Kendo UI Scheduler and ASP.NET MVC - json

Question

Trying to make work Kendo UI with ASP.NET MVC.
I can use ready-to-work toolkit, but it will tie front-end to back-end; that's inappropriate, so I'm doing all manually.
I've bound datasource
dataSource: {
batch: true,
transport: {
read: {
url: "http://192.168.0.34/FRINGE/api/tasks",
dataType: "json"
},
modified schema
schema: {
model: {
id: "TaskID",
fields: {
taskId: { from: "TaskID", type: "number" },
title: { from: "Title", defaultValue: "No title", validation: { required: true } },
start: { type: "date", from: "Start" },
end: { type: "date", from: "End" },
description: { from: "Description" },
ownerId: { from: "OwnerID", defaultValue: 1 },
isAllDay: { type: "boolean", from: "IsAllDay" }
}
},
parse: function (responce) { /*debugger;*/ }
},
and wrote a simple controller
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Tasks(int? id)
{
//«data» type is List<Tasks>
if (id.HasValue)
return Json(data.SingleOrDefault(x => x.TaskID == id.Value), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
else
return Json(data, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Which produces data like
[{"TaskID":1,"Title":"Action","Start":"\/Date(1425009600000)\/","End":"\/Date(1425013200000)\/","Description":"Action time","OwnerId":1,"IsAllDay":false},{"TaskID":2,"Title":"Dinner","Start":"\/Date(1425034800000)\/","End":"\/Date(1425038400000)\/","Description":"Dinner time","OwnerId":1,"IsAllDay":false}]
But nothing works. Checked schema and data on Telerik Kendo UI Dojo, and all good there. I think, problem in controller declaration due to some params lack.
What I've missed?

Answer 1

You're defining a parse method in your schema which does nothing. You have to remove it or return data from it:
parse: function(response) {
return response;
}
