[Solved] Resources for row items

[Ofer]

Hi,
When i try to replace a value of a grid item with a resource string:

columns.Bound(a => Activities.ResourceManager.GetString(a.ActivityName.ToString())).Title(

 

"Activity");

(a.ActivityName contains a resource key)
I get:
"Bound columns require a field or property access expression"

Any idea?

Hello Alonav,

The exception says it all - the grid supports only member expressions for bound column definition. You can instead set the template of the column:

columns.Bound(a => a.ActivityName).Template(a =>
{
%>
      <%= Activities.ResourceManager.GetString(a.ActivityName.ToString())) %>
<%
});

I alreadt tried that. please see my full code- it's with ajax binding (& Razor):

Html.Telerik().Grid<

 

Activity>().Name("TrackActivitiesGrid")

.DataKeys(a => a.Add(

 

"ActivityId"))

.Columns(columns =>

{

columns.Bound(a => a.CreatedUTC).Format(

 

"{0:M.dd.yyyy @ hh:mm}").Title("Date/Time");

columns.Bound(a => a.ActivityName).Title(

 

"Activity").Template(a => { Activities.ResourceManager.GetString(a.ActivityName); });

columns.Bound(a => a.UserFirstName).Title(

 

"User")

.ClientTemplate(

 

"<div class='vtip' title='User Name: <#= UserName #>'><#= UserFirstName #> <#= UserLastName #></div>");

columns.Bound(a => a.UnitCount).Title(

 

"# Units");

columns.Bound(a => (a.InProgressCount)).Title(

 

"Progress")

.ClientTemplate(

 

"<div>" +

 

"<#= CanceledCount #>, " +

 

"<#= CompletedCount #>, " +

 

"<#= FaultedCount #>, " +

 

"<#= InProgressCount #>, " +

 

"<#= NoneCount #>, " +

 

"<#= OverriddenCount #>" +

 

"</div>");

columns.Bound(a => a.ActivityID).Title(

 

"").Width(80).Sortable(false)

.ClientTemplate(

 

"<div>" +

 

"<div class='cancel-activity fleft' title='Cancel' data-activity-id='<#= ActivityID #>' data-completed-count='<#= CompletedCount #>' data-service-url='TrackActivities/CancelActivity'></div>" +

 

"<a href='/ActivitiesDrillDown/ActivityChanges?activityId=<#= ActivityID #>' ><div class='activity-drill-down fright' title='View activity changes'></div></a>" +

 

"</div>");

})

.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select(

 

"_PageOnScroll", "TrackActivities"))

.ClientEvents(events => events.OnLoad(

 

"TrackActivities.onGridLoad"))

.Sortable(sorting => sorting

.SortMode(

 

GridSortMode.MultipleColumn)

)

.Pageable(paging => paging.Style(

 

GridPagerStyles.Status)

.PageOnScroll(

 

true))

.Render();

The above leads to another exception:
Cannot use only server templates in Ajax or WebService binding mode. Please specify a client template as well

Hi Alonav,

 I am afraid this won't work for ajax binding. There is no way to access server side localization objects from client-side. As a workaround I can suggest to localize the properties before sending them to the grid in your Select action method. The other option is to use server binding.
