The NumericTextBox renders two input elements. In a Grid inline editing scenario: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/editing-inline  one of inputs of the NumericTextBox editor does not render a title and there is no label for the inputs. This causes an error for missing form element label in Html static analysis (Wave).

One way for this to be avoided could be using aria-labelledby attribute instead of title. The same aria-labelledby value will be assigned to both inputs pointing to a span or div that contains the input value. This way both inputs will have label and won't trigger the missing label error.

I would like to be able to create .bindBoolColumn. I do not want extend the column itself.  I already have extensions for that.

Something like this:

GridBoundColumnBuilder<TModel> BoundBoolean<TValue>(Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression)

public  GridBoundColumnBuilder<TModel> BoundBool<TValue>(Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression)

{

     column = *place create column code here*;
     column.Width(90);
     column.clientTemplate("customtemplate");

}

Currently the ForeignKey column expects data to be loaded in it initially. This could be either local data or remote data.

For scenarios that involve using large data, it would be helpful if we can have more flexibility with the way data is loaded in the column's editor (e.g., DropDownList). For example, we want to use cascading ForeignKey editors. Once a selection is made in the first dropdown, the second cascades and is loaded with the respective data. This is not viable at the moment, because the data must be supplied to the ForeignKey column initially. If an empty collection is passed initially:

columns.ForeignKey(c => c.Field1, new List<SelectListItem>(), "Value", "Text").Width(100);

and the dropdown is then loaded with data after the Grid's Edit popup opens, the ForeignKey column will display the DataFieldValue as text, because no initial data has been provided.

An option to load data on demand would be a welcome performance enhancement.

In the Kendo UI for jQuery Grid, fields that are not editable are displayed as text (no input elements) in the Grid's popup editor. The MVC Grid displays all fields that are present in the view model it is bound to in its popup editor.

Implement an option to configure the editable fields, so that the behavior of the MVC Grid matches that of its Kendo UI counterpart.

Implement an option to control the columns width in scenarios that involve resizing the browser window.

Currently, if you specify the width of all the columns, on resizing the browser window the columns automatically resize proportionally. A column property MaxWidth would be nice to have, since it would prevent columns from resizing beyond a specified width value.

I use getOptions() and setOptions() to persist the state of the ajax bound grid that I have.

My toolbar is not a server one, it is this:

.ToolBar(toolbar =>toolbar.Create().HtmlAttributes(new { @class ="k-primary"}))

When I call the setOptions() method, it removes the Add button from the grid header.

Aligning numeric values in grids is common place and best practise.  Kendo Grid does not provide any neat functionality for this, especially in MVC where the model is strongly typed. Where a MVC grid is bound to a model, the Razor Wrapper would work better if it right aligned columns if for example type int (or other numeric types which are better to be right aligned). Where this needs not to be the case a data annotation would suit.

eg.

public class MyModel
{
   [AlignRight(false)]
   public int ProductID {get; set;}

   public int Age {get; set; } // aligned right by default in Kendo Grid because of int type
}

In the above case ProductID would be left aligned, and Age would be right (which could be the default for all integer types)

With this functionality the razor implementation could also provide an align property to override align functionality.  An AutoAlign property could provide this functionalityto auto detect from model  or not (and also allow this functionality as being off to provide backwards compatibility)

     @(Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>()
        .Name("grid")
        .AutoAlign(false)
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(c => c.ProductID).AlignRight(false)
            columns.Bound(c => c.Age).AlignRight(True)
        })

add a grid to a view

open the view with data bound to the grid.

First line of data is not selected.

Now i have to program the ondatabound property for a function which belongs to the grid component. Make it configurable for grids which do not need this feature or vice versa.

Support for NullDisplayText property of the DisplayFormat metadata attribute.
