Three ways to get started with KendoUI Grids on ASP.NET MVC
— Disclaimer: I do not work for KendoUI (Telerik) and I am not getting anything in return for this entry… I just like the library 😉
Over the past months I have been evaluating the KendoUI library and using it on my pet projects. I really like it, is evolving very fast and has good community around it.
KendoUI Grids are very flexible and can be used in many different ways. In this post I will show how you can get started with KendoUI grids on your ASP.NET MVC Projects., I will show you three different ways I have used them, which include Creating the Grid starting from a basic ASP.NET MVC List Template, Creating the grid over an empty div with a remote data source, and finally, how to create a grid using KendoUI templates.
These walk-troughs will cover most of the basics but are only intended to get you started; I encourage you to go to KendoUI.com and view all other options/configurations/methods available.
Method 1: Grid over Existing HTML
In this example, we start from the MVC List Template and convert it to a fully functional grid with pagination and sorting.

ASP.Net MVC: Using Json Standard Responses for your Ajax Calls
For the past couple of years, after we started our move towards ASP.Net MVC, we have been using more and more ajax to enrich our user interface and we love it.
At the begining we use to send our responses as simple strings (true/false) or very customized Json responses. However, for the past year or so we’ve been using Standard Json Responses and it has been working great. I’ve passed this idea to a couple of friends and everyone seems to like it so here it is.
Objective & Advantages
The objective will be to have standard Json Responses to our AJAX calls that we can easily re-use accross our application, independent of what action or what objects we are working with… And by having and standard responses, we can have a standard way to handle them.

ASP MVC3 – Editing records with jQueryUI Dialogs and AjaxForms
In this screen cast I will show you a demo of how to use  jQueryUI dialogs and MVC AjaxForms to create a rich and simple experience for users when editing records.
The technique is simple; you dynamically load a partial view into the DIV dialog  . There are a few tricks to wire up the validation, and to identify success over failure. .

After many requests, I’ve created a Razor version, all interested can read the post here.Â

ASP MVC – Delete confirmation with Ajax & jQuery UI Dialog
In this post I will show you how I implemented a delete confirmation implementation for MVC using the jQuery UI Dialog control. I have done this by adding virtually no customization to the templates generated ASP.Net MVC, and aiming the functionality to be as reusable as possible.
Our Objective
When a user clicks the “Delete” button on a list (or elsewhere), we are going to show a confirmation dialog. If the user confirms, the record will be deleted. If he/she cancels, no action will be taken. In essence, this is what we are trying to do:
