Question

I’m displaying a grid with remote data, if I don’t add pagination the full set of data is displayed, of course this is not desired.

The following is the code I’m using to display data on a grid:

var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            url: "http://127.0.0.1:81/SismosService.svc/usuario/index",
            dataType: "json"
        }
    },
    schema: {
        data: "Response"
    },
    pageSize: 5
});
$("#usuariosGrid").kendoGrid({
    pageable: {
        refresh: true
    },
    columns: [
        { field: "UsuarioId", title: "ID", width: "100px" },
        { field: "Nombre", title: "Nombre", width: "100px" },
        { field: "ApellidoP", title: "Apellido Paterno", width: "100px" },
        { field: "ApellidoM", title: "Apellido Materno", width: "100px" },
        { command: [{ text: "Editar", click: editFunction }, { text: "Eliminar", click: deleteFunction }], title: " ", width: "200px" }
    ],
    dataSource: ds
});

This renders a grid with 5 items on it, but that’s it, I can’t navigate through the rest of the entries. The number of pages and items to display is marked as zero, disabling the navigation controls.

Am I missing something in my cofiguration? Thanks for any help you can provide.

When paging is done in the server (check serverpaging), you need to return the total number of records. See total for information.
