kendo grid get the max length of the column values data

Question

I have a kendo grid like this..

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<baseballViewModel>()
      .Name("baseball")
      .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource 
          .Ajax() 
          .Read(read => read.Action("Index", "baseball"))
          .ServerOperation(false)
          )
      .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:175px;" })
      .Columns(col => {
              col.Bound(player=> player.Date).Width(85);
              col.Bound(player=> player.Year).Width(55);
              col.Bound(player=> player.Name).Width(150);
              col.Bound(player=> player.team).Width(120);

      }).Sortable() 
        .Scrollable()
        .Pageable()
)

In my javascript I would like to get the column "team" values max length. I mean, I would like to find the data strings length of all the values of column team. Is it possible. I am familiar with using client template and passing individual team values to javascript. But this once seems to be tricky.

I'm assuming you want to add up the total length of every team length, and a team = a list.

I would do this by creating a foreach loop after you have fetched the data in your controller, looping through your results, and using the .Length property on each team list to add the value to a counting field, which you would then send to the model.

The alternative would be to access your grid with jQuery ie. $('#baseball').data('kendoGrid'), then loop through each row this way to store in a javascript variable.

We can easily set the maximum length using this code

  model: {
                    id: "CLASSID",
                    fields: {
                        CLASSID: { type: "number" },
                        CLSNAME: { type: "string" },
                        CLSFLAG: {
                            type: "string", validation: {
                                required: true,maxlength:"3"
                            }
                        },
                        CLSSTATUS: { type: "boolean" }
                    }
                }
