I have the following legacy code that I would like to mimic, with all action links inside one column. However, I can't seem to get the Razor syntax right. How should I express this in Razor?
The ASPX column template is like this:
.Columns(column =>
{
column.Template(o =>
{%>
<%= Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new{ id = o.DeviceID}) %> |
<%= Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = o.DeviceID })%>
<%});
I have only been able to get three separate columns using Razor without complaints about syntax etc. as below:
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Template(o => @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = o.ProductId })).Width(50);
columns.Template(o => @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = o.ProductId })).Width(50);
columns.Template(o => @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = o.ProductId })).Width(50);
How can I define one template column that contains all three action links using Razor syntax?
EDIT: In trying the following small adaptation of Mike's answer below, I get the error "Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement":
columns.Template(o => @<text>@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = o.CampaignId }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = o.CampaignId })
</text>).Width(100);
Here is a quick sample showing both bound columns and a template column:
Sample #1 using @<text></text>
syntax
@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(m => m.UserName);
columns.Bound(m => m.Email);
columns.Template(@<text> @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.UserId} ) |
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.UserId)
</text>).Width(100);
})
)
Sample #2 using an Action delegate
@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
.Name("Grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(m => m.UserName);
columns.Bound(m => m.Email);
columns.Template(m => @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = m.UserId} ) + " | " +
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = m.UserId)
).Width(100);
})
)
Hope that helps, if didn't already figure it out. :)
UPDATE - added the implicitly defined "item" parameter in code sample above. It shows how to get the Model properties within the Telerik control template.
UPDATE#2 - korchev showed the "@item.someProperty" syntax within his code sample. The @ symbol is not needed in our case since we are within an extension method, but doesn't hurt to leave it for clarity.
UPDATE#3 - added Sample #2 code sample
