Question

I have a simple Grid in a MVC4 [ChildAction].

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)    
   .Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Bound(p => p.UserLoginID);
    columns.Bound(p => p.UserName);
    columns.Bound(p => p.UserStatus);
})
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable()
.Filterable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
    .Ajax()
    .Read(read => read.Action("SearchUserResult_Read", "Search"))
)
)

How do I pass the Parent’s Model (Search Query Criteria) in the .Ajax() call above?

Note that I do pass the Parent’s Model to the Action via this code so have it in the Controller’s ChildAction, just not in the Ajax call:

@Html.Action("SearchUserResultGrid", "Search",
       new {SearchQueryCriteriaViewModel = Model})

Answer 1

Found it:

Simply pass the model to the view:

View(model)

Then in the Razor view

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
