Reloading/refreshing Kendo Grid

You can use

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read(); <!--  first reload data source -->

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh(); <!--  refresh current UI -->

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

I never do refresh.

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();

alone works for me all the time.
