Correct way to access property name in ClientTemplate

[Jaesoon]

I'm trying to add in custom conditions in the ClientTemplate using the guide here http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/faq

I have a checkbox in the child grid which i want to show a cross or a tick depending on the state.

​columns.Bound(o => o.IsChecked).ClientTemplate(

    "# if (IsChecked == true) { #" +
        "<i class='tickButton'></i>" +
    "# } else { #" +
        "<i class='crossButton'></i>" +
    "# } #"
);

 However, doing this, i get the error message "Uncaught ReferenceError: IsChecked is not defined"

 

What is the correct way to get this columns bound value?

Hello Jaesoon,

This is the correct way to bind the column with conditional logic in a template, if the name of the field is IsChecked. A possible reason for the issue could be that the template is used inside a detail Grid, in which case the # symbols which are part of the Kendo UI template syntax should be escaped with double backslash (\\).

Thanks Dimiter, that's exactly what i needed - putting in double backslashes before every instance of #.

 

Thanks again for your help.
