Invalid Template

[Jean-Paul]

I am a newbie to Kendo UI and currently porting from the telerik mvc to Kendo UI for MVC . I have come across a problem when porting my grid from telerik mvc to kendo ui for mvc. I used the detail template approach for nested grids without a problem with telerik mvc , but when trying to port to client templates within kendo I am getting "Invalid Template" error.
 Am I missing something in my initial file includes.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/kendo.common.min.css")">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/kendo.silver.min.css")">
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.min.js")"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo.all.js")"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js")"></script>

Here is a snippet of code that uses a client template
@( Html.Kendo().Grid<DetailCategoryListingGridView>()
.Name("DetailCategoryGrid").
Columns(columns =>{
 columns.Bound(a => a.Value).Title("CategoryValue").Width(200);
columns.Bound(a => a.Comments).Title("Description");
columns.Bound(a => a.ModifiedDate).Title("LastUpdated").Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}").Width(150);
columns.Bound(a => a.ModifiedBy).Title("UpdatedBy").Width(150);
columns.Bound(a => a.DetailCategoryID).Title("UpdatedBy").Width(150);
columns.Command(commands =>
{
commands.Destroy();
commands.Edit();})
.HtmlAttributes(new {style = "text-align:center"});
})

 

 .ClientDetailTemplateId("udfTemplate")
.Pageable().DataSource(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax()
.Read(read=>read.Action("FilteredDetailCategoryBinding", "DetailCategoryAdmin"))
.Create(create=>create.Action("InsertDetailCategory", "DetailCategoryAdmin"))
 .Update(update=>update.Action("UpdateDetailCategory", "DetailCategoryAdmin"))
.Destroy(destroy=>destroy.Action("DeleteDetailCategory", "DetailCategoryAdmin"))
 .Model(model => model.Id(a => a.DetailCategoryID)) .PageSize(15)

 )
 .Sortable()
 .Pageable(page=>page.PageSizes(true))
 //.Events(events => events.DataBound("dataBound")
  )

 

 

<script id="udfTemplate" type="text/kendo-tmpl">

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid<UDFInventoryTemplate>()
.Name("UDFInventoryDetails_#=DetailCategoryID#")
 .Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(o => o.LabelValue);
columns.Bound(o => o.Status);
columns.Bound(o => o.ControlType);
 columns.Bound(o => o.ControlDataValues);
 columns.Bound(o => o.DefaultValue); })
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.Ajax() .Read(read=>read
.Action(
"FilteredUDFDetails", "DetailCategoryAdmin"))

).ToClientTemplate()
)
</script>

Thanks,
Jean-Paul

Hello Jean-Paul,

The code snippet looks OK, but I am afraid it is not enough to detect where the reason for the problem is. Could you please provide a sample runnable project that I can test locally? Thus way I would be able to investigate your case in details and do my best to provide you with an accurate solution. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
