I am having great difficulty in getting the igGrid working in a VS2012 MVC4 solution using IgniteUI 2013.1.
Please would someone help by posting a link to an example solution so I may evaluate the product.
Many thanks
Hello Mark,
Ignite UI installs two Visual Studio Project Templates by default for MVC3 and MVC4 applications.
They include the Ignite UI JavaScript files as well as a reference to Infragistics.Web.Mvc.dll.
You can use them to jump start in evaluating the product.
Hope this helps,Martin PavlovInfragistics, Inc.

Thanks for your prompt response, however the basic solution compiles, but crashes on running.
I really want to see how all these controls work, but now have spent more than 24 hours trying to get a simple application to work without success no matter what I try.
Please advise
I'm afraid that I cannot completely understand your question. Do you want to use TextEditor as a search field and then use its value to get some data from the server and populate the igGrid?

That's exactly what I need to do, similar to the figure below where the results from the TextEditor search string populates the grid.

This can be achieved by using the existing filtering capabilities of igDataSource.
First use the igEditor.value API to get the search value from the editor. Then use the igGrid.dataSourceObject API to get a reference to the igDataSource.
Finally set the filtering expressions of the igDataSource (igDataSource.settings.filtering.expressions) and call igDataSource.dataBind.
Attached you can find sample demonstrating the approach.
What is the overhead on returning all database rows and then filtering them via your criteria - is it not better to reduce the initial number of rows?
As we have in excess of 3000 customers, it struck me that we may come up with a performance issue returning the entire list of customers.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
