[Solved] Column Encoding with Ajax Binding

[Galina]

Dear customer support,

According to the Grid documentation the contents of every column is html encoded by default which should be the same if .Encode(true) is used.

I am using Ajax binding and the column contents is never encoded.
When I switch to Server binding the column contents is encoded.

Telerik.Web.Mvc.dll is version 2010.1.309 for MVC 2.

Is html encoding supported by Server binding only or there is something I can do to get it working for Ajax as well?

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Galina

Hello Galina,

Yes, for the time being encoding is supported only in server binding mode. Until we implement that in ajax binding you can use a workaround via client templates:

<script type="text/javascript">

function encode(value) {
    return value.replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
                .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
                .replace(/>/g, '&gt;');
}

</script>

<%= Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Grid")
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(o => o.ContactName).Width(200).ClientTemplate("<#= encode(ContactName)#>");
        })
$%>
