Exception in KendoUI Grid InCell edit required for batch updates with batch set to false

Question

I am getting an exception while trying to use the KendoUI Grid for an ASP.NET MVC (.net 4.5) app being developed in Visual Studio 2013. I've configured the grid to use InLine editing and have explicitly set Batch to false in the data source section. This is being rendered as a partial view. It should be noted that if GridEditMode.InLine is set to GridEditMode.InCell no exception is thrown.

Exception

        .Batch(false)
        .Events(events => events.Error("error_handler"))
        .Model(model =>
        {
            model.Id(p => p.PhoneNumberId);
            model.Field(p => p.PerId).Editable(false).DefaultValue(@Model.PerId);
        })
        .Read(read => read.Action("_GetPhones", "Pers", new { AgentId = Model.AgentId }))
        .Create(create => create.Action("_AddPhone", "Pers"))
        .Update(update => update.Action("_EditPhone", "Pers"))
        .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("_DeletePhone", "Pers"))
    )

Answer 1

I've resolved this...

In the toolbar I had the following command toolBar.Save() which appears to have told the control that it was going to be in a batch edit mode of some kind. By removing this I'm now able to get the behavior I want...

Copy and pasting examples is dangerous!

Answer 2

change

.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))

to

.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InLine))

and as you said remove toolBar.Save();
