  Hi,

  We are investigating the FlexGrid search control and have a few questions:

  1. Is it possible to load all the data to the client and then have search work on this data rather than making a call to the server each time there is a new/refined search?

  We have a large dataset which takes a while to load, it would be good to only load it once.

  2. With reference to https://demos.componentone.com/ASPNET/5/MVCExplorer/FlexGrid/Searching

  2.1) Can you point me to documentation for:
  
  ControlOptions
  
  [C1JsonRequest]
  
  CollectionViewRequest
  
  C1Json

  2.2) Also its unclear how the Searching_Bind and Searching methods are being routed to in the FlexGridController, is there a convention? Are all the possibilities documented somewhere?

  3. With reference to https://demos.componentone.com/ASPNET/MVCExplorer/FlexGrid/Searching

  Why is this so different to the other example? Is this an example of the MVC-Core control documented at https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc-core/C1.AspNetCore.Mvc~C1.Web.Mvc.FlexGridSearch.html?

  It seems like there are two different versions of the MVC control, our project is Net Core 3.1, which is the correct one?

  Hi,
  
  By setting the disable-server-read property to true, you may load the complete data at client. Please refer to the following demo sample for reference:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/demos/aspnet/5/mvcexplorer/FlexGrid/DisableServerRead

  Here is the documentation link:
  
  [C1JSONRequest] https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc-core/FlexGridDataBinding.html
  
  CollectionViewRequest : https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc-core/C1.AspNetCore.Mvc~C1.Web.Mvc.CollectionViewRequest`1.html
  
  C1Json : https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc-core/websearch.html?query=C1JSON

  FlexGrid DataBinding: https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc-core/DataBindingFlexGrid.html

  For the demo sample, the controller is FlexGridController and the Views are under the FlexGrid folder in Views. That is why the action are redirected to the FlexGridController.
  
  You may also specify the controller name for Action method.

  The documentation you are referring to is for the class for FlexGridSearch assembly. Here is the implementation documentation reference:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc-core/full-text-search.html

  Hope it clears!
