I have a model with configured Display and Required DataAnnotation.

However the TagHelper Grid doesn't serialize them because it is lacking a configuration property to bind to a Model like the HtmlHelper does:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CustomValidationProductViewModel>() 
        .Name("grid")      
        ...
 )

Can this capability be implemented for the TagHelper as well?

Bug report

Tooltip produces inconsistent behavior upon hovering when the content is configured through the content client-side configuration.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Navigate to the Loading Content with AJAX or the Content Template demos.
2. Hover over the first element.
3. Hover over the second element and notice that the content is not shown.

Current behavior

For every second hover, the Tooltip does not display the element's content.

Expected/desired behavior

For every second hover, the Tooltip should display the element's content.

Bug report

Group Paging is not working as expected when the Kendo UI Grid is populated from data deserialized from a file and multiple groups are defined.

Reproduction of the problem

Using the UI for ASP.NET Core Grid, populate it with a file, set GroupPaging to true, add more than one group, and set the default serialization:

 
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews()
            .AddJsonOptions(options =>
                options.JsonSerializerOptions.PropertyNamingPolicy = null);
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyViewModel>()
        .Name("grid")
        .Groupable()
        .Scrollable(s=>s.Virtual(true))
        .DataSource(dataSource=>dataSource
            .Ajax() 
            .GroupPaging(true)
            .PageSize(50)
            .Read("ReadFromFile", "HomeController")
            .Group(x=>
            {
               x.Add(y=>y.Group1);
               x.Add(y=>y.Group2);
            })      
        )
        //...)

With multiple groups, the follow error message will appear:

Expected/desired behavior

Server GroupPaging should work as expected with multiple groups and the default serialization that is delivered with ASP.NET Core. An example would be this live demo.

Workaround

Use the Newtonsoft library to set the serialization options for the application:

builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews()
  .AddNewtonsoftJson(options => options.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = new Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.DefaultContractResolver());

• Kendo UI version: 2023.2.606

In the latest version (2023.2.718), the Column Menu in the Grid faild to open if you set the Groupable option to false.

To reproduce the issue simply change the line below in the Grid Overview Demo

.Groupable(g=>g.ShowFooter(false))

to the following:

.Groupable(false)

Is it possible to add an option to enable/disable the valuePrimitive of the DropDownList editor of a Foreign Key column in the Grid? This way, the ForeignKey column can be configured to allow null values.

Bug report

When a Grid's row is reordered and then the changes are saved - a Destroy request is sent to the server for the dataItem of the reordered row. This happens even though no changes are applied to dataItem of the reordered row.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Run this Telerik REPL or this Dojo
2. Reorder a row
3. Open the browser's Network Tab
4. Click the Save Changes button

Expected/desired behavior

The Grid should request the reordered item to be perished from the backend.

Bug report

Grouping a column with Group Paging and Client Operations enabled results in slow performance in comparison to prior versions.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the following dojo.
2. Group the Company Name column.
3. Notice that the grouping is considerably slower.
4. Once grouped, open the browser console to observe the elapsed time.

Current behavior

The grouping functionality for the Grid with client operations and group paging would produce approximately 10 times slower results in terms of execution. In comparison to previous versions.

2023.2.718

Expected/desired behavior

The grouping functionality for the Grid with client operations and group paging should produce identical time execution to prior versions, as illustrated in the following dojo.

2022.2.510

When a Grid that has a DateTime column is exported to Excel that column doesn't get its width automatically like columns bound to other types of data.

An explicit Width needs to be set for the DateTime column as evident in this Telerik REPL.

Could you please fix the columns.autoWidth of the kendo.ooxml.Workbook to work for all types of data?

I have noticed that neither the HtmlHelper nor the TagHelper wrappers of the Grid's Pageable.Pagesize configuration support the all option to be configured as a page size.

This is unlike the Kendo UI for jQuery pageSize option which supports it as per the example in the API:

 pageable: {
    pageSizes: [2, 3, 4, "all"],
    numeric: false
  }

Bug report

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open the following dojo.
2. Open the column menu.
3. Try to remove all columns through the checkboxes.

Current behavior

The last checkbox selection is not disabled and allows all the columns to be removed if the menu options for the command column are explicitly set to false:

Expected/desired behavior

The last checkbox selection should be disabled without allowing all the columns to be removed if the menu options for the command column are explicitly set to false:

The following dojo depicts the aforementioned behavior.

Bug report

Grid PageSizes TagHelper attribute does not expose an IEnumerable overload

Current behavior

The Grid PageSizes TagHelper attribute exposes only an int[] overload which prevents adding options such as "All".

In comparison to its HtmlHelper counterpart:

    .Pageable(paging => paging.PageSizes(new object [] { 5, 10, 20, "All" }))

Expected/desired behavior

It would be a good idea to consider altering the page sizes to accept an IEnumerable overload.

Grid Filterable Button Title Message is not correctly serialized.

Reproduction of the problem

• Set the Filterable.Messages.ButtonTitle() API Configuration as follows:

        @(Html.Kendo().Grid<OrderViewModel>()
              .Name("grid")
              .Columns(columns =>
              {
                  columns.Bound(p => p.OrderID).Filterable(false);
                  columns.Bound(p => p.Freight);  
              })
              .Filterable(f => f.Messages(m => m.ButtonTitle("Filter")))
        )
  

• Hover the Filter Button Icon and notice that the buttonTitle message is applied instead.

Current behavior

The Filter ButtonTitle message shows its default message.

Expected/desired behavior

The Filter ButtonTitle should show the custom-provided message.

Is it possible to implement binding of TimeSpan property to TimeDurationPicker editor?

For example:

@model TimeSpan?

@(Html.Kendo().TimeDurationPickerFor(m => m))

Bug report

Grid throws an error when the Filterable Column Messages TagHelper is set.

Reproduction of the problem

• Open the following Telerik REPL example.
• Set the child <messages /> in a column's <filterable></filterable> TagHelper.
• Notice the observed error.

Current behavior

Setting the Messages TagHelper produces the following compilation error:

The tag is not allowed by parent tag helper. Only child tags with name(s) 'cell, operators, datasource' are allowed.

Expected/desired behavior

Setting the Messages TagHelper should not produce the following compilation error.

Bug report

When the GroupPaging configuration is present the exported Grid doesn't have any data.

Reproduction of the problem

2. Export the Grid

The whole content of the Grid must be exported.

Bug report

Expose additional API configurations for the Grid's ToolBar

Reproduction of the problem

As of recent releases, the Kendo UI Grid Toolbar has been substituted with the Kendo UI Toolbar. This change allows users to add the majority ToolBar.items API options apart from the built-in tools.

As noted within the Kendo UI for jQuery API documentation for the Grid's Toolbar:

"Apart from the built-in tools, the Grid fully exposes the ToolBar.items API. This way you can specify any custom tools in the widget using the components available in the ToolBar itself."

Current behavior

The inherited ToolBar.items API options are not available for the server-side Telerik UI Grid for ASP.NET Core and MVC wrappers as well.

Expected/desired behavior

It would be beneficial to the customers if the inherited ToolBar.items API options are available for the server-side Telerik UI Grid for ASP.NET Core and MVC wrappers as well.
