Dynamically Generated Telerik MVC3 Grid - Add Checkboxes - partial-views

Question

I have a grid that is dynamically generated based on search criteria. I render the grid in a partial view using Ajax. That all works fine.
I now need to add a checkbox column as the first column.
Also, how do I get filtering, sorting paging etc. to work now since it is in a partial view.
When i click on a header to sort I get a Page not found error and the filter Icon doesnt do anything.
And one more thing. When I try to add a GridCommandColumnSettings to the grid I get the error
"Invalid initializer member declarator"
Code is below for the gridcolumnsettings
public GridColumnSettings[] NewColumns(DataTable fullDT)
{
GridColumnSettings[] newColumns = new GridColumnSettings[fullDT.Columns.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < fullDT.Columns.Count; i++)
{
// set the visibility property for the DeliveryID
bool boolDeliveryID;
if (fullDT.Columns[i].ColumnName == "DeliveryID")
boolDeliveryID = false;
else
boolDeliveryID = true;
newColumns[i] = new GridColumnSettings
{
new GridCommandColumnSettings
{
Commands =
{
new GridEditActionCommand(),
new GridDeleteActionCommand()
},
Width = "200px",
Title = "Commands"
},
Member = fullDT.Columns[i].ColumnName,
Title = fullDT.Columns[i].ColumnName,
Visible = boolDeliveryID,
Filterable = true,
Sortable = true
};
}
return newColumns;
}
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
I edited my post to add my partial for the Grid
Here is my partial for the grid
#(Html.Telerik().Grid<System.Data.DataRow>(Model.Data.Rows.Cast<System.Data.DataRow>())
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.LoadSettings(Model.Columns as IEnumerable<GridColumnSettings>);
})
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_DeliveryManagerCustomBinding", "Deliveries"))
.EnableCustomBinding(true)
.Resizable(resize => resize.Columns(true))
)

I don't add columns this way when I use the Telerik Grid control, but looking at what you're doing I would hazard a guess to say you will need to do something like the following:
increase the size of the newColumns array by 1 (because we're going to add in the checkbox column):
GridColumnSettings[] newColumns = new GridColumnSettings[fullDT.Columns.Count + 1];
if you want it at the beginning you will need to do the following before your for-loop:
GridColumnSettings s = new GridColumnSettings() {
ClientTemplate("<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkeditems\" value=\"some value\" />")
Title("title goes in here")
};
Then you will add it into your array:
newColumns[0] = s;
and then increase the start index for your for-loop to 1:
for (int i = 1; i < fullDT.Columns.Count; i++)
the checkbox column will go at the beginning
