Where do the contents of the combobox on the Telerik demo ASP.NET Core Grid Custom Editing are coming from?

[Alexandre]

Hello,

I am trying to build a grid that has a combobox in it that should be filled from an Ajax request. But based on the demo on the page, I am not being able to determine where the combobox is filled.

I appreciate any help on the matter.

Regards,

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

Based on the phrasing of your question I suppose that you are looking to add a ComboBox Editor for a column of the Grid.

To achieve this you can either specify a UIHint within the Model

        [UIHint("ClientCategory")]
        public CategoryViewModel Category
        {
            get;
            set;
        }

or configure the EditorTemplateName property of the Grid's Column.

.Columns(c=>{
             c.Bound(x=>x.Category).EditorTemplateName("ClientCategory"));    
})

These configuration will search for a View in the Views/Shared/EditorTemplates directory of the project and will use the Component configured in that View as the Editor for the column.

ClientCategory.cshtml

@model Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CategoryViewModel

        @(Html.Kendo().ComboBoxFor(m => m)
              .DataTextField("CategoryName")
              .DataValueField("CategoryID")
              .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%"; data_bind="value: Category" })
              .DataSource(source => source
                    .Ajax()
                    .Read(read =>
                        {
                            read.Action("ActionName","ControllerName");
                        })
                    )
              )
        )

I hope the information above is insightful.

Helllo,

Is it possible to provide a small code sample for this question? But instead of ASP.NET Core, I will be using the JQuery controls.

Hello Alexandre,
