Hi There,
I'm looking for some cell templating examples for asp.net core mvc helper. I've been through the documentation, blogs etc but cannot find details on this. Specifically what i'm trying to do is that when i hover over a particular column i would like it to display the full contents of a different column in the grid. Right now i'm using an unbound column to render a hyperlink that will show it, but it's not ideal.
Are there any sample projects that have this functionality that i can look at?
Thanks
Hi Andrew, Cell templating in ASP.NET Core often requires using conditional rendering in your grid configuration. One simple way is to create a custom column template using the clientTemplate option, where you can show or hide content based on hover events.

I’ve found that looking at practical examples outside pure documentation often helps. For example, I recently worked on a project where we integrated extra UI elements for user interaction. If you’re also interested in practical utilities, this Snow Day Calculator is a fun example of using conditional logic to display dynamic results.
ASP Core MVC, define a custom Client Template for your grid column to embed the necessary data attribute. Then, attach a JavaScript event listener to these elements to handle the hover interaction and display the stored data from the other column in a tooltip. This method efficiently links the columns without using unbound fields and enhances the user experience with dynamic content display. Our entire software platform is built on white label press technology. We rebrand powerful PR tools and offer them as our own. The white label press solution allows us to scale quickly.

Whether you need a small generator rental for home use or a larger one for industrial purposes, we have it all.
That’s an interesting use case! While I haven’t come across a sample project that does exactly that out of the box, I think you might be able to achieve it using a combination of JavaScript and the grid’s cellHover event to pull in values from another column dynamically. I faced something similar while building a custom dashboard for an estate agents Gants Hill client ended up using jQuery to inject tooltip content based on row data. Let me know if you'd like to see a code snippet!
That's a clever approach! If you're looking to enhance the user experience, using tooltips with JavaScript or integrating custom cell templates in ASP.NET Core MVC can offer more control and clarity.
