Kendo Grid initialized from HTML table - get entire data object

Question

I'm using Kendo Grid on an existing HTML table which is fine.

I'd like to do other stuff with the data. I've figured out how to get the dataItem for a selected row, but I'd also like to use the entire data source (i.e. the 'converted' HTML items) on the dataBound event.

I'm sure this is pretty simple, I just don't know where to look for the 'raw' data.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

So you want to find dataItem and datasource for particular grid row right? — Jaimin
Can you add more clarify to your question. What is it exactly that you want? — ckv
Sorry if that wasn't clear. Basically, when you initialize a Kendo Grid from a table, it must convert the HTML in the table to a javascript object. I just wanted to access that object as soon as it's available. I think I've figured it out though. — Mat

This may not be the 'official' way to access the data, but it works. This is added to the Grid configuration:

dataBound: function(e) {
  var data = this.dataSource.options.data;
}

Pretty simple really. Don't know why I couldn't find it sooner.
