Format a Action Link

[Bob]

We can't seem to figure out how to format a date that we want to be a link. We are able to make the link in the cell, but we can't seem to format the date the way we want it to show.

We are using Ajax binding btw.

Hello Bob,

Generally speaking you can use the $.telerik.formatString utility method to format your date.
e.g.

ClientTemplate("The date is :<#= $.telerik.formatString('{0:dd/MM/yyyy}', yourDateProperty ) #>")

I hope this helps.

Thanks... that works great.

This isn't working for me:

columns.Bound(model => model.DateAdmitted)
			.Template(o => o.DateAdmitted.ToString("d"))
			.ClientTemplate(
				 "<#= $.telerik.formatString('{0:dd/MM/yyyy}', DateAdmitted ) #>"
				);	

I get values looking like:

/Date(-62135578800000)/

Also when I substitute just <#= DateAdmitted #> I get the same results.

Please advise on what I am doing wrong.
