Grid binding to DataTable with custom popup editor

[Thomas]

Hi,

we need to bind datatables to a grid. For that we found the following example code:

This is working fine with the following exception:

We need a custom popup editor. But this requires a model we do not have because the grid is <dynamic>. What can we do?

 Best regards,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Since the Grid is bound to dynamic object a strongly typed object can not be used in the popup editor. A solution would be to define the view helper with the name indicating the property of the model they will be bound to.

Basically the custom editor template will look like :

<h3>Customized Product edit template</h3>
      <br />
      <div>
          @Html.Editor("ProductName")
      </div>

In this case we assume that the model has a "ProductName" field.
