JQ Grid with Jquery in ASP.Net MVC3 Razor: Part 2

In this article I will describe how to display a Jq grid with a “search facility” in ASP.Net MVC3 in Razor View Engine.

Here is Part 1

A JQ Grid is a light-weight open source grid developed in JavaScript Jquery to fill data from the database.

To download the JQ Grid js file go to the following site:

http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=6.

Now I will create an ASP.Net application where I will display the record from an array through the JQ Grid.

Step 1:

In Visual Studio 2010 first create a simple ASP.Net MVC3 web application project named "mvc3test1".



Figure 1:

Step 2:

After that add the required JS file and folder for the JQ grid. The folder and file structure will look as shown in the following figure1 marked with red.



Figure 2:

See here in the "css" folder we have a style sheet named "jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.css" and also under the "js" folder see the required "js" file for jq grid.

Step 3:

Now go to the "Index.cshtml" under the "Views" folder.



Now the required Jquery file for jq grid is:



Step 4:

Now copy the following code there:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<link href="../css/ui-darkness/jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../css/ui.jqgrid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="../js/jquery-1.5.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../js/i18n/grid.locale-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../js/jquery.jqGrid.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../Scripts/json2-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../js/jquery.jqGrid.src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        jQuery("#list1").jqGrid({
            datatype: "local",
            colNames: ['Inv No', 'Date', 'Client', 'Amount', 'Tax', 'Total', 'Notes'],
            colModel: [
                      { name: 'id', index: 'id', width: 60, sorttype: "int" },
                      { name: 'invdate', index: 'invdate', width: 90, sorttype: "date" },
                      { name: 'name', index: 'name', width: 100 },
                      { name: 'amount', index: 'amount', width: 80, align: "right", sorttype: "float" },
                      { name: 'tax', index: 'tax', width: 80, align: "right", sorttype: "float" },
                      { name: 'total', index: 'total', width: 80, align: "right", sorttype: "float" },
                      { name: 'note', index: 'note', width: 150, sortable: false }
               ],
            multiselect: true,
            rowNum: 10,
            rowList: [5, 10, 20, 50, 100],
            pager: jQuery('#pager1'),
            sortorder: "desc",
            viewrecords: true,
            subGrid: true,
            subGridUrl: 'Default.aspx',
            subGridModel: [{ name: ['No', 'Item', 'Qty', 'Unit', 'Line Total'],
                width: [55, 200, 80, 80, 80]
            }
    ],
 
            caption: "Manipulating Array Data"

        });
        jQuery("#list1").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager1', { del: false, add: false, edit: false }, {}, {}, {}, { multipleSearch: true }); 

        var mydata = [
              { id: "1", invdate: "2007-10-01", name: "test", note: "note", amount: "200.00", tax: "10.00", total: "210.00" },
              { id: "2", invdate: "2007-10-02", name: "test2", note: "note2", amount: "300.00", tax: "20.00", total: "320.00" },
              { id: "3", invdate: "2007-09-01", name: "test3", note: "note3", amount: "400.00", tax: "30.00", total: "430.00" },
              { id: "4", invdate: "2007-10-04", name: "test", note: "note", amount: "200.00", tax: "10.00", total: "210.00" },
              { id: "5", invdate: "2007-10-05", name: "test2", note: "note2", amount: "300.00", tax: "20.00", total: "320.00" },
              { id: "6", invdate: "2007-09-06", name: "test3", note: "note3", amount: "400.00", tax: "30.00", total: "430.00" },
              { id: "7", invdate: "2007-10-04", name: "test", note: "note", amount: "200.00", tax: "10.00", total: "210.00" },
              { id: "8", invdate: "2007-10-03", name: "test2", note: "note2", amount: "300.00", tax: "20.00", total: "320.00" },
              { id: "9", invdate: "2007-09-01", name: "test3", note: "note3", amount: "400.00", tax: "30.00", total: "430.00" }
              ];
        for (var i = 0; i <= mydata.length; i++)
            jQuery("#list1").jqGrid('addRowData', i + 1, mydata[i]);
 
 
    });
 
       
</script>
 
<h2>@ViewBag.Message</h2>
<p>
JQ Grid in ASP.Net MVC3 razor
</p>
<div id="pager" ></div>
<br />
<br />

<table id="list1" ></table>
 
<div id="pager1" ></div>

Step 5:

Now the coding screen shot for the search facility in jq grid is:



jQuery("#list1").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager1', { del: false, add: false, edit: false }, {}, {}, {}, { multipleSearch: true });

Now run the application; it will look like that.



See the grid. Now click the search Button which I marked with red. After clicking that you will see:



See here the "search" Window Opens. Now we are giving the condition that "Inv No" greater than 2 will display. Now press the "Find" Button. It will look like the following figure:



See here the only records showing are the ones with the "inv no" greater than 1.

Conclusion: So in this application we have seen how to do a search operation in a jq grid using a razor view engine in ASP.Net MVC 3.
