Connecting to Web Service
In this topic, we will show how to bind a DataBound control to a WebService using the RadClientDataSourceControl.
From the Toolbox in Visual Studio, drag a RadClientDataSource instances to the design surface of your page.
Set a WebService using the Url property. In this example we are using "http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Products"
<telerik:RadClientDataSource ID="RadClientDataSource1" runat="server">
<DataSource>
<WebServiceDataSourceSettings ServiceType="OData">
<Select Url="http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Products" DataType="JSONP" />
</WebServiceDataSourceSettings>
</DataSource>
</telerik:RadClientDataSource>
- Configure the Model Schema and set the Fileds for the data source control
<telerik:RadClientDataSource ID="RadClientDataSource1" runat="server">
<DataSource>
<WebServiceDataSourceSettings ServiceType="OData">
<Select Url="http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Products" DataType="JSONP" />
</WebServiceDataSourceSettings>
</DataSource>
<Schema>
<Model>
<telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="ProductName" DataType="String" />
<telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="QuantityPerUnit" DataType="String" />
<telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="UnitPrice" DataType="Number" />
<telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="UnitsInStock" DataType="Number" />
<telerik:ClientDataSourceModelField FieldName="Discontinued" DataType="Boolean" />
</Model>
</Schema>
</telerik:RadClientDataSource>
Assign the ClientDataSource to the DataBound control.
The DataBound control will properly retrieve the data from the WebService
