Answer 1

You should provide more code to detect what's wrong with your code, but read this may help you:

Such error occurs when the transport definitions are inconsistent. In other words, if you would like to use custom transport method, all transport types should be defined as functions.

Having a standard read transport and custom update is not supported. Please configure all transports as functions and let me know if the error still occurs.

Answer 2

I had the same error and for me the problem was that the dataType option was not set for all transport methods. I marked that line with a comment below:

var linksDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            dataType: "json",
            url: 'read-url',
            type: "get"
        },
        destroy: {
            dataType: "json", /* <============ THIS LINE WAS MISSING */
            url: 'delete-url',
            type: "delete"
        },
        update: {
            dataType: "json",
            url: 'update-url',
            type: "post"
        },
        create: {
            dataType: "json",
            url: 'create-url',
            type: "post",
            complete: function () {
                $("#searchResult").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
            }
        },
