Here is Part 1
A JQ Grid is a light-weight open source grid developed in JavaScript Jquery to fill data from the database.
To download the JQ Grid js file go to the following site:
http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=6.
Now I will create an ASP.Net application where I will display the record from an array through the JQ Grid.
Step 1:
In Visual Studio 2010 first create a simple ASP.Net MVC3 web application project named "mvc3test1".
Figure 1:
Step 2:
After that add the required JS file and folder for the JQ grid. The folder and file structure will look as shown in the following figure1 marked with red.
Figure 2:
See here in the "css" folder we have a style sheet named "jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.css" and also under the "js" folder see the required "js" file for jq grid.
Step 3:
Now go to the "Index.cshtml" under the "Views" folder.
Now the required Jquery file for jq grid is:
Step 4:
Now copy the following code there:
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<link href="../css/ui-darkness/jquery-ui-1.8.12.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="../css/ui.jqgrid.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

var mydata = [

<h2>@ViewBag.Message</h2>
<p>
JQ Grid in ASP.Net MVC3 razor
</p>
<div id="pager" ></div>
<br />
<br />
<table id="list1" ></table>
<div id="pager1" ></div>
Step 5:
Now the coding screen shot for the search facility in jq grid is:
jQuery("#list1").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager1', { del: false, add: false, edit: false }, {}, {}, {}, { multipleSearch: true });
Now run the application; it will look like that.
See the grid. Now click the search Button which I marked with red. After clicking that you will see:
See here the "search" Window Opens. Now we are giving the condition that "Inv No" greater than 2 will display. Now press the "Find" Button. It will look like the following figure:
See here the only records showing are the ones with the "inv no" greater than 1.
Conclusion: So in this application we have seen how to do a search operation in a jq grid using a razor view engine in ASP.Net MVC 3.
