Hi,
I'm experiencing a bug with the kendo grid. In my project I have a rather complicated website where a kendo grid is loaded depending an multiple criteria which can be chosen by the user through dropdowns and multiselects. Luckily, I could break it down to a simple test website and the bug still is bugging around ;)
Description: Depending on the criteria chosen, the grid loads different data which reach from zero to thousands of data rows. In my example here, it's either zero or 100 data rows (depending on the dropdown, if there is either "Empty" or "Not empty" selected). The grid loads its data if you press the button ok (by calling the Load action on the server). The result is meant to be limited to paging of 25 rows (no user choice wanted)!
Heres the code for the cshtml site:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div>
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
.Name("test_selector")
.DataTextField("Display")
.DataValueField("Value")
.BindTo(new List<DropDownVM>() {
new DropDownVM() {
Display = "Empty",
Value = "empty"
},
new DropDownVM() {
Display = "Not empty",
Value = "notEmpty"
}
})
)
</div>
<div>
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyProject.ViewModels.Test.TestItem>()
.Name("grid_Test")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(x => x.TestId).Title("TestId").Width(75);
columns.Bound(x => x.TestName).Title("TestName").Width(75);
})
.Sortable()
.Pageable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(25)
.Read(read => read.Action("Load", "Test").Data("GetSelectorData"))
)
.AutoBind(false) //Do not load Grid data initially
)
</div>
<div>
@Html.Kendo().Button().Name("Load").Content("Load")
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#Load").on("click", function (e) {
var grid = $("#grid_Test");
grid.data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
});
function GetSelectorData() {
var selectorData = {
type: $('#test_selector').data("kendoDropDownList").value()
}
return selectorData;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>And the corresponding controller:
public class TestController : BaseController
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Load([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, string type)
{
List<TestItem> result = new List<TestItem>();
if (type == "notEmpty")
{
for (int id = 1; id <= 100; id++)
result.Add(CreateTestItem(id));
}
request.PageSize = 25;
return Json(result.ToDataSourceResult(request));
}
private TestItem CreateTestItem(int id)
{
TestItem result = new TestItem()
{
TestId = id,
TestName = "Name" + id
};
return result;
}
}Problem: The scenario described above works actually fine as long as the
grid gets at least one data row delivered as DataSourceResult (i.e., result.Count > 0 in the Load method of the controller). The request object in the
controller's Load method also shows request.PageSize to be configured to 25. Also, if I choose "Empty" from the dropdown and press the Load-button, the request in the controller will show PageSize = 25. But if I switch the selector to "Not empty" afterwards and press Load, the request will show PageSize = 0! This results in the grid not being paged at all and showing all results on a single page (which leads to serious connectivity problems in my productive project as soon as there are several thousands of data rows).
I tried a quick workaround in the Load method of the controller by setting the PageSize manually back to 25 (which is not wanted of course, but would actually work for me at the moment):
public ActionResult Load([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, string type)
{
List<TestItem> result = new List<TestItem>();
if (type == "notEmpty")
{
for (int id = 1; id <= 100; id++)
result.Add(CreateTestItem(id));
}
request.PageSize = 25;
return Json(result.ToDataSourceResult(request));
}Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. The paging will be back on again and there will be only 25 data rows loaded in the grid but there is only one single page no matter how many data rows are loaded (see attached screenshot).
Do you know about this? Unfortunately I couldn't find any help for this problem so far.
Greetings!
