I am using an example provided in this post http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/how-to-use-gridtemplatecolumn-in-radgrid-for-google-like-filtering.aspx which was attached as a zip file called "templatecolumnwithfiltering2.zip". I've re-created it using our SQL Server table data, however, I added some more columns and what I am getting is concatenated data of all the columns in each column. I have added a screenshot of what I am getting. Each column should only hold one type of data. The columns should be "Client Name", "Billing Name" and "Client Number", respectively, but each column has all the data jumbled up in each column instead of in separate columns.
Here is my code:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="scriptManager" runat="server">
        </asp:ScriptManager>
        <asp:PlaceHolder ID="holder" Visible="true" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [table]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
        <telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="ajaxPanel" EnableAJAX="false" runat="server">
 
        </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

Hi Alex,

I reviewed the code snippet which you post and I saw that you add three literals bound to three different fields into each template column:
public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
       {
  
           LiteralControl literalControl = new LiteralControl();
           literalControl.ID = "literalControl";
           literalControl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(literalControl_DataBinding);
  
           LiteralControl literalControl1 = new LiteralControl();
           literalControl1.ID = "literalControl1";
           literalControl1.DataBinding += new EventHandler(literalControl1_DataBinding);
  
           LiteralControl literalControl2 = new LiteralControl();
           literalControl2.ID = "literalControl2";
           literalControl2.DataBinding += new EventHandler(literalControl2_DataBinding);
  
           CheckBox box = new CheckBox();
  
           box.ID = "boxControl";
  
           box.DataBinding += new EventHandler(box_DataBinding);
  
           container.Controls.Add(literalControl);
           container.Controls.Add(literalControl1);
           container.Controls.Add(literalControl2);
           container.Controls.Add(box);
  
       }
To achieve the desired functionality you need to add only one literal into your column which is bound to a different field. For example:
public partial class TemplateColumn : ITemplate
   {
       string fieldName = "";
 
    public TemplateColumn(string fieldName)
    {
        this.fieldName = fieldName;
    }
 
       public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
       {
           LiteralControl literalControl = new LiteralControl();
           if (fieldName == "Client_Name")
           {
               literalControl.ID = "literalControl";
               literalControl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(literalControl_DataBinding);
           }
           else if(fieldName == "Billing_Atty")
           {
                literalControl.ID = "literalControl1";
                literalControl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(literalControl1_DataBinding);
           }
           else if(fieldName == "Client_Number")
           {
                literalControl.ID = "literalControl2";
                literalControl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(literalControl2_DataBinding);
           }
 
           CheckBox box = new CheckBox();
  
           box.ID = "boxControl";
  
           box.DataBinding += new EventHandler(box_DataBinding);
  
           container.Controls.Add(literalControl);
           container.Controls.Add(box);
       }
Then when you create the TempalteColumn template you can pass the fieldname:
NewTemplateColumn templateColumn = new NewTemplateColumn();
           templateColumn.ItemTemplate = new TemplateColumn("Client_Name");
           grid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(templateColumn);
           templateColumn.DataField = "Client_Name";
           templateColumn.HeaderText = "Client Name";
           templateColumn.UniqueName = "Client_Name";
  
           NewTemplateColumn templateColumn1 = new NewTemplateColumn();
           templateColumn1.ItemTemplate = new TemplateColumn("Billing_Atty");
           grid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(templateColumn1);
           templateColumn1.DataField = "Billing_Atty";
           templateColumn1.HeaderText = "Billing Attorney";
           templateColumn1.UniqueName = "Billing_Atty";
  
           NewTemplateColumn templateColumn2 = new NewTemplateColumn();
           templateColumn2.ItemTemplate = new TemplateColumn("Client_Number");
           grid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(templateColumn2);
           templateColumn2.DataField = "Client_Number";
           templateColumn2.HeaderText = "Client Number";
           templateColumn2.UniqueName = "Client_Number";

Please give it try and let me know if it helps you.
