title: Kendo DataSourceRequest and DataSourceResult with .Net Core
body: <p>I appreciate <a href="https://blog.falafel.com/server-paging-sorting-filtering-kendo-datasourcerequest/" rel="noreferrer">Kendo's DataSourceRequest and DataSourceResult</a>.  Unfortunately, it seems the only example code and (readily discoverable) supporting libraries are for the full CLR.  For those of us using .Net Core, I have no idea where the proper documentation or libraries are found.  Worse, I don't think the libraries for .Net Core are complete.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone point me to .Net Core specific documentation and nuget package name(s)?</p>
  
  <p>In particular I'd like to solve the <a href="http://www.telerik.com/forums/kendo-grid-filtering-by-datetime" rel="noreferrer">filter de-serialization problem described here</a>.  That link explains that the DataSourceRequest filter will have parameter values properly de-serialized as long as I decorate my MVC actions with the [DataSourceRequest] attribute, as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[HttpPost]
  public JsonResult Get([DataSourceRequest] DataSourceRequest request)
  {
      var employees = db.Employees.Where(e =&gt; e.IsActive);
      var results = employees.ToDataSourceResult(request);
      return Json(results);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, Kendo (or the open source community?) does not seem to have provided that <code>[DataSourceRequest]</code> attribute for .Net Core.  I'd also like to the the <code>parameterMap</code> function I see so many articles discussing...but it also appears to be unavailable for .Net Core.</p>
  
  <p>Possibly these capabilities are truly missing for .Net Core, or perhaps I'm not aware of the correct place to shop for the libs or Nugets I need.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for guidance.</p>
