Hello Alex,

I was just wondering did you have a chance to try my suggestion. If you still need any assistance on the matter, please do not hesitate to ask.

Apologies Elena,

I was out all week last week. I'll be testing this again starting in a few minutes and let you know.

Thanks

Ah, I seem to be erroring out before I can get to the rebinding.

I have this in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'null' of undefined (thrown by the ig.grid knockout-extension).

The line that throws this error is from inside the viewmodel when I make the AJAX call:

success: function (data) {
    self.shows.removeAll();
    $.each(data, function (key, val) {
        self.shows.push(val);    <--- error
    });

}

The data coming back from the call is one big object, some of the properties are null (would that cause this?).

self.shows is an observableArray

Sorry to keep replying. Interestingly, I got it to the point where that error only gets thrown the first time I make the call. Subsequent calls work just fine, and the grid updates (well, I can see the total rows is going up but no columns appear).

I have got a similar problem. I am trying to reload a grid using an AJAX call to an ASP.NET service. The service provides me with the new grid data. I tested this by adding another record using a second instance of the page. When I press the reload button I made, I can see the AJAX request and it actually returns the data including the new record I added.

So in my code I use knockout mapping to convert the JSON into an knockout ViewModel and set my ViewModel with the converted object.

    MYNAMESPACE.gridFunctions.prototype.refresh = function (data) {
        
        if (data == undefined) {
            $(".ajax-loader").css("display", "block");
            MYNAMESPACE.gridFunctions.prototype.read(undefined, MYNAMESPACE.gridFunctions.prototype.refresh)
            return;
        }
        MYNAMESPACE.mainViewModel = ko.mapping.fromJS(data);
        ko.applyBindings(MYNAMESPACE.viewModel);
        $(".ajax-loader").css("display", "none");
    };

The read funtion gets a JSON string using JQuerys AJAX method. It all seems to be working fine but when I use ko.applyBindings() my grid stays the same even when my ViewModel has in fact changed (when I check it manually using the console)

Am I forgetting something?

EDIT:

I was using MYNAMESPACE.mainViewModel to set it, but this doesn't work because I was trying to use it as a pointer which of course it isn't.

EDIT2:

I had to use JQuery.parseJSON() to avoid an error from JQuery, I don't know why exactly, but  it said there was an error in the JSON syntax.

MYNAMESPACE.viewModel.books = ko.mapping.fromJS($.parseJSON(data));

Hi Alex,

Could you provide me with small sample where this issue present so I could research it further.

Thanks in advance.
