Question

Is it possible to use a Template and a ClientTemplate at the same time?

I want to do a bool check in the Template but don’t know how to pass it to the checkbox in the ClientTemplate when there is no binding.

    @(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.Item)
     .Name("Grid")
     .Columns(column =>
       column.Template(x => x.ItemId.Equals(Model.Id))
             .ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' checked='<#=????? #>' disabled />");
    })

Maybe there’s another way to achieve this?

Answer 1

For this particular case, you don’t have to use Template. You can use the embedded databound functionality (as mentioned by Daniel) of the ClientTemplate to achieve what you want,

@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.Item)
  .Name("Grid")
  .Columns(column =>
    column.ClientTemplate("<input type='checkbox' checked='<#=ItemId == " + Model.Id + "#>' disabled />");
})

This way you passed the variable Model.Id from the server, while the actual comparison is down using Javascript at the client side.
