Use @<text> syntax in a Template in VB

[YY]

I've seen scattered throughout the Kendo docs examples of using @<text> for template methods.  For example in this SO question it's used both inside a Content call on a TabStrip and in a Template call on a Grid Column.

In VB however, this does not seem to work:

        @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Of MyModel) _
            .Columns(Sub(config)
                         config.Template(@<text>
                                             <b>Test rendering inline markup</b>
                                         </text>)
                     End Sub)
        )

Hi Byron,

Please refer to

Dimo,

 As Byron said - it doesn't work. I too have the same problem. Answering a question by linking to documentation that doesn't work doesn't solve the problem.

 

Byron, were you able to resolve this issue?

Byron, 

 I was able to get it to work using the following syntax.

c.Template(Function(f)
     Return "<a href='" & Url.Action("EditUser") & "=" & f.UserID & "'>Edit User</a>"
End Function)

 

Hope that helps

Bless you Alex!  I'm stuck with a legacy VB.NET site now with MVC and Telerik.  I've had the hardest time with the lambda stuff for VB and have been looking for how to do the template stuff.  The Telerik documentation has helped some, but I have been struggling with the toolbar template.  Thank you so much for posting this.
