External Hyperlink In Cell

[Kenneth Lam]

Hello, 

Is it possible to create a hyperlink to a website inside of a grid cell in Essential Grid for Asp.net MVC?  The actual url of the link will be based off of the data bound from the table's data source.

Hi Kenneth Lam,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products

Your requirement of having hyperlink in a column can be achieved by handling QueryCellInfo event. We must handle QueryCellInfo event during paging action also. Please refer to the code-snippet below.

[ASPX]

<%=Html.Syncfusion().Grid<hyperlink.Models.Order>("FlatGrid")
.Datasource(Model)
.EnablePaging()
.EnableSorting()
…
…
.QueryCellInfo(
cell => Html.RenderAction("onQueryCellAction", "Home", new { args = cell })
)

%>



[Controller-CS]

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Index(PagingParams args)
{

IEnumerable data = new NorthwindDataContext().Orders.Take(200);
var engine = data.GridActions<Order>() as GridHtmlActionResult<Order>;
engine.GridModel.QueryCellInfo = onQueryCellAction;
return engine;
}


public void onQueryCellAction(GridTableCell<Order> args)
{
if (args.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell || args.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell)
{
if (args.Column.MappingName == "ShipCountry")
{
args.Text = "" + args.Data.ShipCountry + "";

}
}
}
