Kendo UI - Grid pagination (server side)

Question

I'm trying to use Kendo-UI grid with pagination. everything seems to work expect for the Total attribute, although I set it to 100 it shows 1 - 10 of 10 items which the page size i'm setting. Anyone had better success with this? I searched Kendo docs and forums with no success.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
    foreach (System.Data.DataColumn column in Model.Columns)
    {
        columns.Bound(column.ColumnName);
    }
})
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable()
.Filterable()
.Groupable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
    .Ajax()
    .PageSize(10)
    .Total(100)
    .Model(model =>
        {
            foreach (System.Data.DataColumn column in Model.Columns)
            {
                model.Field(column.ColumnName, column.DataType);
            }                
        })
    .Read(read => read.Action("Read", "Controls"))
)

)

Thanks

As explained in the documentation when serverPaging is enabled you need to specify total in your schema and you also need to return that total each time you return response from the server exactly at this place specified by the schema.

 dataSource: {
    serverPaging: true,
    schema: {
        data: "data",
        total: "total"
    },
  //...

Same is discussed here.

Check the following example.
