I have a Kendo grid set up like so:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ParticipatingDentalEE>()
.Name("DentalEE")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.State).Title("State").Width(150).EditorTemplateName("State");
columns.Bound(p => p.Count).Title("Count").Width(150);
columns.Command(c => { c.Edit(); c.Destroy(); });
})
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Model(m => {
m.Id(p => p.State);
m.Field(p => p.State).Editable(true);
m.Field(p => p.Count).Editable(true).DefaultValue("");
})
.Create(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Create", "Dental"))
.Read(read => read.Action("EditingInline_Read", "Dental"))
.Update(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Update", "Dental"))
.Destroy(update => update.Action("EditingInline_Destroy", "Dental"))
)
//.Scrollable()
//.Sortable()
.Editable(e => e.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))
)
The "State" column consists of a dropdown template that looks like this:
@(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
.Name("States") // Name of the widget should be the same as the name of the property
.DataValueField("CODE") // The value of the dropdown is taken from the EmployeeID property
.DataTextField("NAME") // The text of the items is taken from the EmployeeName property
.BindTo((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewData["States"]) // A list of all employees which is populated in the controller
)
My dropdown shows up properly when I edit or create an item, but when I save the item the dropdown value does not stay in the grid. Is there something else I need to set up in order to do this?
