[Solved] hyperlink display name but pass ID

[Paul]

In my customer grid, I am interested in having the customer name as the hyperlink, but then pass the ID to open the edit window.  Here is my code so far using ElementAt that always opens record#1, but I was wondering I could get the current ElementAt or some other way to do this:

columns.Bound(c => c.CName).Width(165)
                        .Encoded(false)
                        .Format(Html.ActionLink("{0}", "Edit", new { id = Model.ElementAt(1).CustomerID }).ToHtmlString());

Thanks
Paul

columns.Bound(c => c.CName).Width(165)
                        .Encoded(false)

     .Template(@Html.ActionLink(item.Name, @"Edit", @"Customer", new { id = item.CustomerID }, null)
     .ClientTemplate(Html.ActionLink(<#=CName #>", "Edit", "Customer", new { id = <#=CustomerID #>" }, null).ToHtmlString()

Thanks for the reply nachid:  I am rather new to this and need just a bit more clarification.  The .Template and .ClientTemplate are both complaining of the "item." being an unknown entity.  I tried c. but that is also an unknown entity in that position. I also am having trouble getting the closing parentheses in the right position. 

columns.Bound(c => c.CName).Width(165)

     .Template(@Html.ActionLink(item.Name, @"Edit", @"Customer", new { id = item.CustomerID }, null)
     .ClientTemplate(Html.ActionLink(<#=CName #>", "Edit", "Customer", new { id = <#=CustomerID #>" }, null).ToHtmlString()
