GridCalculatedColumn Expression Cast. Issue.

[Pierre]

Hi,
I have a simple problem with a GridCalculatedColumn where i want to display the concatenation of a string and a int .
I dont have to filter or anything on it. I just need so text before the int value.

<telerik:GridCalculatedColumn UniqueName="c1" DataFields="myString, myInt"  DataType="System.String" Expression="{0}{1}"></telerik:GridCalculatedColumn>

myString And myInt are from a linq data source.
 I have try the : Expression="{0}Convert({1},'System.String')"

 

If you have any idea on how to do that without having to use databinding event or a Template Item.

Hello Pierre,

If you need to just concatenate two values, maybe the GridCalculatedColumn is not the best solution, although that you should be able to use the following expression for displaying the values:

Expression="{0} + Object({1})"

If no calculations will be made, I would recommend the GridTemplateColumn, where you can define the ItemTemplate as per your requirements:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/columns/column-types#gridtemplatecolumn

Hope this helps.
