Hi,

I am trying to call a Html extension helper method  'GetUserFormattedId' from the client template of  a ajax bound grid column. I am trying the format a value of the column.

I am unable to get it working. Is it allowed to call extension methods in this way? Please advise. 

@{
          Html.Kendo().Grid<InvoiceSummaryDto>()
          .Name("invoiceAccountingGrid")
          .Columns(columns =>
          {
              columns.Bound(l => l.Id).ClientTemplate("<a href='" + @Url.Action("Details", "Invoice", new { area = "Accounting" }) + "/#= Id #'" + ">" + @Html.GetUserFormattedId(@"#= Id #") + "</a>").Title("ID");
              columns.Bound(l => l.ItemsDescription).Title("Description");
                    
          })

Hi Uday,


The Html helper cannot be used this way. The reason for this is that it is evaluated on the server side, while the client template is evaluated later on the client side, when the data is bound. This means that the Id value cannot be passed for formatting.

Hi Dimiter,

It makes sense now. I ended up writing a Javascript for the same so that it can evaluated on the client side.

Thanks for your time.
