[Solved] My DetailView is empty...

[Jerry]

I want a grid with three main columns and the rest of the data in the detail view.  I created  adetail view with a table displaying everything and I got nothing.  So I slimmed it down figuring to determine where I screwed up...  But even with this simple ClientTemplate I get empty detail views:

@(Html.Telerik().Grid<DisplayAssetEntryViewModel>()
    .Name("AssetGrid")
    .BindTo(@Model.AssetEntries)
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(c => c.AssetClass).Width(200);
        columns.Bound(c => c.AssetSector).Width(200);
        columns.Bound(c => c.Description);
    })
    .DetailView(detailView => detailView.ClientTemplate("<#= Shares #>"))
    .Scrollable()
)

The data in the grid is fine.  Only the detail view is empty.  How do I troubleshoot this?  Thanks.

Hello Jerry,

When server binding is used as in your case, you should declare a server Template instead of ClientTemplate.

Perfect...  Got that working.  Is it possible to format data in a client template?

"<td class="t-last"><#= Cost #></td>"

If I wanted the Cost, in the snip above, to be formatted as a dollar amount, can that be done in the client template?
Thanks.

Hi Jerry,

You may use telerik.formatString method to apply  formatting:

<#= $.telerik.formatString('{0:c}', Cost) #>

Thanks!  Where do I find documentation for this and other available function calls?  Searching the online documentation only finds references to calls like this as part of small examples, no documentation of the function call itself.

Thanks.

Hi Jerry,

I'm afraid that the method in question is not currently documented. Please excuse us for the inconvenience.

Do the format string specifiers map to standard javascript specifiers? 

Thanks.

Hello Jerry,

Could you please elaborate more on what you mean by "standard javascript specifiers"? The supported formats have close resemblance to the ones used in .NET framework.

All the best,
