Conditional bound column

[Tomer]

 Hi,

I am trying to add conditional to bound column on GRID. I saw an example that you showed on conditional column in the past and it didn't help me. In my code It only entered to one conditional only. 
It is Boolean column. for example If I have two rows with one value that is: true and the other is false, I will get to true and It will not entered into the else condition.

Here is my code:

@(Html.Telerik().Grid<CRC.Models.CRC_DB_IsConnected>()

                            .Name("Grid")

                            .Columns(columns =>

                                {

                                    columns.Bound(o => o.Name).Width(200);

                                    columns.Bound(o => o.IsConnected).Width(200);

                                    columns.Bound(o => o.IsConnected).ClientTemplate("<# if( item.IsConnected == true) { #> <img width='16' height='16' alt='Connected' src='" + Url.Content("~/Content/Images/buttonCircle_blank_green.png") + "' /> <# } else {#> <img width='16' height='16' alt='Not Connected' src='" + Url.Content("~/Content/Images/buttonCircle_blank_red.png") + "' /> <# } #>").Title("Is Connected");                                   

                                   

                                })

                                .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("_AjaxBinding", "Home"))

                                    .Pageable()

                                    .Sortable()

                                    .Scrollable()

                                    .Groupable()

                                    .Filterable()

                                    )

Hello Tomer,

Looking at the code snippet you have provided there seems to be few issue with the template you have declared.

 - The template code blocks syntax is not correct. Kendo template does use #=# instead of <#=#>. More details about KendoUI template can be found in our online documentation.
 - There is no item variable in the context of the template. 

Thus, the template should look similar to the following:

"# if( IsConnected == true) { # <img ... /> # } else {# <img ... /> # } #"

Since this took me a bit of trial and error to figure out I thought I'd share.  To do a conditional with say flagred.gif if itemCount is 0 else itemCount, the syntax is like so:   

"# if( itemCount === 0) { # <img src='images/flagred.gif' /> # } else {#<span>#:itemCount#<span>#} #"

Gary thank you very much, I could barely find documentation on this. Your post has helped a lot.
Thanx again
