# Access Child Properties in ClientTemplate inside DetailTemplate of Grid

## Environment

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>Product</td>
  <td>Progress® Telerik® UI Grid for ASP.NET MVC</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Operating System</td>
  <td>All</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Browser</td>
  <td>All</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Browser Version</td>
  <td>All</td>
 </tr>
</table>

## Description

When working with a column `ClientTemplate` inside the `DetailTemplate` of the Grid, using the Kendo UI Template `hash` literal notation gives me access to the parent Grid properties but not to the child Grid properties.

How can I access the child Grid properties inside a nested `ClientTemplate`?

## Solution

Escape sharp symbols that are not part of the current template scope. By design, child Grids are able to get the property values of their parents through `ClientTemplates` by using the `#=ParentProperty#` syntax. However, when you call their own property values, use the `\\#=OwnProperty\\#` syntax instead.
