 {

        [Route("API/Tenant/GetTenants")]

        public IEnumerable<Tenant> GetTenants()

        {

            List<Tenant> objTenant = new List<Tenant>();

            try

                ViewBag.Tenant = objTenant;

             //TODO: log error in db.

            }

            return objTenant;

}

$("#ddlTenants").kendoDropDownList({

        optionLabel: "Please select a tenant...",

        dataTextField: "Name",

        dataValueField: "ID",

        dataSource: {

            type: "json",

            serverFiltering: true,

            transport: {

                read: "http://localhost:80/API/Tenant/GetTenants"

            }

        },
