autoBind Boolean (default: true)

If set to false the widget will not bind to the data source during initialization. In this case data binding will occur when the change event of the data source is fired. That will also apply for data sources for the resources used in the widget. By default the widget will bind to the data source specified in the configuration.

Setting autoBind to false is useful when multiple widgets are bound to the same data source. Disabling automatic binding ensures that the shared data source doesn't make more than one request to the remote service.

Example - disable automatic binding

<div id="scheduler"></div>
<script>
$("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
  date: new Date("2013/6/6"),
  autoBind: false,
  dataSource: [
    {
      id: 1,
      start: new Date("2013/6/6 08:00 AM"),
      end: new Date("2013/6/6 09:00 AM"),
      title: "Interview"
    }
  ]
});
</script>
