Question

my TemplateColumn In RadGrid (Telerik) is like below :

                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter TemplateColumn_Benefit"
                        HeaderText="Benefit" UniqueName="TemplateColumn_Benefit" FilterImageToolTip="Filter">
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="lblBenefitInsideGrd" runat="server" Font-Size="11px" Text='<%# (bool)Convert.IsDBNull(Eval("Benefit")) ? "<span class=\"lblInsideGrd\">Empty</span>" : String.Format("{0:#,0 Dollar;#,0- Dollar}", Eval("Benefit")) %>'></asp:Label>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" Width="60px" />
                        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" Width="60px" />

You have to add the DataField=”Benefit” to the GridTemplateColumn.

               <telerik:GridTemplateColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter TemplateColumn_Benefit" DataField="Benefit"
                    HeaderText="Benefit" UniqueName="TemplateColumn_Benefit" FilterImageToolTip="Filter">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="lblBenefitInsideGrd" runat="server" Font-Size="11px" Text='<%# (bool)Convert.IsDBNull(Eval("Benefit")) ? "<span class=\"lblInsideGrd\">Empty</span>" : String.Format("{0:#,0 Dollar;#,0- Dollar}", Eval("Benefit")) %>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" Width="60px" />
                    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" Width="60px" />
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
