How to use Different Templates For Edit and Create Operations

[Nurali]

I am using Kendo Grid for Edit,Update,Delete user Informations.

I want to use different templates for edit and create opetation.
Currently:

.TemplateName("EditPerson"))

With this  i created a  view file(name is EditPerson.cshtml) under "EditorTemplates" folder.
i want to use another template for Create Operations.How can i do it?

Hello Nurali,


It is not possible to define a separate template for the Create operation, but I would suggest you an alternative solution. You could add custom classes to the editor fields for the edit and for the create operations or even wrap them in separate elements in the editor template.
E.g.

<div class="forEdit"> ... </div>
<div class="forCreate"> ... </div>

Then you should bind to the edit event of the Grid, determine whether the current operation is create or update and remove the elements that are not needed.
E.g.

.Events(e => e.Edit("Edit"))

function Edit(e) {
    if (e.model.isNew()) {
        $(".forEdit").remove();
    } else {
        $(".forCreate").remove();
    }
}

I hope this approach will work in the current case. I wish you a great day!
