[Solved] Issues with special characters in column name

[Murali]

We have a data view that has some coumn names with @ character in one of its column name ( ex:account_primary_id@rn_descriptor). When we try to bind this view in  asp.net mvc grid, it is giving an error. Is this a behaviour? Is there a workaround?

Hello Murali,

Could you please let us know what the error is?

The column member must be a valid C# or VB.NET identifier. account_primary_id@rn_descriptor is not a valid identifier and you won't even be able to have an object with such a property. Do you happen to use a DataTable? If yes - you should change the name of the column. You can just set the Title of the column.

columns.Bound(c => c.ValidName).Title("account_primary_id@rn_descriptor");
