Visual Basic Syntax

This article demonstrates the correct Visual Basic (VB) syntax when you use lamba expressions and anonymous types inside the Kendo UI MVC wrapper declarations.

Editor

@Code

    Html.Kendo().Editor() _
    .Name("Editor") _
    .HtmlAttributes(New With {.style = "width: 740px;height:440px"}) _
    .Value(Sub()@<text><p>Hellow World!</p></text> End Sub) _
    .Tools(Sub(t)
                   t.Clear()
                   t.FontName(Sub(items)
                                      items.Add("Garamond", "garamond")
                                      items.Add("Verdana", "verdana")
                              End Sub)
                   t.CustomButton(Sub(cb)
                                          cb.Name("custom")
                                          cb.ToolTip("horizontal rule")
                                          cb.Exec(Function()
                                                          Return "function(e) { alert('exec'); }"
                                                  End Function)
                                  End Sub)
                   t.CustomTemplate(Sub(ct)
                                            ct.Template("<span>custom template</span>")
                                    End Sub)
           End Sub) _
    .Render()

End Code

TabStrip

@Code

    Dim tab As Kendo.Mvc.UI.Fluent.TabStripBuilder = Html.Kendo().TabStrip().Name("TabStrip1")

    tab.Items(Function(f) f.Add().Text("tab 1").Content(Sub()
                            @<text>HTML content</text>
                                                        End Sub))
    tab.Items(Function(f) f.Add().Text("tab 2").Selected(True).Content("<div>HTML content</div>"))
    tab.Render()

End Code

@Code
    Html.Kendo().TabStrip() _
        .Name("TabStrip2") _
        .Items(Function(tabstrip) tabstrip.Add().Text("tab text") _
            .Selected(True) _
            .Content(Sub()@<text>html content</text>
                    End Sub)) _
        .Render()
End Code

@(Html.Kendo().TabStrip() _
    .Name("TabStrip3") _
    .Items(Function(tabstrip) tabstrip.Add().Text("tab text") _
    .Selected(True) _
    .Content("string content")))

Grid

View

@Code
    Html.Kendo().Grid(Of TelerikMvcAppVB.Person)() _
.Name("Grid") _
.Columns(Sub(c)
        c.Bound(Function(p) p.PersonID)
        c.Bound(Function(p) p.PersonName)
        c.Bound(Function(p) p.PersonBirthDate)
        c.Template(Sub()
                    @<text>server template</text>
                            End Sub).Title("Template column").ClientTemplate("client template")
             End Sub) _
                .Pageable() _
                .Sortable() _
                .Filterable() _
                    .DataSource(Function(d)
                                    d.Ajax() _
                                    .Read(Function(read) read.Action("Person_Read", "GridList")) _
                                    .Model(Sub(m)
                                               m.Id(Function(i) i.PersonID)
                                           End Sub)
                                End Function) _
                    .Render()
End Code

The following example demonstrates alternative ToolBar configurations.

...
.ToolBar(Function(t)
                 t.Template("template as a string")
         End Function) _
...

...
.ToolBar(Function(t)
                 t.Template(Sub()
                                @<text>server template</text>
                            End Sub)
         End Function) _
...

Controller

Imports Kendo.Mvc.Extensions
Imports Kendo.Mvc.UI

Public Class HomeController
    Inherits System.Web.Mvc.Controller

    Function Person_Read(<DataSourceRequest> request As DataSourceRequest) As ActionResult
        Dim grades = New List(Of Person)()
        grades.Add(New Person() With {
         .PersonID = 1,
         .PersonName = "Person1",
         .PersonBirthDate = New DateTime(Now.Year, Now.Month, Now.Day, 10, 30, 0, 0)
    })
        grades.Add(New Person() With {
         .PersonID = 2,
         .PersonName = "Person2",
         .PersonBirthDate = New DateTime(Now.Year, Now.Month, Now.Day, 11, 15, 0, 0)
    })
        Dim res As IQueryable(Of Person) = grades.AsQueryable()
        Dim res1 As DataSourceResult = res.ToDataSourceResult(request)
        Return Json(res1)
    End Function

End Class

Model

Public Class Person
    Public Property PersonID As Integer
    Public Property PersonName As String
    Public Property PersonBirthDate As DateTime
End Class

Editor Template

@ModelType Nullable(Of Integer)

@Code
    Html.Kendo().NumericTextBoxFor(Function(m) m) _
      .HtmlAttributes(New With {.style = "width:100%"}) _
    .Render()
End Code
