Kendo DataSource requestEnd event gets fired multiple times - kendo-ui

Question

I am using Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC and i have grid defined as below
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<GridModel>()
.Name("grid")
.Columns(col =>
{
col.Bound(o => o.ID)
.ClientTemplate("<input class = 't-checkbox-selectrow' type='checkbox' value='#=ID#'/><label></label>")
.HeaderTemplate("<input class = 't-checkbox-selectallrows' type='checkbox' id='selectAll'/><label></label>")
.Sortable(false)
.Filterable(false)
.HtmlAttributes(new { #class = "t-gridcol-selectrow" })
.Width(40)
.Locked(true).Lockable(false);
col.Bound(o => o.StatusName).Width(150);
col.Bound(o => o.Deadline).Width(120);
col.Bound(o => o.Cost).Width(150);
})
.AutoBind(false)
.Pageable(x => x.PageSizes(UIConstants.PageSizes))
.Sortable(x => x.AllowUnsort(false))
.Resizable(resizing => resizing.Columns(true))
.Reorderable(reorder => reorder.Columns(true))
.Scrollable(s => s.Height("Auto"))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(UIConstants.DefaultPageSizeMax)
.Read(read => read
.Action("GetData", "DataProvider"))
.ServerOperation(false))
)
Then in the JS file i am resetting the grid's page to 1 onRequestEnd, So user always goes back to first page whenever i fetch the data from remote service
$(function(){
var ds = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
ds.bind("requestEnd", function (e){
e.sender.page(1);
})
})
As per the kendo's documentation
requestEnd
Fired when a remote service request is finished.
However the requestEnd event also gets fire on page change (and sorting). So when i change the page programmatic it fires the requestEnd event again and goes into loop. ( note requestEnd also gets fired when i change Page or Sort manually on UI)
Is this is by design or wrong documentation?

Answer 1

i did something like below. e.response will be only populated when requestEnds as part of response from server. In all other cases it will null.
dataSource.bind("requestEnd", function (e) {
if (e.status != "error" && e.response != null) {
// do soemething here
}
I would really like kendo team either fix the issue or create new event

Answer 2

This question was asked 3 years ago, but I am coming across it while looking up some other information. While I am here, I will answer it for others, as LP13 is likely not concerned about this anymore.
In the HTML Razer code, add the RequestEnd event to the DataSource. Here is an example:
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<GridModel>()
.Name("grid")
// (snip)
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Events(o => o.DataBound("onDataBound"))
.PageSize(UIConstants.DefaultPageSizeMax)
.Read(read => read
.Action("GetData", "DataProvider"))
.ServerOperation(false))
)
Now in your jquery, you would write your event handler:
function onRequestEnd(e) {
console.log('onRequestEnd: e.response Object(The raw remote service response) = ', e.response);
console.log('onRequestEnd: e.sender kendo.data.DataSource(The data source instance which fired the event) = ', e.sender);
console.log('onRequestEnd: e.type String (The type of the request) = ', e.type);
}
