I can databind the grid to using DataSourceResult and HTTPGET no problems, the additional paramets are sent using querystring and readable through my WEB API controller.
My questions is can you/anyone provide an example of using HTTPOST and sending complex types as parameters?
How do you get around setting [FromBody] on the complex type yet still use the example below for HTTP model binder:
public DataSourceResult Method([ModelBinder(typeof(Imagine.Mvc.ModelBinders.KendoDataSourceRequestModelBinder))] DataSourceRequest request,
ComplexType object)
{
}

Hello Josh,
When handling POST request with complext types you should implement custom media type formatter. The following articles explains in details(with examples how this can be achived).

I'm also attaching a sample demonstrating Grid read operations with POST requests. The custom media formatter is used to parse and populate the DataSoureRequest object. This is required for properly population of the filter expressions which are also kind of complex object.
