How to render "&" in Grid column

[Philip]

In my data source, one of the columns is a string data type and contains the "&" in the text. When the grid renders, it's translating those "&"s to &

How can I prevent this from happening? I'm binding to a local data source and I have a schema defined:

dataSource: {

    data:

    [

        @foreach (var report in Model.Reports)

        {

            <text>{Id: "@report.Id", ReportId: "@report.ReportId", ReportSample: "@report.ReportSample", ReportLegend: "@report.ReportLegend", ReportFaq: "@report.ReportFaq", ReportName: "@report.ReportName"}, </text>

        }

    ],

    schema: {

        model: {

            fields: {

                Id: { type: "number" },

                ReportId: { type: "string" },

                ReportSample: { type: "string" },

                ReportLegend: { type: "string" },

                ReportFaq: { type: "string" },

                ReportName: { type: "string" }

            }

        }

    }

}

Is there possibly a way in the column definition to tell it to render those "&"s as actual "&"s?

Thanks

Hi Philip,

In order not to encode the data shown in particular grid column, you should set encoded options to the column to false:

$("#grid").kendoGrid({
    dataSource: {
        data: dataSource
    },
    columns: [ {
            field: "foo",
            width: 90,
            encoded:false
        }]
});

All the best,

Thanks Rosen,

I didn't see that option in the demos on the Configuration tab, but it works great!
