title: How to get a Telerik Grid filtered based on previous page selection
body: <p>What I'm trying to do:-</p>
  
  <p>Index page would have a dropdown of say categories, select 1 then submit, redirected to telerik grid page with all records kept from a big table of selected category.</p>
  
  <p>so for example pet store, dropdown for which type of pets the store has then on next page a grid is populated with all pets of that type which the store has available today.</p>
  
  <p>already got the date filter sorted since that's applied to the databind.</p>
  
  <p>database is connection via an edmx, it has 2 table with no relationships but there is say a category/pet table which goes into details for each category/pet and then there is a record table which has a category/pet column of which the 2 tables have that single field incommon.</p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to get this to work by using ViewData which works perfectly fine for the drop down &lt;%: Html.DropDownList("category", (SelectList)ViewData["CategoryList"])%> but fails to populate the grid on the next page.</p>
  
  <p>so something sorta like <a href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/selectionserverside" rel="nofollow">http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/selectionserverside</a> but if possible with a dropdown and across 2 pages.</p>
