Question

Using jqGrid in mvc razor

I want a class that can go for jqGrid json format and bind the grid.

I think that you don’t need to define any class to produce JSON data needed for jqGrid. You can return anonymous object:

public JsonResult DynamicGridData (string sidx, string sord, int page, int rows)
{
    var query = ...;
    var totalRecords = query.Count();

    return Json(new {
        total = (totalRecords + rows - 1) / rows,
        page,
        records = totalRecords,
        rows = (from item in query
                select new {
                    id = item.Id.ToString(),
                    cell = new[] {
                        item.FirstName,
                        item.LastName,
                        item.Votes.ToString(),
                        item.Title
                    }
                }).ToList()
    },
    JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
