When setting the GroupByExpression property for a template column I would like to declaratively assign the field alias to a resource so that it is localized.
My current expression is:
| <telerik:GridTemplateColumn |
| GroupByExpression="FieldName AliasName Group By FieldName asc" |
How can I replace 'AliasName' so that it uses <%$ Resources:Grid, AliasName%> ?
I don't want an initial grouping state so have not set the GroupByExpressions property for the MasterTableView.

Hello Slam,
You can use the ResourceManager and set the AliasName resource string in code-behind or use the same declarative approach (using predefined groups).

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply.
My current (successful) approach for localizing the group field alias is in the code behind - handling the Groups Changing event and using the resource manager to set the alias name. However I was hoping to avoid doing this by declaratively setting the alias in the aspx file. Also, I do not want a predefined grouping on my page. I want the user to determine when the group is displayed.
Am I correct in using the Groups Changing event, as shown below, or is there a better approach?
Thanks.

| { |

| } |

Hello Slam,
My opinion is that your approach is excellent. Unfortunately it is not possible to localize the field alias declaratively. I believe you already found the best way to achieve the desired functionality.
