Client-Side Binding with GridTemplateColumn

[Levi]

Does anyone have any examples of Client-Side Binding with GridTemplateColumn? I have a grid that is linked to a web service. All of my fields update except my template fields. There is a get_cell() that returns a reference to a regular column but not a template one. It almost seems like you have to use all regular columns then manually replace the HTML using javascript. Is there a better way or any examples that might help me? I have lots of places where i have two lines of data in a single field.

Thanks!
Levi

Hello Levi,

When using client-side data-binding and GridTemplateColumn column you have two options to populate template with data:
 - add control in the ItemTemplate with ID same as DataField which should be shown in that column cell
 - listen for RowDataBound client event, find cell in question and populate it manually with data.

I hope this helps.

How can we bind the values manually do you have examples on it,I am stucked with it. I have done as below
Grid design


<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridTask" runat="server" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" AllowAutomaticDeletes="True"
                                AllowAutomaticInserts="False" GridLines="None"  AllowCustomPaging="True" PageSize="5"
                                EnableViewState="false" AllowSorting="true" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand" >
                                 <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False">
                                 <Columns>
                                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn SortExpression="TaskName" DataField="taskName" HeaderText="Link Button Task Name">
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:LinkButton runat="server" id="taskName"></asp:LinkButton>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                 </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>                                 
                                  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="taskId" UniqueName="taskId" HeaderText="Task ID"
                                    EmptyDataText="&amp;nbsp;" SortExpression="taskId">
                                  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                                  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="workFlowTaskId" UniqueName="workFlowTaskId" HeaderText="Workflow Task ID"
                                    EmptyDataText="&amp;nbsp;" SortExpression="workFlowTaskId">
                                  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                                   </Columns>
                                 </MasterTableView>
                                 <ClientSettings>
                                 <ClientEvents OnCommand="RadGridTask_Command" OnRowDataBound ="RowDataBound" />
                                 </ClientSettings>
                          </telerik:RadGrid>

RowDatabound Function code



function RowDataBound(sender,args)
{
debugger;
    var lnkTaskName = args.get_item().findControl("TaskName");
    lnkTaskName.set_value(args.get_dataItem()["taskName"]);

}

I am getting lnkTaskName  as null - I have done the same ways mentioned in the below example

Can you figure out what is wrong
