title: Can you use Kendo UI's dataSource to get data straight from a database or C# dataSource?
body: <p>Based on my reading, it seems to me that the only way for Kendo UI's dataSource to get its data from remote devices is via HTTP. e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var remoteDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
      transport: {
          read: {
              url: "http://search.twitter.com/search.json",
              dataType: "jsonp",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What if I do not have a way to get the data via HTTP?</p>
  
  <p>I have a web forms page and I need to implement a treeView which will get data from a database. </p>
  
  <p>How would I go about doing this?</p>
