[Solved] Bug with DetailView with nested control Name property

[leblanc]

The following works:

    .DetailView(details=>
        details.ClientTemplate(
            Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
                .Name("_Grid_TabStrip_Post_<#= Id #>")

However if i introduce 1 level of nesting like:

    .DetailView(details=>
        details.ClientTemplate(
            Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
                .Name("_Grid_TabStrip_Post_<#= Model.Id #>")

I get a javascript error when it tries to apply the tabstrip behavior.  The generated code creates a syntax error due to escape sequence.
$('#_Grid_TabStrip_Post_' + Model\\.Id)




Applying to route data Model.Id works so why wouldn't this be supported in .Name(....) ?
                    items.Add().Text("Details")
                            .LoadContentFrom("_Details", "Post", new { Id = "<#= Model.Id #>" });


We are planning to upgrade to kendo ui Q1 2013 when it gets released in march.  Did kendo inherit this problem also?

Hello,

The difference with the URL is that the dot is unallowed character for an ID. Thus it needs to be escaped which will also make the template not valid. The same problem will occur in Kendo. In order to avoid this you could use a view model which does not use complex type for the property.

I understand about viewmodels.  My goal was to  reduce complexity on what's code generated (more code to maintain - when it is a copy of the poco ef object)  t4scaffolding


 public class GridViewModel<T>
 {
  public T Model { get; set; }
 
  [ScaffoldColumn(false)]
  public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
 }

I guess there is not a way around this so i'll code generate the viewmodel and be done with it.
