Missing Server-Bound Template

[JamesD]

Hello,

 

In old Kendo.Mvc I was using following method to generate sever side Template for column.

Now I'm migrating project to ASP Net Core and this method is missing, is it moved to somewhere else?

public virtual GridTemplateColumnBuilder<TModel> Template( Func<TModel, object> template );

 

columns.Template( c => @Html.ActionLink( c[column_name].ToString(), "actionName",
            new { encrypted_id = Shared.EncryptId( c[column_id] ) } )
            .ToHtmlString() ).Title( "Column Title" );

Hi James,

Thank you for the code snippets and details provided.

In order to achieve the desired behavior, I would recommend using the "ClientTemplate" functionality. The following article demonstrates different ways of its implementation and usability:

• https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/html-helpers/data-management/grid/templates/column-templates

Give a try to the approach above and let me know if further assistance is needed.

Hi, yes I already started using this approach, but it is a client side, and I cannot call any C# functions in ClientTemplate.

So i will just try to avoid it.

 

Thank you

Hi James,

In order to use the Controller Actions, I would recommend using a function in the Template. A similar approach is shown in the last example of this article.

In the function handler, use an Ajax request to achieve the desired behavior.

I hope this information helps.
