DevExpress MVCxGridView in Orchard module - Callbacks don't work

Hello,

I have finally found a solution. It turned out to be a pretty simple one (like usual) and i want to share it here, in case other people want to use DevExpress with Orchard:

In your Orchard module, you have to create a Routes.cs file (in the root of the module). There you have to add this:

C#
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Web.Mvc;  
using System.Web.Routing;  
using Orchard.Mvc.Routes;  

namespace CentralStationDataView  
{  
    public class Routes : IRouteProvider  
    {  
        public void GetRoutes(ICollection<RouteDescriptor> routes)  
        {  
            foreach (var routeDescriptor in this.GetRoutes())  
            {  
                routes.Add(routeDescriptor);  
            }  
        }  

        public IEnumerable<RouteDescriptor> GetRoutes()  
        {  
            return new[]  
            {  
                new RouteDescriptor  
                {  
                    Priority = 5,  
                    Route = new Route(  
                        "AreaName",  
                        new RouteValueDictionary  
                        {  
                            { "area", "AreaName" },  
                            { "controller", "ControllerName" },  
                            { "action", "ActionName" }  
                        },  
                        new RouteValueDictionary(),  
                        new RouteValueDictionary  
                        {  
                            { "area", "AreaName" }  
                        },  
                        new MvcRouteHandler())  
                }  
            };  
        }  
    }  
}  

You can make the AreaName up as you like, it doesn't matter (as far as i know) what you call it. Make sure that you don't add the "Controller" suffix to the ControllerName.
Then, in your GridView settings you have to add this:
settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { area = "AreaName", Controller = "ControllerName", Action = "ViewDataPartial" };
These values have to all be exactly the same as the values in the Routes.cs file. The "area" property was critical for me, i already had the Routes.cs file and everything, but i didn;t add the area property to the CallbackRouteValues.

The second part of the solution is that you have to make a partial view with only and i stress, only, the GridView inside it. So no scripts, no extra html elements, no text, nothing.

Hello Obec,
It seems that the same theme was discussed in the 'When do DevExpress MVC support Orchard Project module?' thread. We do not support Orchard projects.
