Child Row taking Parent Data

[Aetna]

Hi,

I have a hierarchical grid with where the child is displaying data from the parent, I suspect its the way Im binding to the data.

Parent

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model.CVXElements) // Specify the type of the grid

.Name("Grid")

.Columns(columns =>

{

    columns.Bound(p => p.ElementSeqNo).Title("Element ID").Width("100px").ClientTemplate(

        Html.ActionLink("#= ElementSeqNo #", "PUSH", "ElementBuilder", new {url = "~/PagCC/EB_ElementAddEdit.aspx", ID = "#= ElementSeqNo #", cvxCode = Model.CVXCode  }, null).ToString());

   

    columns.Bound(p => p.ElementName).Width("900px");

    columns.Bound(p => p.ElementStatus).Width("100px");

    columns.Bound(p => p.ElementActive).Title("Live").Width("100px");  

    columns.Bound(p => p.ParentElement).HtmlAttributes( new {@style= "display:none"}).HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { @style= "display:none;" });                   

})

.ClientDetailTemplateId("ParentElementTemplate")

.Events(events => events.DataBound("dataBound"))

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

.Ajax()

)

.Events(events => events.DataBound("dataBound"))

Child

<script id="ParentElementTemplate" type="text/kendo-tmpl">

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid<ElementBuilder.Models.Elements>(Model.CVXElementParents)

            .Name("ParentGrid")

            .Columns(columns =>

            {

 

                                columns.Bound(p => p.ElementSeqNo).Title("Element ID").Width("91px")

                                .ClientTemplate(

                                    Html.ActionLink("#= ElementSeqNo #", "PUSH", "ElementBuilder", new {url = "~/PagCC/EB_ElementAddEdit.aspx", ID = "#= ElementSeqNo #"  }, null).ToString());

                               

                                columns.Bound(p => p.ElementName).Width("910px");

                                columns.Bound(p => p.ElementStatus).Width("100px");

                                columns.Bound(p => p.ElementActive).Title("Live").Width("88px"); 

            })

            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

                .Ajax()

                .Read(read => read.Action("HierarchyBinding_ParentElements", "ElementBuilder", new { iElemSeqNo = "#=ElementSeqNo#" }))

            )

            .ToClientTemplate()

 

    )

</script>

Both grids use the ElementSeqNo field to create a Hyperlink, however as stated, the child is taking the parent element data.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Ross,

The "#" character needs to be escaped in order for it to be evaluated in the correct context e.g.

"\\#= ElementSeqNo \\#"

Also, the Html.ActionLink helper will encode the route parameters so the expression will not be correctly evaluated. In order to add it correctly you should use the approach from this documentation topic.

Kind regards,
