Template column in grid

[Cornel]

Hi,

In Kendo for Asp.Net (Not Core) I was using to have something like:

c.Template(@<text></text>).ClientTemplate("<a ...... ></a>")

And in ClientTemplate I had an Url.Action.

 

Now, in Asp.Net Core I cannot do this, as the Template property was changed. If I put the same thing I will have the error: Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type.

 

Could you please help me to find a solution?

Thanks,

Cornel.

Finally I did like this:

 

c.Bound("").ClientTemplate(@Html.ActionLink(...).ToHtmlString())

 

Where ToHtmlString() is an extension for IHtmlContent class. 

And now it works!

Thanks,

Cornel.

In which version did you achieve this, netcore 2.0?. How did you access the .ToHtmlString() extension?

Thanks, 

Martin

Hi Martin,

It's AspNetCore version 2.0.2. And this is the implementation of the .ToHtmlString() extension:

 

public static string ToHtmlString(this IHtmlContent content)
{
            var writer = new System.IO.StringWriter();
            content.WriteTo(writer, System.Text.Encodings.Web.HtmlEncoder.Default);
            return writer.ToString();
}

 

Regards,

Cornel.
