[Solved] Nested DatePicker

[Corey Goux]

I am trying to nest a Telerik DatePicker control inside a Telerik grid and for some reason, I cannot get the calendar popup to work.  I have tried several different ways of doing this, some have generated errors, but below is best result I have seen so far.  I can easily add the DatePicker control outside of the Telerik grid and everything works just fine.  Are nested controls allowed?  Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Corey

Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.MyObject)
  .Name("MyGrid")
  .Columns(columns =>
  {
    columns.Bound(s => s.MyNo).Title("My #").Width(50);
    columns.Bound(s => s.MyName).Title("My Name");
    columns.Template(s =>
    {%>
       <%= Html.Telerik().DatePicker()
             .Name("MyDatePicker")
             .ShowButton(true) %>
    <%}).Title("My Date Time").Width(160);
    columns.Bound(s => s.MyStatus).Width(50);
    columns.Bound(s => s.MyQuantity).Title("My Qty").Width(60);
    columns.Bound(s => s.MyWeight).Title("My Weight").Width(80);
    columns.Template(s =>
    {
     %>
     <%=Html.Hidden("MyHidden", s.MyId)%>
     <%i++;
    }).Title("").Width(0);
  })
  .Render();

Hello Corey Goux,

The problem is that the name of the datepicker is always the same. This is not supported - the name of every datepicker should be unique. The same goes with the hidden input. An input with the same id will be created for each grid row. I suggest you use display templates for this case - please check the display and editor templates help topic and the associated example. Also check the provided templates in the Views/Shared/EditorTemplates and Views/Grid/DisplayTemplates folder of the sample application.
