Question

Can anyone please provide me the similar solution using kendo MVC as in the below link?
Creating 2 child kendo grids at the same level
Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the client template features. So on your grid:
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.EmployeeViewModel>()
.Name("grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(e => e.FirstName).Width(130);
columns.Bound(e => e.LastName).Width(130);
columns.Bound(e => e.Country).Width(130);
columns.Bound(e => e.City).Width(110);
columns.Bound(e => e.Title);
})
.Sortable()
.Pageable()
.Scrollable()
>> refer to the template
.ClientDetailTemplateId("template")
... etc
Then make the template with the 2 grids:
<script id="template" type="text/kendo-tmpl">
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.OrderViewModel>()
.Name("grid_#=EmployeeID#") // template expression, to be evaluated in the master context
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(o => o.OrderID).Width(110);
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipCountry).Width(150);
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipAddress).ClientTemplate("\\#= ShipAddress \\#"); // escaped template expression, to be evaluated in the child/detail context
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipName).Width(300);
})
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(10)
.Read(read => read.Action("HierarchyBinding_Orders", "Grid", new { employeeID = "#=EmployeeID#" }))
)
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.ToClientTemplate()
)
#(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.OrderViewModel>()
.Name("grid2_#=EmployeeID#") // template expression, to be evaluated in the master context
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(o => o.OrderID).Width(110);
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipCountry).Width(150);
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipAddress).ClientTemplate("\\#= ShipAddress \\#"); // escaped template expression, to be evaluated in the child/detail context
columns.Bound(o => o.ShipName).Width(300);
})
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(10)
.Read(read => read.Action("HierarchyBinding_Orders", "Grid", new { employeeID = "#=EmployeeID#" }))
)
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.ToClientTemplate()
)
</script>
The .ToClientTemplate() is important. Also need to have different grid names for each row. You can mix in other HTML for organization if desired. See here.
