MVC .NET Using Datatables CRUD?

john.wright.ctr@usmc.mil

I'm new to Datatables. I've using the Gird functionality ...and it's great. I'm having some problems "wiring up" the Add & Edit functionality. The .NET Sample project uses Web API design pattern. I don't use that exact pattern in many of my systems. My question is this: Will Datatables ONLY work when receiving a IHttpActionResult response and sending the HttpContext.Current.Request? Can it work properly if I return just a JSON response (JsonResult)? I can capture the events and create my own Edit Popup no problem....but I'd like to use ALL Datatables intrinsic functionality....that I'm having some "issues" with

Will Datatables ONLY work when receiving a IHttpActionResult response and sending the HttpContext.Current.Request?

Editor.Process() will actually take a few different parameter types:

• Process(IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<String, String>>) - Process a request from the Editor client-side to get / set data. For use with WebAPI's 'FormDataCollection' collection
• Public method Process(NameValueCollection) - Process a request from the Editor client-side to get / set data. For use with MVC's 'Request.Form' collection
• Public method Process(HttpRequest) - Process a request from the Editor client-side to get / set data. For use with an HttpRequest object
• Public method Process(DtRequest) - Process a request from the Editor client-side to get / set data.

Can you get your data in one of those forms?
