Binding JSON Datasource with razor
posted

Is there a special way to bind a JSON Datasource to the TileManager with Razor? We are trying the below and receiving an error.

            IList<Person> list = new List<Person>();
            list.Add( new Person(){Name="MDL"});

            return HtmlHelperExtensions.Infragistics(helper)
                .TileManager()
                .ID("dashboard")
                .DataSourceType("JSON")
                .DataSource(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(list))
                .Render();
Error: Cannot determine the data source type. Please specify if it is JSON or XML data.

    Hi Tammy,

    I tested your code and I would suggest you to modify it as follows:

     

    Code Snippet
    1. @(Html.Infragistics().TileManager()
    2.  .ID("dashboard1")
    3.  .DataSource(list.AsQueryable())
    4.  .ContentTemplate("<h3>${Name}</h3>")
    5.  .DataBind()
    6.  .Render()
    7.  )

    Now it should be working correctly.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
