[Solved] Object EditorTemplate not working with Grid Ajax()

[Jose]

Hello...

Following this article
http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-mvc/grid/custom-popup-editor-form.aspx

I tried to create an Object EditorTemplate for my Grid for Ajax Editing.

The Grid does show the popup with the EditorTemplate, but all the values are null.
Actually a set a step on in the cshtml file and it triggers only once and the model passed in a brand new instance of the object.
i am attaching my cshtml here.
thanks

@model object
@{
    if (Model == null)
    {
    @ViewData.ModelMetadata.NullDisplayText
    }
    else if (ViewData.TemplateInfo.TemplateDepth > 1)
    {
    @ViewData.ModelMetadata.SimpleDisplayText
    }
    else
    {
        using (Html.BeginIFGSection(false, ""))
        {
            foreach (var prop in ViewData.ModelMetadata.Properties.Where(x => x.ShowForDisplay && !ViewData.TemplateInfo.Visited(x)))
            {
                if (prop.HideSurroundingHtml)
                {
                    @Html.Display(prop.PropertyName)
                }
                else
                {
                    @String.Format("{0} | {1} -> ",prop.GetDisplayName(), Html.Display(prop.PropertyName))
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Jose,

I'm afraid that this is a known limitation and such code is not supported during ajax editing.
As you may known when grid is populated through ajax binding, editor templates will be serialized to string templates and then rendered on the client when grid enters edit mode. Therefore, no server code will be executed during the actual template rendering. Another thing you should have in mind is that during their serialization templates will be instantiated and a default instance of the model will be passed. 

The client OnEdit event can be used to modify the content of the edit form.
