Inline Editing is not working in Kendo MVC


Below is my .cshtml

@using Kendo.Mvc.UI
@model IEnumerable<WebApplication1.Models.DemoViewModel>   

@{
    Layout = null;
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}

                              .Resizable(resize => resize.Columns(true))
                              .Scrollable()
                              .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource // Configure the grid data source
                              .Ajax()
                              .PageSize(10)                             
                              .Read(read => read.Action("EditingInline_Read", "Home"))
                              .Update(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Update", "Home"))
                              .Destroy(destroy=> destroy.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Home")
                              .Model(model =>{ model.Id(x => x.id);})                             
                               )
            )
        </div>
    </div>
    </div>

Below is my controller

public ActionResult EditingInline_Read([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
{

    List<TestDemo> _tst = new List<TestDemo>();
    _tst.Add(new TestDemo { name = "ddd", gender = "ffs", designation = "ff", department = "fdf" });
    _tst.Add(new TestDemo { name = "ddd1", gender = "ffs1", designation = "ff1", department = "fdf1" });

    DemoViewModel model = new DemoViewModel();
    model.Testlist = _tst.AsEnumerable().Select(x => x);
    DataSourceResult result = model.Testlist.ToDataSourceResult(request);
    return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult EditingInline_Update([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, DemoViewModel product)
{
    if (product != null && ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        //productService.Update(product);
    }            
    return Json(new[] { product }.ToDataSourceResult(request, ModelState));
}

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult EditingInline_Destroy([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, DemoViewModel product)
{
    if (product != null)
    {
        //productService.Destroy(product);
    }

    return Json(new[] { product }.ToDataSourceResult(request, ModelState));
}

EditingInline_Read is being hit by debugger but Update and Destroy are not being hit by debugger. Can someone suggest what is the approach for update and Delete in Kendo grid. I have seen workaround also to remove [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] but still this does not work for me.


Solution

  • My observations :

    EditingInline_Read() -> DataSourceResult result = model.Testlist.ToDataSourceResult(request);
    

    The above code will convert List<TestDemo> as result, not DemoViewModel.Please debug this code and check the result.

    In the view you used DemoViewModel: @(Html.Kendo().Grid<WebApplication1.Models.DemoViewModel>()

    And still you have the correct column bindings!

    columns.Bound(p => p.name).Title("Name"); columns.Bound(p => p.gender).Title("Gender") .....

    So I think Name,Gender are also available in DemoViewModel.

    GridView shows each object in at list(DataSource) as row.And call Update and destroy methods for the single object only.

    Possible Solution :

    Change the Binding of GridView to TestDemo.

    Change Update and Destroy methods that accepts object of type TestDemo.

    I hop this will help you.
