Grouping

By default, the grouping functionality of the Telerik UI Grid for ASP.NET MVC is disabled.

For a runnable example, refer to the demo on using aggregates in the Grid.

To control grouping in the Grid, use the Groupable() method.

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CustomerViewModel>() .Name("grid") .Groupable() ... )

Only columns that are bound to a field can be groupable. To enable grouping on a column bound to an object, bind the column to a field of that object.

You can also render groups by setting group expressions in the DataSource of the Grid even without enabling Groupable.

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.CustomerViewModel>() .Name("Grid") .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource .Ajax() .Group(groups => groups.Add(p => p.UnitsInStock))
