title: Kendo UI with ASP.NET MVC3 default values when adding row to grid
body: <p>I am converting an existing app from Telerik MVC extensions to the newer KendoUI product.  I am using the grid control.  How do I specify the default values for the columns when adding a new row to the grid?</p>
  
  <p>With the old Telerik MVC extensions, I did the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.Editable(editing=&gt;editing.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell).DefaultDataItem(Model.defaultItem))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The defaultItem of my model was my default for added rows.  So how do I do this with Kendo?</p>
