[Solved] Display/Edit Template

[El Roy]

I followed the example in http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/Grid/DisplayAndEditTemplates.  But
instead of Server binding I am using Ajax binding.  I notice that on edit mode the model gets NULL
in the .ASCX user control, am I missing something?

Hi El Roy,

This is actually normal. The Model is server side property whilst client templates operate on the client-side and have no notion of what model is. For ajax binding we suggest using client-side templates and the onRowDataBound client-side event.

Hi Atanas,

Can you please provide an example of Grid Ajax binding client-side templates and the onRowDataBound client-side event to pre-select  the value of drop down.

Like below code snippet on how you you implement for Server binding.
@(Html.Telerik().DropDownList()
            .Name(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(string.Empty))
            .BindTo(new SelectList((IEnumerable)Proficiency.ListOfProficiency, "Id", "Name", Model.Id.ToString())))

As you mentioned with Ajax binding Model is always null, as Model is server side property.

Regards,
Ammar

Hello Ammar,

 Should be something like this:


function onRowDataBound(e) {
      var dropdown = $(e.row).find(".t-dropdown input").data("tDropDownList")

      dropdown.value(e.dataItem.SomeValue);
}

Kind regards,
