How can I refresh the grid after I edit the Kendo UI grid?

Question

I edit the grid using editable: \"popup\" as shown on Telerik\'s demo page. After I edit the grid, I want the grid to refresh. Does the grid have any event that is

Answer 1

I've been trying to figure out how to refresh the grid after creating a new item. Scenario is: Create an item in the client, send request to server, receive response and update client. (Alternatively, I wouldn't mind figuring out why the grid isn't using the item I'm returning it in the server-side create function)

This post mentions the requestEnd event, but it's not exposed in razor. This event seems to fire after a request is finished, that is, after the server processes the event, so new objects created on the client will already be sent to the server for processing; then the client can request the latest information without losing data. Since the grid datasource object was undefined on page load, I ended up using the .Change event to hook the requestEnd event.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid
.Name("user-grid")
...
.Pageable(pageable => pageable
    ...
    .Events( e => e.Remove("grid_remove").Change("hook_request_end"))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
    .Ajax()
    .PageSize(20)
    .Model(m =>
    {
        m.Id(vm => vm.DocumentId);
        m.Field("LastModified").Editable(false);
    })
    .Read(a => a.Action("KList", "Controller"))
    .Create(a => a.Action("KCreate", "Controller"))
    .Update(a => a.Action("KUpdate", "Controller"))
)

and then the javascript:

var requestEndHooked = false;
function hook_request_end()
{
    if (requestEndHooked == true)
    {
        return;
    }

    requestEndHooked = true;
    $("#user-grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.bind("requestEnd", dataSource_requestEnd);
}

function dataSource_requestEnd(e)
{
    try
    {
        if (e.type == "create")
        {
            $("#user-grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
        }

    }
    catch (e)
    {
    }
}

If there's a better way, I'd love to know.

To answer your question, there are events other than "create": "read", "update"
