Adding a % sign to a percentage in Kendo NumericTextBox
Trying to add a % sign to a number in a Kendo NumericTextBox. They suggest escaping the % sign as such:
$("#numeric").kendoNumericTextBox({
format: "# \%"
});
but when I give it a value of 3, it still gives me 300%!
From the Kendo documentation:
"%" - percentage placeholder Multiplies a number by 100 and inserts a localized percentage symbol in the result string. Note: '%' symbol is interpreted as a format specifier in the format string. If you need to prevent this, you will need to precede the '%' symbol with a backslash -
'kendo.toString(12, "# \%")'-> 12 % (en-us).

I was working in a column of a grid in a .cshtml file and for me the following is working:
Format("{0:#.## \\'%'}");
notice the two single quotes arround the % sign.
