Listview template failed to pass string to controller.

[Victor]

can someone tell me why this is not working? I am trying to puss the ID of the video to GetVideoDuration().

<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="template">

   <div class="duration">
        @{string VID = "VID";}
        @VID.Replace("Vimeo_ID", "${VID}")
        @MultimediaController.GetVideoDuration(VID)
    </div>

</script>

Second line display the correct VID on every record. But when  GetVideoDuration() is getting executed the value passed is VID string not the actual number.

multimedia controller.

public static string GetVideoDuration(string VID)
{
            string strDuration = string.Empty;
}

Hello Victor,

The Kendo template is evaluated on the client side, while the used razor invocation is evaluated on the server side instead. This is why the current implementation will not work and should be reconsidered. For example you could construct a ViewModel for the ListView that will include the video duration directly in it, so you could reference it in the template.

Dimiter,

Thanks for responding to me. I have realized it after sometime. I have done it similarly to your suggestion. 

 

Thanks again.
