As suggested here - http://kendo.uservoice.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2522564-server-rendering-for-templates I plan on rendering javascript on the server for a single unified binding codebase. Except, I plan on implementing my own rendering engine and have no need for you to do that for me. However, kendo needs to bind everything and enumerate the DOM such as my question here - http://www.kendoui.com/forums/ui/dropdownlist/dropdownlist-autobinding-dom.aspx. For Kendo to be used on the server side it has to (optionally) render things like dropdown lists, grids, etc completely and control visibility based on CSS rather than partially rendering the DOM (understandably for DOM performance). ie. disable virtualization option for all controls. Make sure that Kendo works with server-side rendering for SEO purposes otherwise it's useless for my intended use. This feature is necessary for server-side rendering with - http://kendo.uservoice.com/forums/127393-kendo-ui-feedback/suggestions/2678704-single-page-application-spa- in combination with https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/.
Add support for Web Sockets to enable push notifications to grid, listview, and other data bound widgets.
If possible, please consider making the Kendo DataSource compatible with the data returned from using an ASP.NET MVC 4 Web API project possibly by adding a 'webapi' dataType.
Like many other Kendo components, the treeview is not mature enough to be considered to display dynamic hierarchical data in a LOB application (features limit its use to a static web site). I can only recommend to urgently add databinding to a datasource. Then you will have to consider loading the dataSource on demand. See http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/treeview/ajaxloading
Will you be doing something like KnockoutJS?
Apologies if this is not the right place to post this, but couldn't find a bug section for Kendo UI. The problem: [DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest Custom binding doesn't seem seem to add the WHERE into the generated SQL, when using DataSourceRequest.Filters ( i.e. myCollection.Where(request.Filters)). However, paging, and sorting working as expected. I would appreciate some feedback on this issue. Thank you very much, Panos.
I was using DataSource.Read with additional parameters to get data from server to load grid. It was working fine with Q1. But after upgrading libraries to Q3 it is not working. It passes "null" parameter value to controller.
CRUD operation with data source without using grid
Currently the default model binding of Kendo assumes that enums will be serialized as numbers. While this is the case with the default MVC JSON serializer, there are a number of problems with it (including this poor handling of enums) that make people replace the default JSON MVC serializaer with other popular ones - such as the https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json. If would be really nice if Kenod datasources could be able to map enum values in both integer and string value name format and if they were binding back the same format returned in the request.
Instead of using JSON to create a pie chart in Dataviz, it would be so much easier to use an SQLDataSource, So that the pie chart can be dynamically updated.
Add a Kendo UI Mobile Listview with real time cross domain data binding and this could be a simple modification of your current listview demo, where instead of using the hard coded data, use the real time data which is hosted on a website (i.e. google or twitter) and bind that data (json) to the listview...
When working with related data and odata you can you something like http://local/get/Contact//?$expand=ContactType Where Contact is the primary record and ContactType is n-1 to Contact also need to support 1-n So the schema needs to be able to handle complex relations right now it is flatted out so I cant specifiy ContactType as a related entity with its own fields in the current schema implementation. Unless the hierarchical datasource can handle this and bind to more than just the treeview widget, but I can't tell from the docs on the hierarchical datasource. But really this is more for using this in the model definition such as kendo.data.Model.define({ Thanks,
