i have an empty div that i want to initialize into a kendo grid using data from Model..it should be something like the following but i am unable to load data
$("#mapsDiv").kendoGrid({
sortable: true,
dataSource: {
transport: {
read:"/Home/About",
dataType: "odata"
},
pageSize: 5
},
pageable: true,
resizable: true,
columnMenu: true,
scrollable:true,
navigatable: true,
editable: "incell"
});
About.cshtml
#model List<KendoExample.Entities.ShortStudent>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12 table-responsive" id="mapsDiv">
</div>
My Home Controller is as follows
List<ShortStudent> students = new List<ShortStudent>();
ShortStudent student1 = new ShortStudent();
student1.birthdate = new DateTime(1999, 4, 30);
student1.classname = "1B";
student1.firstname = "Fredie";
student1.surname = "Fletcher";
student1.studentid = 1;
ShortStudent student2 = new ShortStudent();
student2.birthdate = new DateTime(2010, 5, 4);
student2.classname = "1B";
student2.firstname = "Lee";
student2.surname = "Hobbs";
student2.studentid = 2;
students.Add(student1);
students.Add(student2);
return View(students);
I have seen examples using json but not odata...
Also, there are examples to use it like
#(Html.Kendo().Scheduler<MeetingViewModel>()
.Name("scheduler")
.Editable(false)
.DataSource(ds => ds
.Custom()
.Batch(true)
.Schema(schema => schema
.Model(m =>
{
m.Id(f => f.MeetingID);
m.Field("title", typeof(string)).DefaultValue("No title").From("Title");
m.Field("start", typeof(DateTime)).From("Start");
m.Field("end", typeof(DateTime)).From("End");
m.Field("description", typeof(string)).From("Description");
m.Field("recurrenceID", typeof(int)).From("RecurrenceID");
m.Field("recurrenceRule", typeof(string)).From("RecurrenceRule");
m.Field("recurrenceException", typeof(string)).From("RecurrenceException");
m.Field("isAllDay", typeof(bool)).From("IsAllDay");
m.Field("startTimezone", typeof(string)).From("StartTimezone");
m.Field("endTimezone", typeof(string)).From("EndTimezone");
}))
.Transport(new {
//the ClientHandlerDescriptor is a special type that allows code rendering as-is (not as a string)
read = new Kendo.Mvc.ClientHandlerDescriptor() {HandlerName = "customRead" }
})
)
)
which i am unable to understand/implement so please ignore this kind of a solution.
Currently i see a grid footer that says (1 - 2 of 4852 items) without any header or content(datarows) on my screen. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource(
{
transport: {
read: {
url: '#Url.Action("About", "Home")',
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "json"
}
},
schema: {
model: {
fields: {
firstname: { type: "string" },
surname: { type: "string" },
birthdate: { type: "date" },
classname: { type: "string" }
}
}
},
type: "json",
serverPaging: false,
serverFiltering: true,
serverSorting: false
}
);
$("#mapsDiv")
.kendoGrid(
{
sortable: true,
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: dataSource
},
pageSize: 2
},
pageable: true,
resizable: false,
columnMenu: true,
scrollable:true,
navigatable: true,
editable: "incell",
columns:[{
field: "firstname",
},{
field: "surname",
},{
field: "classname",
},{
field: "age",
}]
});
HomeController
public ActionResult About()
{
....
return View(students);
}
Now the grid with header is there but no data is present..
If i change action to json, it returns plain json on the page
public ActionResult About()
{
....
return Json(students, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Have you tried adding the fields to the grid?
$("#mapsDiv")
.kendoGrid(
{
sortable: true,
dataSource: {
transport: {
read:"/Home/About",
dataType: "odata"
},
pageSize: 5
},
columns: [
{
field: "classname",
title: "Class Name"
},
{
field: "firstname",
title: "First name"
},
{
field: "surname",
title: "Last name"
}
],
pageable: true,
resizable: true,
columnMenu: true,
scrollable:true,
navigatable: true,
editable: "incell"
});
I just visit demo of telerik. Try following. Hope to help, my friend. Or you can visit this link to refer more: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/remote-data-binding.
$("#mapsDiv")
.kendoGrid(
{
sortable: true,
dataSource: {
transport: {
read:"/Home/About",
dataType: "odata"
},
pageSize: 5
},
schema: {
model: {
fields: {
studentid: { type: "number" },
birthdate : { type: "date" },
classname : { type: "string" },
firstname : { type: "date" },
surname : { type: "string" }
}
}
},
pageable: true,
resizable: true,
columnMenu: true,
scrollable:true,
navigatable: true,
editable: "incell"
});
So here is what i found what should have been straight forward :)
var values = #Html.Raw(Json.Encode(#Model));
$("#MapDetails")
.kendoGrid(
{
sortable: true,
dataSource: {
data:values,
pageSize: 2
},
pageable: true,
resizable: false,
columnMenu: true,
scrollable:true,
navigatable: true,
editable: "incell",
columns:[{
field: "firstname",
},{
field: "surname",
},{
field: "classname",
},{
field
: "age",
}]
});
I am using jqgrid version 4.1.2 with MVC4, using loadonce option. When the search result's count exceeds approximately 9000 records, no data is shown up on the grid.
What might be the issue?
Here is the JS code: Update 1
function showCompletedGrid() {
// Set up the jquery grid
$("#jqTableCompleted").jqGrid({

Although the data is being returned and in the correct format, from the controller, as follows, the grid does not show any result.
var jsonData = new
{
page = page,
rows = data
};
return Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
Also is there any limit on number of records or dependency on the browser when returning all the data from server using the loadonce option?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Finally I found the solution for the above problem by tracing the request in Fiddler, in the response title following error was shown:
Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property.
Upon searching for the above error, I found a workaround:
Here
Basically the problem area was not the jqGrid, but was MaxJsonLength property of JavaScriptSerializer which defaults to 2097152 characters ~ 4 MB of data. Source: MaxJsonLength
To get it working, I replaced the following code in my Action method:
return Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
with:
var jsonResult = Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
jsonResult.MaxJsonLength = int.MaxValue;
return jsonResult;
Thanks.
I am trying to get the value of a cell to pass as a parameter in an ajax call for another column in the grid. The cell value I need is formatted to return a url so when I select it it is passing the url instead of the batchID value.
How can I access the value of BatchID without the formatter applied?
$(function () {
$('#search').html('');
$('#grid').GridUnload();
Grid.Home.Grid.setupGrid($('#grid'), $('#pager'), $('#search'));
});
Grid.Home.Grid = {
setupGrid: function (grid, pager, search) {
grid.jqGrid({
colNames: ['Batch ID', 'Job Start Date', 'Job Finish Date', 'Contacts', 'Statements', 'Selected', 'Sent', 'Queued', 'Action'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'BatchID', index: 'BatchID', width: 35, formatter: batch },
{ name: 'JobStartDate', index: 'JobStartDate', width: 55, sortable: false, search: false, formatoptions: { srcformat: 'y/m/dTH:i:s', newformat: 'm/d/Y g:i:s A'} },
{ name: 'JobFinishDate', index: 'JobFinishDate', width: 55, sortable: false, search: false, formatoptions: { srcformat: 'y/m/dTH:i:s', newformat: 'm/d/Y g:i:s A'} },
{ name: 'Contacts', index: 'Contacts', width: 20, align: 'right', sortable: false, search: false },
{ name: 'Statements', index: 'Statements', width: 20, align: 'right', sortable: false, search: false }, //'currencyFormatter' },
{name: 'Selected', index: 'Selected', width: 20, align: 'right', sortable: false, search: false },

{ name: 'Queued', index: 'Queued', width: 30, sortable: false, search: false },
{ name: 'Action', index: 'Action', width: 50, sortable: false, search: false, formatter: action}
],
loadonce: false,
pager: '#pager',
sortname: 'BatchID',
sortorder: "desc",
onCellSelect: function (rowid, cellcontent, e) {
if (cellcontent == '8') {
var rowObject = grid.getRowData(rowid);
if (rowObject.Action === 'Add To Queue'){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '<%= Url.Action("UpdateBatch") %>',
data: { BatchID: rowObject.BatchID },
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
blockElement($('.grid'));
},
complete: function (xhr, status) {
unblockElement($('.grid'));
},
success: function (data) {
var title = $('<h6>', { html: data.Title, 'class': 'jgrowl-header' });
$.jGrowl(data.Message, {

grid.trigger("reloadGrid");
}
}); }
};
},

}).navGrid('#pager', { edit: false, add: false, del: false, search: false, refresh: true });
grid.filterToolbar({ stringResult: true, searchOnEnter: false });
}
};
function action(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
if (rowObject.Action == 'Add To Queue'){
options.colModel.classes = 'show-link';
return 'Add To Queue'
}
else {
options.colModel.classes = '';
return '';
}
};
function batch(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
var t = rowObject.BatchID;
return '' + t + ' ';
};
</script>
I used jsonmap and added another column that was hidden to hold the value of batchID unformatted. Now the grid looks like this.
Grid.Home.Grid = {
setupGrid: function (grid, pager, search) {
grid.jqGrid({
colNames: ['Batch', 'Job Start Date', 'Job Finish Date', 'Contacts', 'Statements', 'Selected', 'Sent', 'Queued', 'Action', ''],
colModel: [
{ name: 'BatchIDLink ', index: 'BatchID', jsonmap: 'BatchID', width: 35, formatter: link },
{ name: 'JobStartDate', index: 'JobStartDate', width: 55, sortable: false, search: false, formatoptions: { srcformat: 'y/m/dTH:i:s', newformat: 'm/d/Y g:i:s A'} },
{ name: 'JobFinishDate', index: 'JobFinishDate', width: 55, sortable: false, search: false, formatoptions: { srcformat: 'y/m/dTH:i:s', newformat: 'm/d/Y g:i:s A'} },
{ name: 'Contacts', index: 'Contacts', width: 20, align: 'right', sortable: false, search: false },
{ name: 'Statements', index: 'Statements', width: 20, align: 'right', sortable: false, search: false }, //'currencyFormatter' },
{name: 'Selected', index: 'Selected', width: 20, align: 'right', sortable: false, search: false },
{ name: 'Sent', index: 'Sent', width: 30, sortable: false, search: false, sortable: false, search: false },
{ name: 'Queued', index: 'Queued', width: 30, sortable: false, search: false },
{ name: 'Action', index: 'Action', width: 50, sortable: false, search: false, formatter: queue },
{ name: 'BatchIDVal', index: 'BatchID', jsonmap: 'BatchID', hidden: true }
],
I'm using ASP.Net MVC 4 with a jqGrid, and I'm trying to pass an additional value from the form into the Add and Edit controller methods when jqGrid add/edits a record. My jqGrid looks like this:
$('#jqgRulesSetupVariablesList').jqGrid({
data: JSON.stringify(("#GroupDDL").valueOf()),
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
//url from wich data should be requested
url: '#Url.Action("GetRulesSetupVariables")',
ondblClickRow: function (rowid) {
jQuery(this).jqGrid('editGridRow', rowid,
{ url: '#Url.Action("UpdateRulesSetupVariable")', recreateForm: true, closeAfterEdit: true, closeOnEscape: true, reloadAfterSubmit: false });
},
//type of data
datatype: 'json',
//url access method type
mtype: 'POST',
//columns names
colNames: ['ID', 'Name', 'Description', 'Type'],
//columns model
colModel: [
{ name: 'ID', index: 'ID', align: 'left', width: '30px', editable: false, key: true },
{ name: 'Name', index: 'Name', align: 'left', width: '100px', editable: true, edittype: 'text', editoptions: { maxlength: 20 }, editrules: { required: true } },
{ name: 'Description', index: 'Description', align: 'left', width: '260px', editable: true, edittype: 'text', editoptions: { maxlength: 80 }, editrules: { required: true } },
{ name: 'Type', index: 'Type', align: 'left', width: '25px', editable: true, edittype: 'text', editoptions: { maxlength: 1 }, editrules: { required: true } },
],
//pager for grid
pager: $('#jqgRulesSetupVariablesPaging'),
//number of rows per page
rowNum: 10,
//initial sorting column
sortname: 'Name',
//initial sorting direction
sortorder: 'asc',
//we want to display total records count
viewrecords: true,
//grid height
height: 230,
width: 450,
});
$('#jqgRulesSetupVariablesList').jqGrid('navGrid', '#jqgRulesSetupVariablesPaging',
{ add: true, del: false, edit: true, search: false },
// Edit Options
{ url: '#Url.Action("UpdateRulesSetupVariable")', closeAfterEdit: true, closeOnEscape: true, editData: { GroupName: function () { return "ABC"; } } },
// Add Options
{ url: '#Url.Action("InsertRulesSetupVariable")', closeAfterAdd: true, closeOnEscape: true, editData: { GroupName: function () { return "ABC"; } } },
// Delete options
{}
);
My controller is:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult UpdateRulesSetupVariable(RulesSetupVariableViewModel viewModel, string GroupName)
{
bool updateSuccess = UpdateRulesSetupVariable_Internal(viewModel);
return Json(updateSuccess);
}
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult InsertRulesSetupVariable(RulesSetupVariableViewModel viewModel, string GroupName)
{
bool updateSuccess = UpdateRulesSetupVariable_Internal(viewModel);
return Json(updateSuccess);
}
and my model:
public class RulesSetupVariableViewModel
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
}
The ID, Name, Description and Type are all coming through just fine, but the GroupName is not.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
I figured it out. Dumb mistake. I was using the doubleClick to edit the row. I modified this line
jQuery(this).jqGrid('editGridRow', rowid,
{ url: '#Url.Action("UpdateRulesSetupVariable")',
recreateForm: true,
closeAfterEdit: true,
closeOnEscape: true,
reloadAfterSubmit: false });
},
to this:
jQuery(this).jqGrid('editGridRow', rowid,
{ url: '#Url.Action("UpdateRulesSetupVariable")',
recreateForm: true,
closeAfterEdit: true,
closeOnEscape: true,
reloadAfterSubmit: false,
editData: { GroupName: function () { return $("#GroupDDL").val(); } }
},
This fixed my problem.
I am currently running the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var updateDialog = {
url: '<%= Url.Action("ABM", "Periodo") %>'
, closeAfterAdd: true
, closeAfterEdit: true

$("#fecha_inicio").datepicker({ autoSize: true, showOn: 'both', dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy' });
$("#fecha_fin").datepicker({ autoSize: true, showOn: 'both', dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy' });
}
, onclickSubmit: function(params) {
var ajaxData = {};
var list = $("#list");
var selectedRow = list.getGridParam("selrow");
rowData = list.getRowData(selectedRow);
ajaxData = { periodoNum: rowData.periodoId };
return ajaxData;
}
, width: "400"
};
$.jgrid.nav.addtext = "Agregar";
$.jgrid.nav.edittext = "Editar";
$.jgrid.nav.deltext = "Borrar";

],
pager: $('#listPager'),
rowNum: 20,
rowList: [5, 10, 20],
sortname: 'id',
sortorder: "desc",
viewrecords: true,
imgpath: '/Content/ui-lightness/Images',
width: "900",
height: "400",
ondblClickRow: function(rowid, iRow, iCol, e) {

}
}).navGrid('#listPager',
{
edit: true, add: true, del: true, search: false, refresh: true
},
updateDialog,
updateDialog,
updateDialog
);
});
</script>
But when data entry is only possible using only the datepicker of fecha_inicio.
I have read several examples web, but could not find the solution, What am I doing wrong?
apparently the point of failure occurred with
showOn: 'both'
when it was changed to
showOn: 'button'
worked correctly
