There are numerous example for C3 but I had to spend quite some time to adapt it to my project using VB.NET

 

Hope it can be of help to you.

I assume that you have

already added the GridMVC package from NUGET.

Here are step by step guide

Controller

No change needed , see a sample below,

Function Index() As ActionResult
Return View(db.Categories.ToList())
End Function

View

Add the following import at the top of your view

@imports  GridMVC.html

 

You would need to reference the following also

 

Add the stylesheets (check the location after you install the GridMVC package)

<link href=”~/Content/Gridmvc.css” rel=”stylesheet” />
    <link href=”~/Content/gridmvc.datepicker.min.css” rel=”stylesheet” />
For your paging support

Install the PagedList package also

Once you have installed this package then add the following reference to your view, this will help you format your paging buttons

properly.

 <link href=”~/Content/PagedList.css” rel=”stylesheet” />

Add the following code for your Grid to appear – In the following examples my Model has three fields – CatId, CatName

and ParentCatId. Make changes to suit your needs.

@Html.Grid(Model).Columns(Function(columns)
                                   
                              columns.Add(Function(o) o.CatID).Titled(“Cat #“).SetWidth(40)
                                 
                              columns.Add(Function(o) o.CatName).Titled(“Category“).SetWidth(100)
                                  
                              columns.Add(Function(o) o.ParentCatID).Titled(“Parent Cat #“).SetWidth(40)
                          
                          End Function
).WithPaging(10).Sortable(True)
