Grid loses link on sorting

[Eric Swann]

On my grid, I have basic link to an edit page as suggested in your "CRUD" example. However, as soon as I sort a column, all the links disappear and the text appears unformatted. How can the link state be maintained on sorting?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for evaluating Syncfusion products.

The Grid HTML content is replaced internally after the Sorting.
So only edit link not available after the sorting.

You can handle QueryCellInfoEvent in pagingsortingMapper Action method and the link has to be appended to the cell value

Please refer the following code snippet:

[C#]
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult SortingAction()
{
IEnumerable data = new StudentDataContext().Student;
ActionResult result = data.GridActions();
GridHtmlActionResult engineSource = result as GridHtmlActionResult;
engineSource.GridModel.QueryCellInfo += (sender, args) =>
{
if (args.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell || args.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell)
{
/// Edit link is applied in Title column
if (args.TableCellIdentity.Column.MappingName.Equals("ID"))
{
/// Hyperlink is appended inside the cell value
args.Style.CellValue =+ args.Style.CellValue;

}
}
};

return result;
}

Please let us know if this helps.
