[Solved] Grid Bound Column format is getting html encoded. any way around?

[Stephen Hebert]

I am trying to insert a link into my grid like so:

columns.Bound(c => c.DocumentId).Format(%><%

                                                                                 Html.ActionLink(

                                                                                     MyStringTable.Publish, "Publish",

                                                                                     new RouteValueDictionary

                                                                                         {{"id", "{0}"}}).ToString()%><%);

When Rendered the column looks like this:

<a href="/Contract/Publish/13">Publish</a>

Instead of:

_Publish_

(beginining and ending underscores denote a link behavior)

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Stephen Hebert,

By default the content is indeed HTML encoded for security reasons. Use Encoded(false) to do the opposite:

columns.Bound(c => c.DocumentId).Format(Html.ActionLink(MyStringTable.Publish, "Publish",new RouteValueDictionary{{"id", "{0}"}}).ToString()).Encoded(false);
