I'm fairly new to programming and sometimes there is so much information out there but for some reason I'm having the hardest time understanding kendo templates. I'm trying to conditionally check if a value is true or false and then set my columns accordingly. I came across a Telerik article that states you can conditionally check using JavaScript:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/documentation/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/faq

In my model I am using Razor and creating my columns similar to:

@model IEnumerable<MvcApplication1.Models.Product>

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model) // Bind the grid to the Model property of the view
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.ProductID); //Create a column bound to the "ProductID" property
columns.Bound(p => p.ProductName); //Create a column bound to the "ProductName" property
columns.Bound(p => p.UnitPrice); //Create a column bound to the "UnitPrice" property
columns.Bound(p => p.UnitsInStock);//Create a column bound to the "UnitsInStock" property
})
.Pageable() //Enable paging
)

My question is what is the difference between the .Template and .ClientTemplate? Am I still able to use arbitrary JavaScript code in .Template?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

The ClientTemplate is used when the Grid is configured for Ajax binding or when server binding is combined with client-side data
