I have same problem as Daniel had in this topic, but his solution doesn't work for me:
So use-case. Users adds 2 new records one after another:
- Presses "Add new record" button of a grid
- Fills the fields (name="Alex", amount=10, comment="first").
- Record one is ready. Press 'Save'. (data goes to controller and than to Database)
User see one record in a grid
Press "Add new record" button again
- Fills fields (name="Bob", amount=20, comment = "second").
Record one is ready. Press 'Save'. Data goes to controller and than to Database. In this moment something happens and grid send Ajax request again with record one data to controller.
User updates grid and see three records
"Alex | 10 | first" (duplicated record) ID = 1
"Bob | 20 | second" ID = 2
"Alex | 10 | first" ID = 1
They recommend to return an ID for correct binding\update of data source with new record. And I return it (new ID from database comes in response with bouns entity)! and this doesn't help. Only if I add first record and refresh page with F5 and after that add second record everything is ok. But if add another one, the third records - problems appears again
Code in controller:
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult Create(BonusDto bonusDto)
{
BonusAggregate bonus;
if (bonusDto.Amount <= 0)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("Amount should be more than 0");
if (bonusDto.EmployeeId <= 0)
throw new ArgumentNullException("You should specify an existing employee");
using (var dbContext = new DatabaseContext())
{
BonusesRepository = new BonusesRepository(dbContext);
var employeeRepository = new EmployeesRepository(dbContext);
bonus = new BonusFactory(employeeRepository).Create(bonusDto);
BonusesRepository.Save(bonus);
}
HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.Created;
return Json(bonus); // try to return ID after bonus was saved
}
UI Code
// creates bonuses grid control

if (newValueEmployeeId !== undefined &&

newValueEmployeeLastName !== "") {
setNewValueEmployeeIdAndLastName(newValueEmployeeId, newValueEmployeeLastName);
gridDataSource.model.EmployeeId = newValueEmployeeId; // it's a hack to bind model and autocomplete control
gridDataSource.model.EmployeeLastName = newValueEmployeeLastName;
} else {
gridDataSource.model.EmployeeId = currentValueEmployeeId;
gridDataSource.model.EmployeeLastName = currentValueEmployeeLastName;
}
},
edit: function(e) {
setCurrentValueEmployeeIdAndLastName(e.model.EmployeeId, e.model.EmployeeLastName);
},

});
