get item from kendo child grid

[Vasiliy]

Having Hierarchy grid, trying to add custom client template with <a href> and item with it. But, don't know how can i get child item. For ex. on parent grid i'm getting item like: 

    .Columns(columns =>
              {
                  columns.Template(e => { }).ClientTemplate("<strong><a  href='" + Url.Action("Details", "Types") + "#= Id #'> #= Name #  </a></strong>").Title("Type Name").Width("30%");

How can I make this the same for child grid? 

    .Name("grid_#=Id#")
                .Columns(columns =>
                {
                    columns.Bound(e => e.Name).Title("SubType Name").ClientTemplate("<a href='" + Url.Action("Details", "Types") + "#= e.data.Id #'>#= e.data.Name #</a>");

If I will use like: `#= data.Name #` it will display parent data.

Hi Vasiliy,

Yes, you will need to use escaping logic for the inner grid:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/templates/overview#inline-vs-external-templates

Condition:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/faq#how-to-apply-conditional-logic-in-column-client-templates

This is for master value, for example FirstName:

Copy Code

columns.Bound(o => o.OrderID).ClientTemplate(
     "# if (ProductName != null) { #" +
         "#: ProductName #" +
     "# } else { #" +
         "Error" +
     "# } #");

If you want to use the detail value, however, you will need to use the approach below:

Copy Code

columns.Bound(o => o.ShipName).ClientTemplate(
    "\\#: getShipName(ShipName) \\#"
    );

JavaScript:

Copy Code

function getShipName(shipName) {
    if (shipName != null) {
        return shipName;
    }
    else {
        return "error";
    }
}

I hope this will prove helpful.
