Use row ID for hyperlink in Kendo Hierarchy Grid

[GenXisT]

Hello, I have this sub-grid.  I'm trying to use the row ID (which appears fine on the actual row) .. but is null when I try to use it in the hyperlink inside a ClientTemplate

Any help?

 

<script id="criticalTopicsTemplate" type="text/kendo-tmpl">
@(Html.Kendo().Grid<DashboardViewModel>()
 .Name("grid_#=TopicID#")
 .Columns(columns =>
 {
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTID); // <-- CTID does appear here and on the grid
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTTitle).Title("CT Name");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTStatus).Title("Status");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTPercentComplete).Title("Percent");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTEnd).Title("Target");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTCertified).Title("Certified");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTOwner).Title("Owner");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CTExecStakeholder).Title("Stakeholder");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.OpenPRs).Title("Open PRs");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.CompletedPRs).Title("Completed PRs");
 columns.Bound(cr => cr.OtherPRs).Title("Other PRs");
 columns.Command(command => command.Custom("Details").Click("showDetails")).Title("Critical Topic Details");
 columns
 .Bound(cr => cr.CTID)
 .Template(@<text></text>)
 .Title("Actions")
 .ClientTemplate("<a href='http://<link-info-here>/DispForm.aspx?ID=#=CTID#' target='_blank' class='k-button link'>View</a>" + // CTID = null
                 "<a href='http://<link-info-here>/EditForm.aspx?ID=#=CTID#' target='_blank' class='k-button link'>Edit</a>");  // CTID = null

 })
 .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
 .Ajax()
 .Read(read => read.Action("GetCriticalTopics", "Hierarchy", new { title = "#=TopicTitle# " }).Data("filterOptions"))
 .PageSize(20)
 )
 .Pageable()
 .Sortable()
 .ClientDetailTemplateId("partnerTemplate")
 .ToClientTemplate()
)
</script>

I fixed it! It was a formatting issue.  New link looks like  this:

.ClientTemplate("<a href='http://<link-info-here>/DispForm.aspx?ID=\\#=CTID\\#' target='_blank' class='k-button link'>View</a>");

Needed to escape the ID.

Hello GenXisT,

You are correct, the # symbols which are part of the template syntax should be escaped in detail templates.
