ClientDetailTemplate: 'Invalid template' when using kendo.toString() in ClientTemplate Column

[Malcolm]

Dear KendoUI Team!
I hope you can help me. I got the following problem:
when using kendo.toString to format a number.

The following line inside the ClientDetailTemplate for a grid Column leads to an 'invalid template' error:
(BAD:)
columns.Bound(o => o.Price).Title(Strings.di_Price).ClientTemplate("#= kendo.toString(Price, \"n2\") #");
or
columns.Bound(o => o.Price).Title(Strings.di_Price).ClientTemplate("#= kendo.toString(Price, 'n2') #");

while this is OK:
(GOOD:)
columns.Bound(o => o.Price).Title(Strings.di_Price).ClientTemplate("#= kendo.toString(Price) #");

Here is the line in the model

        [DataType("Number")]
        public decimal Price { get; set; }

But I want to format the column. In the main grid, I can use .toString() like described. But in the ClientDetailTemplate it fails.
What can I do to format the output in ClientDetailTemplate?

Hello Malcolm,

The ClientTemplate string inside template (detail template) must escape the `#` symbols.
This said the column configuration for the detail grid should become:

columns.Bound(o => o.Price).Title(Strings.di_Price)
  .ClientTemplate("\\#= kendo.toString(Price, 'n2') \\#");

Of course the model for the detail grid should have `Price` field.
