Well, I studied this after a few days and am not very sure what I'm doing wrong. If anyone has any examples of using jqGrid with open source C # / ASP.NET tools, please tell me where to find them. Any advice on finding decent documentation or tools that I could use to debug this would be greatly appreciated (I'm pretty new to js / jQuery). Basically, I just need an in-place editing feature, so if I missed another obvious solution for this, it would be useful to know ... I would like to avoid using AJAX.NET, if at all possible.
It seems to me that I'm just forgetting about something really obvious here.
In the following example, I get jqGrid to display, but it does not show any data.
Here is the relevant JavaScript:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#role_assignment_table").jqGrid({
url:'http://localhost:4034/WebSite2/PageItemHandler.asmx/GetPageItemRolesJson?id=3',
mtype: 'GET',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datatype: "jsonstring",
colModel:[
{name:'Id', label:'ID', jsonmap:'Id'},
{name:'Title', jsonmap:'Title'},
{name:'AssignedTo', label:'Assigned To', jsonmap:'AssignedTo'},
{name:'Assigned', jsonmap:'Assigned'},
{name:'Due', jsonmap:'Due'},
{name:'Completed', jsonmap:'Completed'}
],
jsonReader: {
page: "Page",
total: "Total",
records: "Records",
root: "Rows",
repeatitems: false,
id: "Id"
},
rowNum:10,
rowList:[10,20,30],
imgpath: 'js/themes/basic/images',
viewrecords: false,
caption: "Role Assignments"
});
});
HTML:
<table id="role_assignment_table" class="scroll" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" />
Generated JSON: I'm not sure if it does this for jqGrid, or if jqGrid does not like my JSON or my WebMethod, but I can call it myself when I go to the correct URL and get the JSON result string.
{"Page":"1","Total":1.0,"Records":"4",
"Rows":[
{"Id":1,"Item":null,"Title":"Story Manager","AssignedTo":null,"Assigned":"\/Date(1245186733940-0500)\/","Due":"\/Date(1248383533940-0500)\/","Completed":"\/Date(1247087533940-0500)\/"},

{"Id":3,"Item":null,"Title":"Narrative","AssignedTo":null,"Assigned":"\/Date(1245186733940-0500)\/","Due":"\/Date(1248383533940-0500)\/","Completed":"\/Date(1247087533940-0500)\/"},
{"Id":4,"Item":null,"Title":"Graphic","AssignedTo":null,"Assigned":"\/Date(1245186733940-0500)\/","Due":"\/Date(1248383533940-0500)\/","Completed":"\/Date(1247087533940-0500)\/"}
]
}
