Data Binding Overview

By default, the Kendo UI Grid for jQuery automatically binds to data.

Immediately after the Grid loads, the DataSource sends a query and the data is loaded to the component. To disable this behavior, set the autoBind option of the component to false, as shown below.

js

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
    autoBind: false,
    // Other configuration.
});
