[Solved] WCF Data Binding

[Ranjith]

Hi Team,

Can you pls tell me whether your MVC Grid supports WCF databinding, if so can you pls send me a simple sample which illustrates the behaviour?

Awaiting for your reply.

Hi,

I think MVC pattern would be better if you use the model/controller approch.

If you bind directly to a WCF service, you may use it own Model, an assum that the controller is the service him self.

But you can get this working by using REST approach and the webHttpBinding :

The WCF interface :

[ServiceContract]
public interface IOrderService
{

        [WebGet(UriTemplate = "Service/GetOrders")]
        [OperationContract]
        IEnumarable<Order> GetOrders();
}

in the grid :

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid<Order>()
.Name("wcfGrid")
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.WebService().Select("http://localhost/Service/GetOrders"))
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(o => o.OrderID).Width(81);
columns.Bound(o => o.Customer.ContactName).Width(200);
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipAddress);
columns.Bound(o => o.OrderDate).Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Width(100);
})
.Sortable()
.Pageable()
.Filterable()
.Scrollable()
%>

I didn't try it but i think it will work fine.
