Custom Formatting Grid Columns

[Jeremy Coenen]

I am trying to change the ClientTemplate for a column based on the data in the row, but am unable to figure out how to do this.  Here is the sample code that I am trying to use for an AJAX bound grid.

<%: Html.Telerik().Grid<TelerikBugs.Models.Employee>()
           .Name("Employees")
          .Columns(columns =>
            {
              columns.Bound(o => o.EmployeeName).ClientTemplate("<ul><li>EmployeeId: <#= EmployeeId #></li><li>EmployeeName: <#=EmployeeName#></li></ul>") ;
              columns.Bound(o => o.ManagerEmployeeId);
              columns.Bound(o => o.EmployeeId)
                 .ClientTemplate("I want to change this value")
                                 .Width(500)
                                 .HeaderHtmlAttributes("visible='false'")
                                 .Title("Employee");
            })
            .CellAction(cell =>
               {
                 if (cell.Column.Member == "EmployeeId")
                 {
                   var employee = cell.DataItem;
                   if (employee.EmployeeId == 1)
                   {
                     cell.Column.ClientTemplate = "EmployeeId is #1 do #1 formatting here";
                   }
                   else
                   {
                     cell.Column.ClientTemplate = "EmployeeId is NOT #1 other formatting here";
                   }

                 }
               })
          .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("GetEmployees", "Home"))
%>

Hello Jeremy Coenen,

 You can embed conditional logic in the client template like this:

.ClientTemplate("<# if (EmployeeId == 1) { #> EmployeeId is 1 <# } else { #> EmployeeId is not 1 <# } #>");

I am having trouble with this Client Temple column, is there a syntax error? It returns an empty cell, which is ok for if(<#= hold #> == 'N'

.ClientTemplate(

 

"<# if(<#= hold #> == 'Y') {#><img alt='OnHold'src='../../Content/Images/StopHoldY.gif'></img><# } #>")

Thanks Dan
