Populating a grid locally

[Andrea Bioli]

I didn't have the time to excercise with the trial, but I would like to know if with this grid it's possible to populate a local grid with data coming from the server.

To make an example, let's suppose that I have a table on the server with the possible hobbies. On the client, the user can insert a record about himself (name, birthday, etc.) *and* add the list of his hobbies, choosing from the server.

Technically speaking, I think we can call it 'model binding to a collection attribute'. All happens in the client, and when the user submit the form, in the controller I have all the data, including the list. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Andrea

Hi Andrea,


Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

We glad to inform you that your requirement can be achieved using the below code snippet.


[Script]
<script type="text/javascript">

    $(function()
    {
            $('#DialogEditSave').click(function ()
            {
                    var select = $('#Hobby');
                var arr = [];    
                $('#Hobby option:selected').each(function ()
                {
                        arr.push($(this).val());
                });
                $('#Hobbies').val(arr);
            }).change();
    })

</script>


[EditorTemplate.cshtml]

    @Html.ListBox("Hobby", ViewData["hobbieslist"] as MultiSelectList)

    @Html.Hidden("Hobbies")
                  

[EditingController.cs]

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult OrderSave(EditDetails ord, string[] Hobbies)
{       
         string hoby=string.Join("", Hobbies);
         ViewData["hobbieslist"] = GetHobbies(hoby.Split(','));
         ord.Hobby = hoby;    
         DetailsRepository.Update(ord);
         var data = DetailsRepository.GetAllRecords();
         return data.GridJSONActions<EditDetails>();
}
