I downloaded the latest version of Kendo UI (Version: 2020.1.406) for MVC and upgraded my project to refer the latest JS, CSS and Kendo.MVC (2020.1.406.545).
NoRecords method is behaving differently in the latest version. While fetching records in progress, it displays the 'No record found' message even before completion of the action method. Please see the below image:
It was not happening in the version 2018.2.516, it was showing the 'No record found' message after completion of the action method and only if there is 0 row returned.
Below is the code of Student.cshtml view:
<h4>Student</h4>
