ListView HtmlHelper Overview
The Telerik UI ListView HtmlHelper for ASP.NET Core is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI ListView widget.
The ListView enables you to display a custom layout of data-bound items. It does not provide a default rendering of data-bound items. Instead, it relies on templates to define the way a list of items is displayed, including alternating items and items that are in the process of editing.
Initializing the ListView
The following example demonstrates how to define the ListView by using the ListView HtmlHelper.
<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="template">
<div class="product">
<h3>#=ProductName#</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Price:</dt>
<dd>#=kendo.toString(UnitPrice, "c")#</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</script>
@(Html.Kendo().ListView(Model) // The ListView will be initially bound to the Model which is the Products table.
.Name("productListView") // The name of the ListView is mandatory. It specifies the "id" attribute of the widget.
.TagName("div") // The tag name of the ListView is mandatory. It specifies the element which wraps all ListView items.
.ClientTemplateId("template") // This template will be used for rendering the ListView items.
.DataSource(dataSource => {
dataSource.Read(read => read.Action("Products_Read", "ListView"));
}) // The DataSource configuration. It will be used on paging.
.Pageable() // Enable paging.
)
Basic Configuration
The following example demonstrates the basic configuration for the ListView HtmlHelper.
<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="template">
<div class="product-view k-widget">
<dl>
<dt>Product Name</dt>
<dd>#:ProductName#</dd>
<dt>Unit Price</dt>
<dd>#:kendo.toString(UnitPrice, "c")#</dd>
<dt>Units In Stock</dt>
<dd>#:UnitsInStock#</dd>
<dt>Discontinued</dt>
<dd>#:Discontinued#</dd>
</dl>
<div class="edit-buttons">
<a class="k-button k-edit-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-edit"></span></a>
<a class="k-button k-delete-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-delete"></span></a>
</div>
</div>
</script>
@(Html.Kendo().ListView<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.ProductViewModel>(Model)
.Name("listView")
.TagName("div")
.ClientTemplateId("template")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Model(model => model.Id("ProductID"))
.PageSize(4)
.Read(read => read.Action("Editing_Read", "ListView"))
.Update(update => update.Action("Editing_Update", "ListView"))
.Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("Editing_Destroy", "ListView"))
)
.Pageable()
.Editable()
)
