RowTemplates?

[Sandy]

Hi,

I am just wondering how i can use Kendo.UI MVC Grid to create a custom row template. I can see that it is possible in the Telerik.MVC Grid (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/razor/grid/clientrowtemplate), but can only see column template support in Kendo.

Am i missing something, or is feature possible?

Thanks.

Hi Sandy,

Yes currently the Grid wrapper does not support RowTemplates, however we are working to provide such functionality.

A year has gone by, is this now supported? It seems that it is supported since it's part of the API. I'm currently trying to implement it but running into a problem where I can't make the template span across all columns. Is there a way to do this with MVC Wrappers? 

I would expect the following code to create rows that span columns, but instead each data cell contains the rendered template. Thanks!

    Dim gridBuilder As GridBuilder(Of time_card) = _
        Html.Kendo().Grid(Of time_card)().Name("TimecardGrid")
    gridBuilder.DataSource(Function(c As DataSourceBuilder(Of time_card)) c.Ajax().Read(Function(r) r.Action("Cards_Read", "Home")))
    gridBuilder.Columns(Function(columns As GridColumnFactory(Of time_card)) columns.Bound(Function(o) o.tc_date))
    gridBuilder.Columns(Function(columns As GridColumnFactory(Of time_card)) columns.Bound(Function(o) o.tc_index))
    gridBuilder.Columns(Function(columns As GridColumnFactory(Of time_card)) columns.Bound(Function(o) o.billed_hours))
    gridBuilder.ClientRowTemplate("<tr><td rowspan='3'>#= tc_date #<br/>#= billed_hours #</td></tr>")
    gridBuilder.Sortable()
    gridBuilder.Pageable()
    gridBuilder.Render()

Hello Sandy,

To make the cell span across multiple columns you need to specify the colspan property to be equal to three, not the rowspan property.
