ListView Template trying to add a partial View

[Manoj]

I am trying to use a Partial View as a Template for  the listView.  

are there any exapmples?  

The Template gives an error.

If I try to create a Script is does not pass ITEM that is in a loop in the listview.  

<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="template">
            <div class="item-box">
                @Html.Partial("_ProductBox", item)
            </div>
</script>



  @(Html.Kendo().ListView<ProductOverviewModel>(Model.Products)
    .Name("listView")
    .TagName("div")
    .ClientTemplate(@<text><div class="item-box">
                @Html.Partial("_ProductBox", item)
            </div></text>))
    //.ClientTemplateId("template")
    .DataSource(dataSource => {
    dataSource.Read(read => read.Action("HomepageProducts", "Catalog"));
        dataSource.PageSize(12);
        
    })
    .Pageable()        
)

Hello,

ClientTemplate value is string after all - you do not need such @<text></text> tags. 

I suggest you to also look at this topic from the documentation. 

http://docs.kendoui.com/howto/load-templates-external-files


Or probably you are trying to achieve the following:

.ClientTemplate(Html.Partial("PartialName").ToHtmlString())

you do not need to pass any item variable at all - the client expressions inside of the Partial view such as #= # will still work as expected because this template is used on the client.

Thanks for reply.  

Here is what I am trying to do.

I want to create a ListView with the Template being a Partial View. 

1)  My instance of ListView says .ClientTemplate does not exist.  I have the latest bits.. Am I missing something? it allows .ClientTemplateId
2)  In my loop in the view I need to pass an OBJECT not the  Value.  "item" is this case consists of multiple properties of the product which the partial view will render.  

Listview.

@(Html.Kendo().ListView<ProductOverviewModel>(Model.Products)
    .Name("listView")
    .TagName("div")
    .ClientTemplate(Html.Partial("_ProductBox", item).ToHtmlString())
    .DataSource(dataSource =>
    {
        dataSource.Read(read => read.Action("HomepageProducts", "Catalog"));
        dataSource.PageSize(3);
    })
    .Pageable()
)


My Current Code that works without Kendo Listview.  I am trying to achieve this using Kendo Listview.

{
        @(Html.DataList<ProductOverviewModel>(Model.Products, 5,
            @<div class="item-box">
                @Html.Partial("_ProductBox", item)
            </div>
                ))
        }

Hi,

Basically the ListView uses only ClientTemplates you cannot execute C# code in them.

Could you share a sample project so we can see what exactly is the setup?
