Pagination on Kendo UI Grid is not working

Question

I'm displaying a grid with remote data, if I don't add pagination the full set of data is displayed, of course this is not desired.

The following is the code I'm using to display data on a grid:

var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            url: "http://127.0.0.1:81/SismosService.svc/usuario/index",
            dataType: "json"
        }
    },
    schema: {
        data: "Response"
    },
    pageSize: 5
});
$("#usuariosGrid").kendoGrid({
    pageable: {
        refresh: true
    },
    columns: [
        { field: "UsuarioId", title: "ID", width: "100px" },
        { field: "Nombre", title: "Nombre", width: "100px" },
        { field: "ApellidoP", title: "Apellido Paterno", width: "100px" },
        { field: "ApellidoM", title: "Apellido Materno", width: "100px" },
        { command: [{ text: "Editar", click: editFunction }, { text: "Eliminar", click: deleteFunction }], title: " ", width: "200px" }
    ],
    dataSource: ds
});

This renders a grid with 5 items on it, but that's it, I can't navigate through the rest of the entries. The number of pages and items to display is marked as zero, disabling the navigation controls.

Am I missing something in my cofiguration? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Answer 1

When paging is done in the server (check serverpaging), you need to return the total number of records. See total for information.

Answer 2

I had the same issue because I misunderstood serverPaging. If you set serverPaging to true, you also have to modify what the server returns.

Previously, I had the server returning all of the data. To fix this, I used ToDataSourceResult to modify what my server returns.
