[Solved] Property Could Not Be Found in Bound Column

[Jim]

Using a Bound column in a grid that uses Ajax data binding, I get several errors like this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

---

The property IBusinessUnit.Value could not be found.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: The property IBusinessUnit.Value could not be found.

The column in question is defined as:
         columns.Bound(pgm => pgm.BusinessUnit.Column.Value).Title("Business Unit");

To get around this problem, I tried using a Template column, but it appears that Template columns aren't supported in grids that use Ajax data binding?  Is there a way to make this work?

Hi Jim,

 You can use a ClientTemplate for ajax binding. See this example.

Kind regards,

It appears that my problem is a result of using interface-based view models.  This looks to be an MVC3 limitation, rather than anything to do with the Telerik grid.

Thanks for your help all the same.
