ClientTemplate not displaying correctly

[Joe]

I know I've done this before, but for some reason, it's just not working for me today.  What am I missing:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid((IEnumerable<Provider>)ViewData["providers"])
    .Name("providerGrid")
    .Columns(cols =>
    {

        cols.Bound(c => c.ProviderName);
        cols.Bound(c => c.Active).ClientTemplate("#= Active ? 'Yes' : 'No' #");
    })
)

 

See the screen shot I attached, it just shows a disabled checkbox for the field.

Nevermind, I found it.  To use the .ClientTemplate() format I want to use, it has to be an .Ajax() call...

Hello, Joe,

Indeed, the ClientTemplate is available only with Ajax bound Grids. For the server bound Grid the Template property can be used:
