Grouping

By default, the grouping functionality of the Telerik UI Grid for ASP.NET MVC is disabled.

For a runnable example, refer to the demo on using aggregates in the Grid.

To control grouping in the Grid, use the Groupable() method.

Razor

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CustomerViewModel>()
        .Name("grid")
        .Groupable()
    	...
    )

Only columns that are bound to a field can be groupable. To enable grouping on a column bound to an object, bind the column to a field of that object.

You can also render groups by setting group expressions in the DataSource of the Grid even without enabling Groupable.

Razor

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CustomerViewModel>()
        .Name("Grid")       
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .Group(groups => groups.Add(p => p.UnitsInStock))
