[Solved] Template with ajax binding

[Julien]

Hi,

I want to have ajax binding and template.

I saw that: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/razor/grid/templatesclientside 

But I don't understand the synthax. Why should I use aspx tags since I'm with the razor engine?

Can I have a conditional display(e.g. having date coming in red if the date is already past?)

I cannot see where you're seeing this aspx tag.
Regarding the conditionnal display, you can use the conditional formatting
However, this last one is available only in server binding mode.

Why is this usable only in server binding mode? In server binding mode we can already use conditional formating in template, we don't need this. So how should I do a thing as basic than putting in red some fields on ajax binding mode?

Hi,

 Those are not ASPX tags. Those a client-side template expressions which are Telerik specific.

Here is how to make some fields red

columns.Bound(o => o.OrderID).ClientTemplate("<span style='color:red'><#= OrderID #></span>");

Ok thank you, do you have a reference somewhere for those tags?

But like this I will have everytime the field in red.

How to have by example your OrderID appearing in red, if it has 0 as value?

Hi,

 Here is a link to the documentation. You can make conditional coloring by using a JavaScript function in the template

columns.Bound(o => o.OrderID).ClientTemplate("<#= template(data) #>");


<script>
    function template(dataRow) {
        if (dataRow.OrderID == 0) {
              return "<span style='color:red'>" + dataRow.OrderID + "</span>";
        }

         return "<span style='color:blue'>" + dataRow.OrderID + "</span>"; 
    }
</script>

All the best,

Thank you Atanas,
That's really great and I just discovered we can use a function in the template the way you mentioned.
However, I am wondering from where come this value data
Shouldn't be dataItem only?
