Kendo ui datasource refresh? - kendo-ui

I have used kendo grids and charts fine and refreshed them with the following example code:
$("#Product").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
However, I have used the datasource just to provide some basic data in a different view, like in this example where it does not use the grid http://demos.kendoui.com/web/datasource/index.html
Is there a way to refresh this datasource in the same kind of way as the above code does for the grids and charts?
Thanks, Matt

It seems to be that only the data is read with dataSource, you need to refresh the grid also like this:
$("#Product").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
$("#Product").data("kendoGrid").refresh();

How to bind Dynamic CheckboxList template in KendoUI

I wanted to bind a checkboxlist using KendoUI when a modal pop is opened.
On modal popup load I wanted to get data from a webapi which will have json response and bind it to checkbox kendo Ui template.
I referred kendoUI forums all samples are using static data. Can someone please guide me to the right direction where I can consume dynamic data.
Thank you!
There's a lot of ways to approach this.
I think the easiest way would be to use a TreeView with checkboxes configured that only returns a single level of nodes, then just show it in a Window or Dialog as you would show any other view. This way you get decent, default item formatting of the TreeView with having to use a template, but you don't get paging if your datasource is large.
You can also use a ListView with a template that formats the data with a checkbox. This requires a template but you get paging capability. Once again, you just display the ListView in a Window or Dialog as normal.
Here's a simple demo of a ListView implementation: http://dojo.telerik.com/#Stephen/iwOhIV
It is a combination of Kendo demos: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/dialog/treeview-integration with the TreeView replaced with the ListView from this demo(http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/listview/remote-data-binding) and then the styling tweak with a template that uses checkboxes.
The rest of it is up to you(persisting/loading checked state, etc).

kendo ui grid with two tables - header and data

I was trying to use the Kendo Grid UI control.
I am using the binding from Javascript with few template columns.
When the HTML is generated it gets two tables, one for header and one for body. This becomes hard for accessibility, can someone please guide me how do I set to generate only one table with header and data in it.
This issue is caused by setting grid to be scrollable. Scrollable property in Kendo UI for jQuery is true by default so you need to explicitly set it false.
If you are using Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC then you have to remove GridBuilder's .Scrollable() method call.

kendo - How to use add method on offline datasource in

Is there an example using kendo offline other than a data-bound grid. Specifically, I would like to call the add method to add data to the dataset.
For example, where $scope.dsPatients is a kendo datasource, I would like to
$scope.dsPatients.add($scope.patient);
I currently get a message that the add method is invalid.
I was able to get this to work in dojo:
http://dojo.telerik.com/#jcbowyer/OviXI

This should be done automatically if you are using a Shared dataSource like shown here.

Telerik MVC Grid sever binding with ajax editing

I have an application that is making extensive use of telerik controls and am looking for an example/demo of Telerik MVC grid that uses server binding to display the initial grid and then allow inline editing using ajax. I have a selection that is returning a lot of data and erroring out at the maxJsonLength. The code to configure the grid would be helpful and I should be able to fiigure out the rest. I think I saw an example somewhere of an ajax bound grid that used server binding for the initial load but I can't find it.
Having a server-side bound grid with ajax editing is possible. However you first need to solve the maxJsonLength problem. The grid needs to serialize the first page of data (which is initially displayed server-side) as JSON so it can be then edited on the client-side. It seems that you are serializing too much data which hits the maxJsonLength limit. I can think of two ways to deal with this:
Use a ViewModel and serialize only the properties which are bound to the grid. This will reduce the total JSON size.
Increase the maxJsonLength. This however is not easy as setting it from web.config does not work in ASP.NET MVC. You need to create a custom JsonResult object with its own JsonSerializer. This code library project shows how.
You have mentioned Telerik in your title but not in main question, so I assume that you are okay with other grid controls.
In that case you can try Jq grid, it's very flexible and easy to use. I have been using it for some time now and find it very useful.
For your particular case see below link
