ToDataSourceResult does not enable a function to bind to a VM #13

General

The Kendo.Mvc.Extensions ToDataSourceResult has an overload that enables a function to be called in order to bind the result to VM/DTO this overload is missing in Kendo.DynamicLinq where only 3 overloads exist.

Attempts to work around

I tried to use the Kendo.Mvc.Extensions but the filters and sorts don't match up. Using the Kendo.Mvc.Extensions made a huge improvement in performance as the DTO conversion was made after the data was filtered and sorted.

It will be great to have it. 10x

Just wondering if this has been looked at or addressed. I keep seeing examples of this mapping functionality, but do not see it in the release.

Ran into this just recently. My work around using AutoMapper: DataSourceResult retVal = result.ToDataSourceResult(request); retVal.Data = retVal.Data.OfType<RawData>().Select((raw) => _mapper.Map<ViewModel>(raw)ToList(); return retVal;
