Item values in template

[Rob]

To access item values in a template you should, as I understand it, use a construct like:

.Columns(factory => factory.Template(@<text><img title="@item.Receiver" src="/image/information.png"/></text>)

but when doing this I get the compilation error "Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type".

Hi Rob,

You can use something like this to achieve this requirement:

.Columns(columns =>
{
    columns.Bound(c => c.Price).ClientTemplate("<img title='#= data.Price #' src='/image/information.png'/>");

I hope this will prove helpful.

I could, but it's so much more convenient to work with server side code.
Any special reason why the method taking a lambda expression isn't present in the Core version of the framework, as it is in the regular ASP.NET version?

Hello Rob,

With the Core version, the Template is not rendered on the server as mentioned here:
