Working with kendo multi column Combobox in MVC

In this article, we will discuss how to working with kendo multi column Combobox in MVC with SQL server we will implementing this example

Steps For Implementing multi column Combobox

Create a new Asp.Net MVC Project
Create a new table in SQL Server
Add entity Framework
implementing the control and view

Create a new Asp.net MVC Project

Go to the visual studio ⭢ file ⭢ new ⭢ project ⭢ select Asp.net web Application and enter a name like multicolumnCombobox ⭢ ok

Create a new table in SQL server

Go to SQL server create a table name like product following given query

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Product](
	[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
	[ProductName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
	[SupplierId] [int] NOT NULL,
	[UnitPrice] [decimal](12, 2) NULL,
	[IsDiscontinued] [bit] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

insert some dummy data in the product table

insert into Product (ProductName,SupplierId,UnitPrice,IsDiscontinued)values('Uncle Bobs Organic Dried Pears',3,30.00,0)
insert into Product (ProductName,SupplierId,UnitPrice,IsDiscontinued)values('Northwoods Cranberry Sauce',3,40.00,0)
insert into Product (ProductName,SupplierId,UnitPrice,IsDiscontinued)values('Mishi Kobe Niku',4,97.00,1)
insert into Product (ProductName,SupplierId,UnitPrice,IsDiscontinued)values('Ikura',4,31.00,0)

Add entity Framework

Go to visual studio Add Ado.Net entity data Model

Implementing the control and view

In Homecontroller by using ProductDBEntities context we will return the product result as JSON format to view

 public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private ProductDBEntities objproductDBEntities;
        public HomeController()
        {
            objproductDBEntities = new ProductDBEntities();
        }
        // GET: Home
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public JsonResult GetAllProducts()
        {
            return Json(objproductDBEntities.Products.ToList(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
    }

products JSON results we will bind the kendo grid data source by using jquery, we want to require some external CDN’s for implementing kendo multi column Combobox in MVC

View Implementing

    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<br />
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
            transport: {
                read: {
                    url: "/Home/GetAllProducts",
                    dataType: "json"
                }
            }
        });

        $("#divproducts").change(function () {
            alert($("#divproducts").val());
        });

        $("#divproducts").kendoMultiColumnComboBox({
            dataTextField: "ProductName",
            dataValueField: "Id",
            height: 450,
            columns: [
                {
                    field: "ProductName",
                    title: "ProductName",
                    width: 150
                },
                {
                    field: "SupplierId",
                    title: "SupplierId",
                    width: 150
                },
                {
                    field: "UnitPrice",
                    title: "UnitPrice",
                    width: 150
                }
            ],
            filter: "contains",
            filterFields: ["ProductName", "SupplierId", "UnitPrice"],
            dataSource: dataSource
        });

    });

</script>
<h2>MultiColumn Dropdown List</h2>
<div class="col-md-3">
    <div id="divproducts" style="width: 100%">
    </div>
</div>
