Using external template with ASP.Net MVC helper

[Kent]

Is there a way to use an external kendo template when using the ASP.Net MVC grid helper?


Here's my template:

<script id="javascriptTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">

    var isToday = true;

 

    #if(isToday){#

        // show time only e.g. 1:04 PM

    #}else{#

        // show date and time e.g. 02/06/2013 1:04 PM

    #}#

</script>

And I want to use that template in my grid:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<SiteItem>()

      .Name( "sitesgrid" )

      .Columns( columns =>

                    {

                        columns.Bound( s => s.LastReport ).ClientTemplate( "javascriptTemplate" );

                    }

      )

      .DataSource( ds => ds

                             .Ajax().Read( "SitesGrid", "Dashboard" )

                             .PageSize( 10 )

                             .Sort( sort => sort.Add( p => p.SiteName ) )

      )

      .Pageable( pager => pager

                              .Messages( messages => messages.Display( "{0} - {1} of {2} sites" ) )

      )

      .Filterable()

      .Sortable()

      .Selectable()

      .ColumnMenu()

      .Events( events => events.Change( "onSitesGridSelect" ) )

      .Events( events => events.DataBound( "onGridDatabound" ) )

      )

Is this possible? With the pasted code, it simply outputs the word "javascriptTemplate"
