I'm trying to set dataSource to a variable containing xml information but the Kendo Grid show with any data.

My variable returnValue value is;

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<logData>
<log><historyId>12</historyId><userId>1</userId><taskDate>2013-08-12 00:00:00</taskDate></log>
<log><historyId>13</historyId><userId>1</userId><taskDate>2013-08-14 00:00:00</taskDate></log>
<log><historyId>14</historyId><userId>1</userId><taskDate>2013-08-15 00:00:00</taskDate></log>
<log><historyId>15</historyId><userId>1</userId><taskDate>2013-08-19 00:00:00</taskDate></log>
<log><historyId>16</historyId><userId>1</userId><taskDate>2013-08-21 00:00:00</taskDate></log>
</logData>"
My html code is;

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
                dataSource: {
                    data: returnValue,
                    schema: {
                        model: {
                            fields: {
                                historyId: { type: "number" },
                                userId: { type: "number" },
                                taskDate: { type: "string" }
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    pageSize: 20
                },
                height: 550,
                scrollable: true,
                sortable: true,
                filterable: true,
                pageable: {
                    input: true,
                    numeric: false
                },
                columns: [
                    { field: "historyId", title: "History ID", format: "{0:c}", width: "130px" },
                    { field: "userId", title: "User ID", format: "{0:c}", width: "130px" },
                    { field: "taskDate", title: "Task Date", width: "130px" }
                ]
            });

Solution 1

According to Telerik, you have to define the type and root of xml...

JavaScript

schema: {
  type: 'xml',
  data: '/logData/log',
  model: {
    fields: {
      historyId: 'historyId/text()',
      userId: 'userId/text()',
      taskDate: 'taskDate/text()
    }
  }
},

Remove also the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> part from the string...

Before the changes the page show the grid with column headers and paging area. After the changes the page show only a gray square.

I didn't checked you field declarations...it should be a bit different in case of XML source...see updated answer...
