I am building an MVC, Entities application with KendoGrids.
I have build this kendoGrid
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ModelApp.Models.Tickets>()
.Name("ticketgrid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.TicketID).Title("ID");
columns.ForeignKey(p => p.CustomerID, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["customers"], "CustomerID", "CustomerName").Title("Customer");
columns.ForeignKey(p => p.AreaOfBusinessID, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["areaofbusinesses"], "AreaOfBusinessID", "AreaOfBusiness1").Title("AreaOfBusiness");
columns.Bound(p => p.OccurredOn).Title("Occured").Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd}");
columns.ForeignKey(p => p.SeverityID, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["severities"], "SeverityID", "Severity1").Title("Severity");
columns.ForeignKey(p => p.AssigneeID, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["assignees"], "AssigneeID", "AssigneeName").Title("Assignee");
columns.ForeignKey(p => p.TicketStatusID, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["ticketstatuses"], "TicketStatusID", "TicketStatus1").Title("Status");
columns.Bound(p => p.UserID).Title("User");
columns.Bound(p => p.DateRegistered).Title("Registered").Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd}");
})
.DataSource(dataSource =>
dataSource
.Ajax()
.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.TicketID))
.Read(read => read.Action("Index","Ticket"))
.Create(create => create.Action("Create", "Ticket"))
.Update(update => update.Action("Edit", "Ticket"))
//.Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("Delete", "Ticket"))
)
.Pageable()
.Editable(editing => editing.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
.ToolBar(toolbar =>
{
toolbar.Create();
toolbar.Save();
})
.Navigatable()
.Selectable()
)
and I am facing 2 problems
1)The TicketID column is an identity column. When I select the Create button it fetches a zero. How can I make the Gid understand that it should not mess with this column and that the database will handle it?
Of course, no insert is being made anyway which takes me to the second question
2)The Edit does not post to database
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request, IEnumerable<ModelApp.Models.Tickets> models)
{
if (models != null)
{
try
{
foreach (var updatedEntity in models)
{
var itemToUpdate = db.Tickets.Where(p => p.TicketID == updatedEntity.TicketID).FirstOrDefault();
if (itemToUpdate != null)
{
itemToUpdate.CustomerID = updatedEntity.CustomerID;
itemToUpdate.AreaOfBusinessID = updatedEntity.AreaOfBusinessID;
itemToUpdate.AssigneeID = updatedEntity.AssigneeID;
itemToUpdate.OccurredOn = updatedEntity.OccurredOn;
itemToUpdate.SeverityID = updatedEntity.SeverityID;
itemToUpdate.DateRegistered = updatedEntity.DateRegistered;
itemToUpdate.UserID = updatedEntity.UserID;
db.SaveChanges();
ModelState.Clear();
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
db.add_exception_log(e.Message, "UPDATE RATES");
}
}
return Json(ModelState.ToDataSourceResult());
}
because models is null. Any clues why?
Thanx in advance
