroy(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Grid"))

)

Then I get an error and the page load is aborted:
