Is it possible to specify multiple ID for model in Kendo Web UI?

Question

I am completely new to Kendo UI, so maybe I missing something, but after reading the docs API: http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/model it seems Kendo is limited only to work with single ID. For example, let's say I have a grid in which each row is identified by pair of values (because underlying data have such constraint). So, if I've read it right there is no straightforward way to express this in Kendo? One workaround I can think of is creating some ad-hoc value which is encoded ids like "value1|value2" (string) and when getting data back from UI, decoding them back. Is there any more clear way? Specific example To focus on something substantial: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing-inline.html and the relevant code is (from .cshtml file): `.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.ProductID))` in my case it would be (the simplest way I can think of): `.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.ProductComboId1Id2))` where `ProductComboId1Id2` is a string encoded as described above.

Accepted Answer

You can use multiple IDs on a single grid. Below I've included syntax for declaring them as well as how to access them via javascript.

Declaration

```
        .Model(model =>
        {
            model.Id(i => i.ProductID);
            model.Id(i => i.ProductID2);
        })
```

Accessing

```
function GetIDs() {
var itemGrid = $("#GRIDNAME").data("kendoGrid");
var dataItem = itemGrid.dataItem($(this));
var ID1 = dataItem.ProductID;
var ID2 = dataItem.ProductID2;}
```

function GetID() would be invoked on the grid like this through the row's command column:

```
        columns.Command(command =>
        {
            command.Custom("Edit").Text("Edit").Click("GetIDs");
            command.Destroy();
        });
```
