I have create the asp.net MVC 4 application where i am using the entity framework and class "Data" is the model.
AdventureWorksTrainingEntities _dbContext = new AdventureWorksTrainingEntities();
Data _data = new Data(); //Model
Now i want to display the data of the table to the kendo grid. In the controller, i am using the following code:
public ActionResult Index()
{
List<Movie> dataForGrid= _dbContext.Movies.ToList();
return View(dataForGrid);
}
Now i have no idea for displaying the data in Kendo Grid (i am new to kendo and MVC). I have also tried the following but not working:
@model IEnumerable<MvcApp.Models.Data>
@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Grid For Data</h2>
Html.Kendo().Grid<Order>()
.Name("Grid")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource // Not implemented
)
Finally got answer:
View:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<KendoUI.Models.EmployeeViewModel>()
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.name).Title("Name");
columns.Bound(p => p.gender).Title("Gender");
columns.Bound(p => p.designation).Title("Designation").Width("300px");
columns.Bound(p => p.department).Title("Department").Width("300px");
})
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
.Navigatable()
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource // Configure the grid data source
.Ajax()
.Model(model =>
{
model.Id(x => x.id);
})
.Read(read => read.Action("Employee_Read", "Home")) // Set the action method which will return the data in JSON format
)
)
Controller:
public ActionResult Employee_Read([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
{
IQueryable<Bhupendra_employees> Details = _dbContext.Bhupendra_employees;
DataSourceResult result = Details.ToDataSourceResult(request, p => new EmployeeViewModel
{
id = p.id,
name = p.name,
gender = p.gender,
designation = p.designation,
department = p.Bhupendra_Dept.Dept_Description
});
return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Model:
public class EmployeeViewModel
{
public Int32 id { get; set; }
public String name { get; set; }
public String gender { get; set; }
public String designation { get; set; }
public String department { get; set; }
//public DateTime dob { get; set; }
}
