Question

How do I handle null value for columns in the web grid?

I am using the webgrid for displaying the records in a webgrid using MVC3 asp.NET Grid.

  var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model,selectionFieldName:"SelectedRow",rowsPerPage: 10, canPage: true, canSort: true, defaultSort: "Absentee.Name");
     @grid.GetHtml(grid.Column("AbsEnd", "AbsEnd"))

If the AbsEnd is Null. How do I handle this to display a custom string in that column. Like value does not exist.

Sorry not to Mislead you: but this is the way to get it working:

 grid.Column("Absend", format: (item)=> string.IsNullOrEmpty(item.AbsEnd)?string.Empty:item.AbsEnd),

Thanks
