Is it possible to create a Kendo Grid that increments the Id column by 1 each time a new record is added? For example, I have a simple model class with 3 properties: Id, Title, Salary:
public class JobViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public double Salary { get; set; }
}
The razor code for the Grid looks like this:
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.JobViewModel>()
.Name("JobListing")
.Columns(columns => {
columns.Bound(x => x.Id);
columns.Bound(x => x.Title);
columns.Bound(x => x.Salary);
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Batch(true)
.ServerOperation(false)
.Model(model => model.Id(m => m.Id))
.Create("Editing_Create", "Grid")
)
)
Instead of the user typing the Id value, I wonder if there is a way to auto increment it.
So that when a new record is added, the "Editing_Create" Action Method receives a
JobViewModel object where the properties are set like this:
job.Id = 1 // next time this will be 2, and 3 ...
job.Title = "whatever the user typed"
job.Salary = "whatever the user typed"
@Scott Selby - Thanks. The first answer in this thread solves the problem.
