I'm currently evaluating the ASP .Net Core Components and whilst I'm liking it so far, I have to say - the documentation leaves a lot to be desired.

At the moment, I am trying to use grid and looking at documentation, I have no idea if I am meant to be looking in Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent or Kendo.Mvc.UI - and when I am there and find an item, there just isn't enough detail. In addition, the demos section appears to actually be more helpful and I'm constantly looking there.

What caused me to write this is that I have simply enabled GridFilterMode.Row on an instance and whilst I like it, I want to change the default from "Is Equal To" to "Contains"... I have been experimenting for the past few hours without any luck and I'm going round in circles on documentation:

I can see that Filterable requires GridFilterMode, but the documentation is lacking - https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-core/api/Kendo.Mvc.UI/GridFilterMode#kendomvcuigridfiltermode

I then try to find the filterable modes documentation, but, half the features/methods just don't seem to have any affect whatsoever.

Personally, I'm having great luck learning about your components from the demo section and adapting the code to suite my needs - but, if there isn't a demo, it appears to be a very hard task to learn what is and isn't possible.

It would be beneficial if the Grid exposes a built-in option for explicitly setting an arrow indicator for selected rows similar to the following:

Bug report

There is an edge case in the Pager's responsive configuration. If the width is between 480 and 600 pixels both the DropDownList and Buttons that allow the user to navigate through the pages are hidden.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo
2. Resize the right pane to be between 480px and 600px
3. Run the Dojo

Current behavior

The buttons and dropdown are missing

Expected/desired behavior

The Pager should display a DropDownList for page selection when it is wide between 480 and 600px.

Environment

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

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);
            })      
        )
        //...)
    

Current behavior

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());

Environment

Bug report

The DataSource's property groupPaging: true prevents the Grid's group from expanding if it has a defined groupHeaderColumnTemplate.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo
2. Try to expand the Grid's groups

Also reproducible in the Core wrapper where an error is thrown: kendo.all.js:8743 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'hasSubgroups' of undefined

Current behavior

groupPaging is not compatible with the groupHeaderColumnTemplate

Expected/desired behavior

groupPaging and the groupHeaderColumnTemplate should be compatible

### Bug report

When the pageSizes option is enabled, it is not displayed when the Grid is initialized inside a hidden container.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Follow the instructions in this KB article to display a Grid inside a TabStrip component.

2) Enable the "pageSizes" setting.

3) The drop-down, which allows the user to change the page size is always hidden.

A Dojo sample for reproduction: https://dojo.telerik.com/uCORUHUc

The same example works correctly with version 2023.2.718.

### Expected/desired behavior

The pager must display the specified page sizes.

### Workaround

tabstrip.one("activate", function() {
  grid.pager._lastWidth = 30;
  grid.resize(true);
});

Is it possible to add an "attributes" option to the editable.window configuration that allows the addition of HTML attributes to the window?

For example:

//HtmlHelper Grid
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<OrderViewModel>()
     .Name("grid")
      ...
     .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).Window(wnd => wnd.HtmlAttributes(new { @class= "my-custom-window" })))
)

//Kendo UI for jQuery Grid
  $("#grid").kendoGrid({
    ...
    editable: {
      mode: "popup",
      window: {
        attributes: {
          "class": "my-custom-window"
        }
      }
    }
  });

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

For example:

@model TimeSpan?

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

Bug report

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.

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.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2023.3.1010
• jQuery version: x.y

Bug report

The TagHelper Grid's TagHelper is not correctly serialized and cannot be used to export hidden columns.

Reproduction of the problem

• Set the exportable TagHelper for a hidden column to enabled.

<columns>
    <column field="Discontinued" hidden="true">
         <exportable enabled="true" />
    </column>
</columns>			  

• Open the following REPL example.
• Export the Grid and observe the exported document.

Current behavior

The Grid TagHelper does not export hidden columns if the exportable TagHelper is enabled identically to the Kendo UI for jQuery Grid column exportable option.

Expected/desired behavior

The Grid TagHelper should be able to export hidden columns if the exportable TagHelper is enabled identically to the Kendo UI for jQuery Grid column exportable option.

### Bug report

When dragging and dropping a row within the Grid, the DOM element of the drag handle receives duplicated classes and styles.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Enable the Drag & Drop functionality of the Grid.

2) Drag and drop a row within the Grid.

3) Inspect the DOM element of the drag handle - it has multiple duplicated classes and styles:

Overview

Currently, the ASP.NET Core Grid Columns's Template() method does not expose the ability to provide a delegate. In comparison to the ASP.NET MVC Grid Column's Template() method:

It would be useful to add this option to the ASP.NET Core Grid, as it will allow the configuration for multiline templates. For example:

.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Template(@<text>
        <div>#= OrderID # </div>
         <div>#= Discontinued # </div>
    </text>);
})

Current behavior

The Columns.Template() method of the Grid does expose a delegate overload.

Expected/desired behavior

The Columns.Template() method of the Grid should expose a delegate overload.

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2023.2.718
• Browser: [all]

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

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.

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 am using the Grid with two editor template bound to viewdata to populate the components.

Now this is code that I wrote in 2017 that I recent upgraded to .NET 7 ASP Core and has work all those years with no issue. So I think this may be a regression in the grid code.

I have embedded the relevant code leaving out the grid views custom javascript since it isn't relevant.

The behavior that I am seen is that the the grids model properties that do NOT use a customer editor template are not being bound when the save event fires.

public class AlertRuleGridViewModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [UIHint("ComponentEditor")]
    public string? Component { get; set; }

    [UIHint("EmailAddress")]
    public string? Email { get; set; }

    [UIHint("TypeEditor")]
    public string? Type { get; set; }

    [UIHint("Boolean")]
    public bool Enabled { get; set; }
}

<div class="container alert-rules-grid">
    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<AlertRuleGridViewModel>()
        .Name("alert-grid")
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Model(model =>
        {
            model.Id(l => l.Id);
            model.Field(field => field.Id).Editable(false);
            model.Field(field => field.Type).DefaultValue(ViewData["defaultType"] as String);
        })
        .PageSize(12)
        .Sort(a => a.Add("Id").Descending())
        .Read(read => read.Action("GetRules", "Alerts").Data("additionalData"))
        .Create(update => update.Action("UpdateRule", "Alerts"))
        .Update(update => update.Action("UpdateRule", "Alerts"))
        .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("DeleteRule", "Alerts"))
        .Events(e => e.Error("gridErrorHandler"))
        )
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(b => b.Id).Title("Id").Visible(true).Width("4%");
            columns.Bound(b => b.Component).Title("Component").EditorTemplateName("ComponentEditor").Visible(true);
            columns.Bound(b => b.Email).Title("Email").Visible(true);
            columns.Bound(b => b.Type).Title("Log Type").EditorTemplateName("TypeEditor").Visible(true);
            columns.Bound(b => b.Enabled).Title("Enabled").ClientTemplate("#=renderStatus(data)#").Visible(true);
            columns.Command(command =>
            {
                command.Edit();
                command.Destroy();
            });
        }
        )
        .ToolBar(toolBar =>
        {
            toolBar.ClientTemplateId("toolBarTemplate");
        })
        .Events(events =>
        {
            events.Cancel("onCancelEdit");
            events.Save("onSave");
        }
        )
        .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
        .Pageable() // Enable paging
        .Sortable() // Enable sorting
        .Scrollable(s => s.Height("auto"))
        .Resizable(resize => resize.Columns(true))
        )
</div>

I suspect the issue is the generated html for the input that used the editor template.
