Bit field not displaying "Yes" or "No"

[Bruce]

I added ClientTemplate() to my column so that I can display the value as "Yes" and "No" rather than the default "True" and "False".

columns.Bound(p => p.IsActive).ClientTemplate("#= IsActive ? 'Yes': 'No'
#").Title("Is Active").Width(100);<BR>

However, the grid is still displaying True and False.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Hello Bruce,


The template syntax looks correct. Is the current Grid using an Ajax or Server dataSource? If it is using a server bound dataSource, you should use the Template() method and a server template instead.

Yes, I'm using a server side data source.

Please send me a link showing how to do this using the Template() method.

Hello Bruce,


The Template method accepts razor delegate as a parameter. Here is a sample implementation of the conditional logic in it.
E.g.

columns.Bound(p => p.IsActive).Template(@<text>@(item.IsActive? "Yes" : "No")</text>);

I wish you a great day!

Thanks!

However, I have a question with the "item.IsActive" section of the code.

What is item?  (or is it @item)?  Neither of them work.  Nor does using p.IsActive.

Thanks again!

Hi Bruce,

item is the parameter in the templated razor delegate that refers to the current Grid item. Could you send me an isolated example, which demonstrates the problem, as I am not sure why the solution is not working on your side?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Here is the view.  The p in "(p.IsActive ?" has a red squiggly line underneath it.  The error is: "C#: Unknown entity 'p'".

Thanks,  - Bruce

@model IEnumerable<DataModel.tbl_spm_phonebook>

@{
ViewBag.Title = "GMAM Phonebook";
 
}

<hgroup class="title">
<h1>@ViewBag.Title</h1>
</hgroup>


@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
.Name("Phonebook")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.FullName).Title("Full Name").Width(150);
columns.Bound(p => p.GMAMID).Title("NAM ID").Width(100);
//columns.Bound(p => p.IsActive).ClientTemplate("#= IsActive ? 'Yes': 'No' #").Title("Is Active").Width(100);
columns.Bound(p => p.IsActive).Template(@<text>@(p.IsActive? "Yes" : "No")</text>);
// columns.Template(d => @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = d.PhonebookID, }));
columns.Command(command => { command.Edit(); }).Width(150);
columns.Template(d => @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = d.PhonebookID, }));
})

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Server()
.Sort(sort => sort.Add("FullName").Ascending())
.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.PhonebookID))
.Create(update => update.Action("EditingPopup_Create", "Grid"))
.Read(read => read.Action("EditingPopup_Read", "Grid"))
.Update(update => update.Action("editingPopup_Update", "Grid"))
)
.Pageable()
.Sortable()
.Scrollable(scr => scr.Height(400))
.Filterable()
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp))
.ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
)

@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")

Here is the controller (top part):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using DataModel;

namespace SpreadMaster.Controllers
{
public class PhonebookController : Controller
{
private SpreadMasterEntities db = new SpreadMasterEntities();

//
// GET: /Phonebook/

public ActionResult Index()
{
SpreadMasterEntities contextDM = new SpreadMasterEntities();
var phonebook = contextDM.tbl_spm_phonebook;

return View(phonebook.ToList());
}

Hi Bruce,


As stated in the previous answer, the item keyword is mandatory to use instead of p in the current case as it is used as a parameter in templated delegates. If the problem with the conditional statement persists, could you please send me a runnable isolated example, which demonstrates it, so I could inspect it locally?
