7 years ago It's kind of weird how this "grid" is setup. No wonder no one is using it anymore. If I submit a form, how can I get those parameters to pass into the grid query? I can see how I can set it client side, but that's not good at all, since I'm submitting the entire form, why do I need to set it client side as well? Bad design. Zero documentation. You should just be able to pass data into the view and it should display it, end of story. But, no it has a non standard grid config function. bad idea.
Every other data grid (grid.mvc for example) simply uses your view model like so:
from your controller: return View(timeSearchResults); Where timeSearchResults is just a list of objects.
But, mvcgrid.net has only hardcoded server side search code, which seems non standard. Why can't you just pass data into the view and have it appear in the grid?. There's no documentation on how to do that, and every single example has no dynamic data binding, from what I can see.
Mvcgridconfig.cs:
.WithRetrieveDataMethod((options) => { var result = new QueryResult();
using (var db = new SampleDatabaseEntities())
{
result.Items = db.People.Where(p => p.Employee).ToList();
}
return result;
})
