Nullable column template

[Justin Lee]

Kendo Q3 2015, asp.net mvc 

 I have the scenario where I'm binding columns to nullable objects.  I'm using the client template, and have a little html to add if the value is not null.

I've simplied my code here.  "ChildObject" is a property that can be null.  If it is null, show nothing.  If it is not null, show ChildObject.Name (in some custom html)

columns.Bound(c => c.ChildObject.Name)
.Title("Some Column")
.ClientTemplate(
"#= (ChildObject == null) ? ' ' : '<div>' + ChildObject.Name + '</div>' #"
)
.Width(100);

This code throws the invalid template error.  If I remove the '+'s, it works fine. Example:  '<div>Hello</div>' works, however that wouldn't allow me to add databound text. 

Thanks

Hi Justin,

Try this:

"# if (ChildObject != null) { #" +
"<div>#= ChildObject.Name #</div>" +
"#} else {#" +
"<div>None</div>" +
"# } #"
