Binding JSonArray to JQGrid - asp.net-mvc

I'm new to Jquery and JSon and trying to bind the JSON array result to JQGrid.
I can see the JSON result in Controller but not binding in the View.
Please help me on my code. Probably I was missing in the function in the view
This is the function raise when click on button to load results
function LoadOrganisationGrid() {
var predifnedValue = $("#cmdOrgList").val();
jQuery("#gridOrganisation").jqGrid({
url: 'Home/GetOrganisationGridResults?predefinedMatchID=' + predifnedValue,
datatype: "json",
mtype: 'GET',
width: 1030,
height: 275,
colNames: ['Org_MID', 'P_MID', 'Candidate_Detail', 'CompanyName', 'StreetAddress', 'City', 'PostCode', 'Country', 'EmailDomain', 'VATNo', 'IsLinked', 'NotLinked'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'Org_MatchCandidateID', index: 'Org_MatchCandidateID', width: 60 },
{ name: 'PredefinedMatchID', index: 'PredefinedMatchID', width: 50 },
{ name: 'Candidate_Detail', index: 'Candidate_Detail', width: 150 },
{ name: 'CompanyName', index: 'CompanyName', width: 100, align: "right" },

rowList: [10, 20, 30],
pager: '#pager5',
sortname: 'id',
viewrecords: true,
sortorder: "desc",
caption: "Organisations Data"
}).navGrid("#pager5", { edit: false, add: false, del: false });
}
And the controller code below
public JsonResult GetOrganisationGridResults(int predefinedMatchID)
{
var result = new SearchTypeModel
{
ListOrganisationType = GetOrgansiationList(SearchTypeService.GetOrganisationType(predefinedMatchID))
};
return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
View code below
<table id="gridOrganisation" ></table>
<div id="pager5"></div>

jqgrid not showing any results when count exceeds ~9000

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({
// Ajax related configurations
url: jqDataUrl,

}
});
}
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.

get unformatted value of cell in jqgrid as parameter

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: '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: 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, {
theme: 'ui-state-highlight',
life: 5000,
beforeOpen: function (e, m, o) {
e.children('.header').html(title);
}
});
grid.trigger("reloadGrid");
}
}); }
};
},
url: '<%= Url.Action("GetBatchList") %>'
}).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 }
],

jqgrid checkbox column as a group

I would like to have my checkbox column operate as if it were a group, ie I can only check a single check box and if I select a different one all other check boxes will be unchecked.
Below is my grid.
colNames: ['PSN', 'Program Name', 'Comp. Year', 'Primary', 'Select'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'PSN', index: 'PSN', width: 5, sortable: false, search: false, align: 'center', editable: false },
{ name: 'ProgramName', index: 'ProgramName', width: 40, sortable: false, search: false, align: 'left', editable: false },
{ name: 'CompletedYear', index: 'CompletedYear', width: 10, sortable: false, search: false, align: 'left', editable: false },
{ name: 'PrimaryPSN', index: 'PrimaryPSN', width: 10, sortable: false, search: false, align: 'center', editable: false }, // ,formatter: PrimaryPSN,
{ name: 'SurveyPSN', index: 'SurveyPSN', width: 10, sortable: false, search: false, align: 'center', editable: true, edittype: 'checkbox', editoptions: { value: "True:False" }, formatter: 'checkbox', formatoptions: { disabled: false } }, //
],
cellEdit:true,
I have thought about adding an afterEdit event but don't know about looping through the grid to clear anyother checked cells.
You can do this by writing you custom function and giving a class to check box and a particular ID.
{ name: 'Action', index: 'Action', width: 80, align: 'center', formatter: function (cell, options, obj) { return "<input type ='checkbox' class='getcheckbox' id ='chkReviewed_" + ID + "' onclick='SelectedId(" + ID + ")'/>" }}
Now in this "SelectedId(ID)" function you can unchecked all the check box based on class and then select the particular check box based on ID.
Hope this will solve you problem

JqGrid not loading in web page in asp.net mvc3

];
var sortname = 'Orderid';
var sortorder = 'desc';
SetGrid('#jqgprojectnew', '', url, colNames, colModel, sortname, sortorder, -1);
});
</script>
In the Web page view how it is loading
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () {
$("a.button").button();
var url = '';
var colNames = [

'Price',
'Quantity',
'Productname',
'Total Including Tax',
'Email',
'Town',
'Country', 'Postcode', 'Homephone','Workphone','Deliveryname','Deliverytown','Deliveryphone','Deliverypostalcode','Shippingmethod'];
Code for setting grid:
function SetGrid(v_gridCtrl,v_pagingCtrl, v_url, v_colNames, v_colModel, v_sortname, v_sortorder, v_Pagesize) {
if (v_Pagesize == undefined)
v_Pagesize = 100;
$(v_gridCtrl).jqGrid({

//we want to display total records count
viewrecords: true,
//grid height
height: 400,//'100%',
width: '100%',
scrollOffset: 0,
shrinkToFit: true
});
}
My problems are:
The action method which is used in the jqgrid is not hitind and on load the url action result is empty
Add document.ready() in script
Set url like this:
var url = '/ControllerName/Listmanoj'; //If your controller name is TestController, the url should be '/Test/Listmanoj'
Remove the following section:(why do you need that?)
$(document).ready(function () {
$("a.button").button();
var url = '';
var colNames = [
'Orderid',
'Customername',
'Price',
'Quantity',
'Productname',
'Total Including Tax',
'Email',
'Town',
'Country', 'Postcode', 'Homephone','Workphone','Deliveryname','Deliverytown','Deliveryphone','Deliverypostalcode','Shippingmethod'];
Include setGrid in document.ready().
In short, you script section should look like:
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="MetaContent" runat="server">
<table id="jqgprojectnew" style="width: 100%">
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()

Displaying a Blank JQGrid with Column Headers

I want to display JQGrid with all column headers but without any data rows when the page loads.
Based upon user selection through autocomplete i want to populate the JqGrid with data.
The problem is that each time during pageload the grid is automatically populated.
How can i get around this ?
This is how i am using the grid with VS2008 MVC2
jQuery('#jgrid').jqGrid({
autowidth: true,
altRows: true,
altclass: 'grdAltRwClr',
datatype: 'xml',

beforeSelectRow: function(rowid, e) { return false; },
gridComplete: function() { GridComplete() },
colModel: [

Don't provide a url. Instead set your datatype to "local" and use code similar to the following:
var mySearchData = // Get your search data...
$.post('#Url.Action("Getars")', mySearchData, function(gridData) {
var rowIds = $('#carGrid').jqGrid('getDataIDs');
for (var i = 0, len = rowIds.length; i < len; i++) {
var currRow = rowIds[i];
$('#carGrid').jqGrid('delRowData', currRow);
}
$('#carGrid').jqGrid('setGridParam', { data: gridData }).trigger('reloadGrid');
}).error(function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
app.showErrorAlert(jqXHR.responseText);
});
}
