Populate webgrid on search - asp.net-mvc-3

I am trying to populate my webgrid on search.
I used this solution: Bind WebGrid form AJAX.
But the problem with it is when i click on the webgrid "order by", it fails.
EDIT:
you can see in the example it puts the grid in an external file named _Buildings.cshtml, and it loads it as PartialView. So when I put on the grid to "order by", it calls the method i used to populate the grid with GET, now you can see in the example it doest have a 'GetFacilityDetails' with get so it gets 404. and if i change the 'GetFacilityDetails' to get it will only return the partial and not the whole page

How to filter page content according to dropdown box selection in cakephp 2.x

I have a select box in my view.ctp , it shows some content from the controller, but my problem is i want to load content dynamically according to the droapdown selection
i tried with making ajax request on onchange of selection in the select box. but the problem is ,the select box id is sending to the controller function, their i set the content for display .but the page is not refreshing..
I dont know which logic sholud use for this purpose..if anybody have an exerience with this..please replay me..
In order to achieve those results you should follow the next steps:
Create an action that returns the content with $this->layout = null
Create a view for this action that displays the content in the way you desire (html with no css)
In the view that you like to fetch that content through AJAX make a request that pulls that controller and view
append it where you want it on your page (with proper css on the page you make the request it will display correctly)

Retrieving data posted to a jquery dialog

My question is somewhat related to this answer - https://stackoverflow.com/a/3458299/1635958.
I am working on Asp.Net MVC 3.0.
I have Page1 where I have many controls. When I click on a Button1, I want the ability to make a list of json objects (lets say List personList ) and send that list to a Controller action. I want the view to be opened as a dialog.
So I am trying something like
var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
.load("http://localhost:XXXX/Controler1/Action1")
.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
title: "SomeTitle",
width: 500,
height: 300
});
$dialog
.data("personList", personList)
.dialog('open');
Once I do this, I want the ability to deserialize this data at the controller's side and pass it to a view. Is this doable through this approach? Is there a better approach?
Edit
Requirement is something like this ->
1. Page1 will display a grid of book details.
2. There is an Action column for each row, which is a checkbox
3. User can select the rows he is interested in, and click on a button outside the grid for a specific Action.
4. I should be able to collate data about all the books selected, and pass that data onto a jQuery dialog that gets opened.
5. The jQuery dialog should display the collated data to the user and present him with the ability to take some extra actions.

What is the best practice to have modal dialogs in MVC?
I have a view which shows a grid of items. I want to provide the ability of selecting a subset of the rows, clicking a button, and opening a modal dialog with the selected rows for editing the selected rows and doing more actions. What is the best practice to get this done in MVC? When we click the button, if we call a controller, what is the recommended way to pass data to that controller?
I did it this way ->
I created a json object from the first page. Posted it to the controller as an ajax call. The controller renders a view as a result. I capture the response and display it as a jquery UI dialog. Worked for me.

Hide the Partial view and show another partial view in mvc3

I have a hyperlink column in the grid. On clicking the link i have to hide the partialview(grid section) and have to show/load another partialview which is the detail section. Please provide solution
You could use javascript. With jQuery that will correspond to the .toggle() function or the .show()/.hide() functions. So basically you will subscribe to the click event of the link and inside this handler show and hide the respective sections. For this to work you should obviously place those partials inside placeholder divs so that you could show/hide the entire placeholder.
If in addition to showing the partial you need to fetch some fresh information from the server then you could use AJAX to request a controller action that will return the fresh data of the partial view that you will inject into the DOM at the correct placeholder location. In order to send an AJAX request in jQuery you could use the $.ajax() function or directly the .load() function.

Create a Web Grid using Javascript

Can we create a WEB GRID dynamically using JAVASCRIPT ?
I am using MVC 3 and Razor as my view.
On one of my Razor view I have a drop down box what I want is to create a web grid dynamically on selection of a drop down I get the data depending on the value selected from the drop down box.
Please help me on this.
I had to use ajax for this, where I had called a method using ajax and my method (present in the controller) returned a partial view.
My partial view had the grid I needed to show. and in the method (present in the controller) I had passed value from the dropdown box using ajax, and using this value I had queried my database and sent that model to the partial view.

How to get MVC web grid dropdown column value using javascript or from controller

We have a dropdown list column in ASP.NET MVC 3.0 WebGrid. User will select a item from that list for each row.
When i click on submit I need to capture the selected value for each row.
Can anyone please give me a sample code for doing this from controller.
Thanks in advance
You can make a column with DropDownList control using a html helper:
grid.Column("List", header: "List", format: #<text>#Html.DropDownList("selection", someItems)</text>)
Then put the whole grid in a "form" statement, which refers to "Save" action in your controller, and create that "Save" action method like this:
public ActionResult Save(string[] selection) {
[...]
}
Why don'y you give telerik.mvc grid a try. It's super smooth and handles such scenarios pretty well. Moreover the effort is pretty less in setting it up.
You can download it as a nuget package.
Examples are here http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid
