Binding

[Erin Biundo]

Hello.

I'm using VS 2017 MVC .net Core Entity Framework Core.  The data is not binding.  I suspect maybe I need to reference something else in the DataSource.

I've Design First reverse engineered my models and add controller to create the scaffolding (CRUD) pages.

Now I have a table that is looping and building a grid, and I'm replacing it with Syncfusion GRID.

This is my Controler:

        public TblContractzsController(ContractsContext context)

        {

            _context = context;

        }

        // GET: TblContractzs

        public async Task<IActionResult> Index()

        {

            return View(await _context.TblContractz.ToListAsync());

            //ViewBag.datasource = _context.TblContractz.ToList();

            //return View();

        }

This is my View:

    <ejs-grid id="Grid" Datasource="ViewBag.datasource" allowPaging="true">

        <e-grid-columns>

            <e-grid-column field="ContractName" headerText="Contract Name" textAlign="Right" width="120"></e-grid-column>

        </e-grid-columns>

    </ejs-grid>

Hi Erin,  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support  

Query: “The data is not binding.  I suspect maybe I need to reference something else in the DataSource.” 

 

From your query, we understand that you are facing issue while binding dataSource to Grid using entity framework. In your code example you have returned the dataSource instead of binding it to ViewBag. This may the  cause of the issue. Kindly assign the dataSource to Viewbag and define the dataSource to Grid. Refer the below modified code example 

<ejs-grid id="Grid" Datasource="ViewBag.datasource" allowPaging="true"> 

 

    <e-grid-columns> 

        <e-grid-column field="OrderID" headerText="Contract Name" textAlign="Right" width="120"></e-grid-column> 

 

    </e-grid-columns> 

 

</ejs-grid> 

…………………….. 

public async Task<IActionResult> Index() 

        { 

           // await _context.Orders.ToList(); 

           // return View(); 

            ViewBag.datasource = _context.Orders.Take(100).ToList(); 

            return View(); 

        } 

Refer the below screenshot for the output
