The server-side part of the extension is the DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.dll
assembly. Install it from NuGet with the following command.
Install-Package DevExtreme.AspNet.Data
The server needs a custom model binder that will receive data loading options from the client and bind them to the model. The following links show how to implement it.
NOTE: If you use DevExtreme.AspNet.Data
along with DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, you do not need to implement the custom model binder, because it is already done in the ASP.NET MVC Controls library.
The server-side API is documented here.
